Comprehensive Manual

There is no comprehensive manual for this piece of electronic equipment. A quick start guide is provided both in the box and on the website but other than that I've been looking high and low and can't find a, "Manual for Stream Deck MK.2. The unit might very well be fantastic but I need a long manual with pictorials for my ease of use to kick in.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback — we understand that having thorough documentation is important, especially when getting started with a new device. While the Stream Deck MK.2 doesn't ship with a traditional printed manual, the Stream Deck software itself is designed to be the guide. It walks you through setup, action configuration, and customization step by step once installed. Beyond that, Elgato offers a growing library of tutorials and walkthroughs at help.elgato.com covering everything from first-time setup to advanced workflows like Multi Actions, profiles, and plugin installation. We'd encourage you to install the Stream Deck software from elgato.com/downloads and explore from there — most customers find that once the software is open, the interface is intuitive enough to get up and running quickly. And if you get stuck at any point, our support team at help.elgato.com is always happy to walk you through it.
I was in Canada and got the MK.1 Best Buy, Kamloops after Christmas last year. And I been amazed how powerful this device is. You are able to do basically everything to control your computer, stream and games and is really good quality. I currently have this mounted to my simulation racing rig and it matches so well with my rig. So glad i got one. most definitely be looking at the other products.
good, but needs an ergonomic directional support, you can have it almost flat on the desk or in the 45° (?) angle. Why not make something that you can place in a comfortable corner?
I’ve been using this product for a few years now and I’m happy to say it’s still working perfect and makes streaming much easier, from using different commands for my stream to simply changes scenes in OBS and even changing songs on Spotify it makes my streaming life so much easier! I Definitely recommend this product.
I have been using my Stream Deck for quite some time now as a streamer and even when I'm not streaming. The Stream Deck has made my life as a streamer 100% easier to navigate while live. I can be in a boss fight during a stream and simply tap a button to add multiple commands in chat to help me continue to raise money for charities.
A room for improvement is connection to services within the Stream Deck. My connection to Spotify sometimes runs into issues where I have to force shut it down and re-open it. Despite that issue, the Stream Deck is a life saver that is essential for any content creator.
I have two as part of my streaming setup, one to control my wavelink program in a pinch and the other to control OBS settings as well as other programs! The multi action is ESSENTIAL to making streaming an ease! With one button, I can have OBS launch, open up my wave link program, open twitch dashboard, send out a tweet of going live, change my display name on Twitter to LPxDC (STARTING SOON ON STREAM!) and even change the lighting in my room! If that's not power, I don't know what is!
I’ve nearly used my stream deck every day since purchasing. Streamlined my live streaming, video editing and photo editing routines. Worthy investment!
