Customer Ratings & Reviews

I LOVE this thing! I don't stream but I use it as a launch pad for apps, volume control, opening folders and web sites. I can open several things with the touch of one button! I can change to different profiles (sets of button settings) depending on which program is open and has focus. I can have it open a site AND sign in with ONE KEY!

I am primarily using this as a button box for my simulation games and it works perfect for that. I also plan on using it to essentially script the starting of all the helper apps I use for iRacing so I don't have to manually start them each time I play. Its easy to configure and there are plenty of button labels out there to make it clear what the button is for. I occasionally had slow key response when going through a hub but moved it to a motherboard USB port and haven't had the issue since.

I saw so many streamers use this and i got it for my stream but it isnt just for streaming the fact you can use it for photoshop,audio mixing and just about anything on your PC weither it be a laptop or desktop I would recommend it for anyone who has a pc that wants to make things easier. To say I like it is a understatement ive had it for awhile and bought a second one for my other pc and I went woth the 32 instead if the 15 just cause it was on sale and it was 50$ more for more than double the keys so thats the only reason try youll love it

This USB accessory keyboard is working great for me. It is easy to program application or OS shortcuts, commands and the keys can be programmed with preexisting icons or you can program your own. I’m using on windows10 without any problems. Your programming is limited by your abilities. You can even download already created modules to use with your setup. My main limiting factor is time, but I’m slowly getting it configured the way I want. I bought the XL bc I don’t see the usefulness of the smaller versions. I guess if you have limited space the smaller ones may work for you. I guess the only criticism I would have is the expensive price. It comes down to what are your willing to pay for the benefits you may get from the product.

Works great. Still gets a lot of new updates. Can easily use my normal keyboard for macro shortcuts but I'd much rather see description of the macro shortcut I'm pressing. There are ways to integrate this streamdeck with products from other companies but it's much less headache to stick to elgato products.

So many customizations and macro possibilities, can be used for work!

I use this for professional broadcast control using BitFocus Companion, rather than the included software. But this is the most bang-for-your-buck broadcast controller on the market, lots of buttons, and everyone I know in production has several. For reference there are several other programs for controlling AV / Production equipment with a StreamDeck, including Octopus and Central Control. All three (including Companion) have slightly different feature sets, and slightly different costs. I own 2 StreamDeck XLs and 2 Streamdeck Origional/regular size controllers, and love them all. I always need more buttons! The purchase date listed was for my most recently added XL, but I've been using StreamDeck products since they came out.

I have to say that I love this thing. I read a majority of the reviews here on Amazon before I placed my order, and I can say that 95% of the complaints in other reviews are unwarranted. Complaints others have had: - Short/Fixed USB Cable :: I don't understand this one. Every single wired keyboard and mouse I've ever owned had a fixed cable of the same length. If it doesn't work for you, neither do your mouse and keyboard. - LCD "ripples" when you press buttons :: Try not pressing buttons like a 200lb gorilla. Mine doesn't ripple unless I really try to make it do so. - There's no built-in functions for MYSOFTWARE :: ... This one annoys me greatly. It's built for streaming software. It literally has STREAM in the name. That said, you can set up custom key binds with custom images for the keys all you want. They work great. I have mine doing a dozen functions that technically aren't supported for OBS, Photoshop, and several other programs. - It feels cheap/cheaply made :: What planet these people live on is beyond me... This thing is amazingly well built. - There's a long delay when I press buttons! :: Try not streaming on a potato. Mine works beautifully. Any delay is on the users end. (too much BS running in the background/slow computer) - It's overpriced! :: If you think this is overpriced, you haven't looked at similar products. Programmable keypads with similar functions (with NO LCD) are just as/more expensive. - There's only one LCD, it's not individual displays for each key! :: Who cares? It functions and looks great in the process. My Complaints: - Fairly minimal native OBS options. This is easily overcome with custom key binds, it would have just been nice to have things like mute mic built-in. - Always on display. It really needs to pick up on when the PC display shuts off due to inactivity and do the same. (or shut off when the computer is locked, either way) The TLDR: It's great. It works beautifully for streaming, and just as well as a general productivity helper. I don't regret ordering mine and I doubt anybody else will either.

