Customer Ratings & Reviews

Simply: If you run complex media apps with a myriad of keyboard shortcuts and/or buried menu commands, this is a godsend. I've mapped out my frequently used commands and macros for Photoshop, Scrivener, Final Cut and assigned them to Stream Deck XL's glowing buttons. They're literally at my fingertips now. One press and custom, complex things occur. My wrists love me again. Steam Deck's secret weapon is that, unlike a physical keyboard, however large, the XL's buttons are virtual, changing with the app or a simple key push. You almost can't run out of customized actions. Most people wouldn't need this peripheral, but if you're a pro app user, it's a necessity.

I grabbed one of these during a recent sale, after eyeing the older model for awhile. This model looked more sturdy and offered more buttons. Love that you can use "Folders" to switch "Pages" on this unit, giving you even more functionality at your fingertips. It's expensive... it's probably unnecessary... but I'd buy it again.

Works great. Gives me plenty of options for different effects while streaming. It has improved my stream quality tremendously. Easy to use and easy to setup.

You still can’t beat Elgato when it comes to stream controllers. After streaming for a year using the stream deck mobile app I thought there was no benefit to havibg a physical deck. But after some connection issues with the app i decided to try out the XL and boy am i glad i did. This thing makes the process of streaming so smooth and easy I’ll never go back.

I am using it for Adobe cloud apps. You can program it yourself or you can go on their website and sometimes it is free you can buy profiles for the stream deck. The profiles are well planned with icons that match what they do.

Stream Deck seems like a simple concept - just shortcuts, but the efficiency and just fun makes it an excellent product. It will speed up your workflow, whether you stream or not! Being able to open folders hurried in external drives in a click, launch apps instantly, or even map your own family’s audio to play back responses like “nooooo” when they ask a question :-) is all so worth it! My son and I are both very impressed with this one!

I love this product from Elgato! Honestly one of the best thing s to add for your stream/ setup, there’s a lot of pros for this one

Streamdeck makes great products, and has a ton of additional features and various other additions you can download for free or purchase. Great for assisting with content creation, whether a livestreamer, podcaster, musician, etc this can help in so many aspects. If you're not a content creator this is still a great product for productivity, multi-tasking, keyboard shortcuts, website shortcuts, tracking the stock market and plenty more.

This device caught my eye. It’s a great looking gadget and I’m a gadget guy. It’s built for streamers but you can do so much in controlling your computer. Open apps, drives, files with the push of a button. Program the buttons to run commands, add predetermined text, etc. The buttons can display colorful icons, pics, etc. You can make the button a folder and then do the same inside that folder so your button options are basically limitless. As it was built for streamers, it does offer so much more for them but the capabilities for controlling your computers are there. It is a pricy add on so you have to make sure it makes sense for you. Also programming is easy but time consuming and as you learn what it can do, you will be modifying what you’ve programmed already to improve. It will take time before you are satisfied. I’m not even 25% done with mine because as I program what I want, I learn more and want actions set up differently.

Makes streaming so much easier. No more switching windows, firing up all the apps, remembering hotkeys to switch scenes. Buttons for everything! Even sound effects!

Great for quick one button actions. The software is easy to use. The LCD buttons use images and/or text so they're easy to find and understand. Highly recommend if you use a lot repetitive actions on your PC.

Greatest device I ever purchased! Bought the regular size one and use it for work as a shortcut device for my folders and cad options.

The Stream Deck XL is amazing. I use it as a programable custom keyboard to simulate one button keyboard shortcut emulation but I can be programmed to launch any program on your computer with one button. It can launch any website or even function. The best way to get a idea of what the Stream Deck can do just type it’s name in the search bar in YouTube and most likely you’ll find a solution or example of how it can make you a believer. This thing is one of the most important computer peripheral I own!

i got two from best buy at 50 dollars off the original price and couldn't be happier with the purchase. does everything it says.

Best purchase I’ve made makes running games easier

This thing is amazing! You don't know you need it but once you use it, you can't live without it. Well, you can live without it but it makes things much easier. It takes some time to set up all of your shortcuts (I am using it to open various software at the touch of a button - so much faster than using the mouse of looking for the software - heck, it's faster than searching for it). I am also using this while editing video in DaVinci Resolve! Next up, I will make shortcuts for my DAW! If you use any audio or video software, this is a must have controller!

Excellent tool for productivity. Easy set up, great quality, the software is very customizable.

Great supplement to my keyboard when customizing my PC shortcuts, macros, scripts, etc. If I had to nitpick, I wish the default icon library had more variety and colors. However, I can easily just download more free ones from their store or just make them myself, although the latter is obviously time-consuming.

So dope and fun to play around with! I'm able to open and access programs and customize the stream deck the way I want

==== Easy to setup and use. Highly recommended. ===
