Elgato Stream Deck Review: A Must-Have for Streamers and Power Users
The Elgato Stream Deck has become a staple in the world of content creation and productivity, and for good reason. Whether you're a streamer, video editor, or someone who just wants to streamline their workflow, the Stream Deck offers a powerful combination of customization, responsiveness, and polish.
Pros:
1. Intuitive Setup & Software
The Stream Deck's companion software is user-friendly and powerful. Drag-and-drop functionality allows you to assign commands, hotkeys, media controls, and more with ease. Profiles can be created for different apps or tasks, making the device incredibly versatile.
2. Customizable LCD Keys
Each key is an individual LCD screen, fully customizable with icons and labels. Elgato provides a key creation tool, or you can upload your own graphics. This makes it easy to visually organize your commands.
3. Workflow Game-Changer
For streamers using OBS, Twitch, YouTube, or Discord, integration is seamless. You can switch scenes, trigger sound effects, launch apps, and even control lights (via Philips Hue or Elgato's own products) with a single button press.
4. Not Just for Streamers
While built with streamers in mind, it's also a fantastic productivity tool. Many users customize it for video editing (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve), music production (Ableton, Logic), or even daily productivity (macros, shortcuts, automation).
5. Build Quality
The device feels solid and professional. Buttons are tactile and responsive. It comes with an adjustable stand for comfortable viewing angles.

As a long-time user of Elgato products, I can confidently say the Stream Deck + has taken my workflow to the next level. What sets this apart are the 4 tactile dials; they are incredibly precise for controlling volume, lighting, or even zooming during editing.
The combination of the 8 LCD keys and the touch strip makes navigating through folders and profiles very fluid. The build quality feels premium and sturdy, which is exactly what I expect from my favorite brand. If you’re debating between the standard model and this one, the dials alone make it worth the extra investment.
Pros:
• Multi-function tactile dials are a game-changer.
• Touch strip for real-time info and swiping pages.
• Seamless integration with Elgato’s software.
• Sleek design and very stable base.
Cons:
• Takes a little time to fully customize, but it’s worth the effort.

One of the best Elgato products around! The displays are really nice & bright and the touchscreen bar at the bottom is super cool & convenient! The knobs are great, perfect for adjusting discord and Spotify sound without exiting games. Haven’t noticed any lag when hitting any of my custom button set up! Perfect for if you’re tired of adjusting sounds from multiple sources while game and for setting up hot keys for productivity!

Whether you simply do productivity, or even getting at streaming, a Streamdeck can be a must have. Combining it with their software, it allows you to map almost any kind og quick action, key bind, and more to the device, allowing quick and seamless actions to be performed and you can make certain precise adjustments for sound and other aspects using the 4 dials that too can be mapped.

Best tool to have a streamer. The knobs can be customized do adjust all my audio with a turn instead of using plus and minus button on my old stream deck. My old stream deck is now my dedicated soundboard. Elgato products upgrade but they don't become obsolete because something new comes out.

This is one handy powerful tool for streamers and content creators. I absolutely love mine. the software is easy to use and user friendly, pretty simple to set up! With a press of a button i can play a funny soundfile or play and control music, i also use the dials to set the brightness on my elgato lights and set all audio levels. Very handy to have all this at your fingertips while live streaming, no closing out of screen to configure all that with this device!

It is a tool that helps you manage twich, tiktok in an excellent way and saves a lot of post-production time by giving you the opportunity to make shortcuts to effects, administration, links, and AUDIO!
It's beautiful, if you're a streamer this will be the second most important thing after your keyboard and mouse.
I use it on my pinchivenadillo channel on twich :D

Overall super cool and useful. The interface to change buttons is just not super intuitive when creating new profiles other than those included in the software. There is a huge library of buttons and profiles though that help mitigate that.

This is a great device for people who want to streamline certain tasks, key maping is truly endless. I feel like the device falls short with the lcd touch screen. Good resolution and responsive but each nob can act as 3 seperat buttons. Pressing the touchscreen above the nob does the same as pressing the nob. Example: when wanting to display a clock on the lcd. I have to program the clock to the nob. Creating a dedicated “clock mode.” So as long as I want the clock displayed I have to keep the nob in clock mode. It would be cool to be able to program the lcd screen seperatly. Other than that this is an essential piece of kit! Go buy one already and streamline your life

I upgraded this from the original stream deck, I was using another external audio mixer but this can do it all, I can control my volume, use micro binds and if you pair it with a XLR Dock that just release from Elgato it's a 3-1 device highly recommended