I heard about this device in the Podcast The automators. I don't stream, I use it to control my M1 MacBook Pro and various applications. I use Keyboard Maestro to trigger macros from the Stream Deck XL. I can't believe what an amazing tool this is. I control my web browser (open up a bunch of pages, switch between them, inset text into search fields, etc.) mail application (choose mailboxes, move emails to various mailboxes. Photoshop, Lightroom, Photo Mechanic 6, etc. It will do what you want, and if you are a Mac power user, this is a tool you will find thousands of tasks for it to control.

I bought this to produce a show with OBS and after a small learning curve I love everything this can do. Its very powerful and you can do a lot with the multi action button. For example, I wanted to hit play and pause on youtube without going away from OBS for that long and with the multiaction function I was able to go to my web broswer then hit play and then right back to OBS. This product costs a lot but it also does a lot and you can get plugins to do even more.

Originally purchased for the memes to use in discord. Turns out you can create amazing short cuts to create instant postings or updates to any followers on social media. All by pushing a a single button. There is much more you can use it for. Only downside i see for this is if you ever lose a large profile and do t have it backed up. You will need to start over with every setting change you altered.

We run several Stream Decks with our video system at church. The software is great to program. We use it to call up several PTZ camera presets as a group for different scenes. The other we use with OBS software to call up lower-third titles. What is really fun is being able to have either Stream Deck do either function by simply calling up a different preset collection of buttons. Great if you're running everything solo!

I've had this thing for two months now and I cannot get over how great it is. All my commands at my finger tips. No more fiddling around with my phone/tablet to control OBS. This K55 keyboard has the Corsair keys, which were useful for a bit, but there are so many possibilites with the Stream Deck. I got the XL and even though I dont use all the buttons on each setup, everything is spread out nicely and it's made streaming so much better. I dont have to click out of my game and have the audio stop when I need to change source. Boom, this just does it. Also love all the extensions. I have it ingrated with Spotify and Lightroom. BUY IT.

This is seriously a great product. Very easy to use and configure. Responds quickly. It's range of uses are limited by your imagination. Nesting buttons inside if buttons basically means you can create an infinite number of menus. Do you need a Stream Deck? Yes. Absolutely. Do you need a Stream Deck XL? Maybe. Nesting of buttons means you don't need as many buttons to begin with, but the XL has a ton of real estate. Creating custom icons is a great touch. For sims and apps that require many key bindings, this is a huge time saver. If you're a streamer, seriously just buy one.

I had the 15 button standard elgato stream-deck, saw this came out, and got the xl one as well, found out they just added support for nanoleaf light panels, got them paired up and works perfectly. I'm in love so far! also the 15 button one also works, i just dedicated that one to sound and video controls, while the xl one does other things like launch programs, or change my lights.

I owned the first edition of the original stream deck. It was fine but the software wasn't there yet and overall pretty buggy. Now though it's so.much better and I can easily recommend any of the stream decks.

Pros: - VERY customizable - Awesome software support (Elgato is owned by Corsair) - You can make the keys look like nearly anything - You can configure keys to do nearly anything -Sound board shortcuts -Game shortcuts -OBS and similar streaming software integration -Various custom lighting ecosystems integration (I use it with my Philips HUE setup in my house and it is flawless) -Windows 10 integration is nearly flawless and have had few hiccups if any -extremely responsive all around Cons: - Very VERY expensive - Software seems to be locked down by the manufacturer, it not being open source makes me fear longevity of the software and thus the hardware +/- There could be other community led software integration I’m unaware of

I have both the 15 key version as well as this XL version. My 15 key one for work is a great size for my smaller desk. This larger one is maybe unnecessary for my applications, but I have no regrets with grabbing this on sale. The functionality of this is endless with what feels like a never ending amount of keys.

I used Elgato 15 keys before but I upgraded to XL for more keys I needed for livestreaming. I used vMix and makes my live easier. Highly recommended.
