OMG where to start with this device. There are soo many configuration options I dont know where to begin all I can say is maybe going with the 15 buttons wasnt enough for me so I may be looking to upgrade in the future. The buttons are pleasing to press and the fact that they can run GIFs is also a great move. Still need to work on my screen saver, but it has been great getting things running with this tool. Would definitely recommend
I really appreciate the fact that you can add folders to your deck. I have a folder of prewritten tweets that are just ready to go at a simple press of a button. It helps having things at the top of your fingers. I definitely would recommend this to every streamer!
I’ve been using the StreamDeck for 3 years and it has been an amazing experience. I actually own now the mini, the standard and the XL. I love each one. The integration is amazing and makes you save so much time and do stuff that wasn’t really possible before without a lot of trouble. The only downside that I can see are that the cables usually are not long enough. It would be great to have at least double the size they ship with.
An amazing tool for streaming and everything else!

I was originally on the fence about the stream deck, friends telling me I could make something for a fraction of the price and I’d be silly for getting it. But once I made the decision and got one, it became a part of my PC I can’t imagine doing without. In fact it’s so good I also bought an XL for more button space.
For streaming I use it for my scenes and sources, nothing particularly special about that, but I’ve made my own icons that animate and change colour while a scene is active. I’ve even setup a Discord mute plugin and made the mute-active animation unmissable so that I’m not speaking while muted (for very long anyway!).
Oh, and those friends who told me not to buy it? They’re either envious or have bought there own stream decks after seeing what I’ve done with mine! One even bought 1 for home, 1 for work (he’s a network admin so he has his favourite shortcuts active on the stream deck to save time) and 1 for his church who live stream sermons!!
After a decent microphone the stream deck would be my most recommended purchase for any streamer, but also in general, it’s an amazing tool that I couldn’t do without.
I got this to use about two years ago to help me with keying things up during my twitch streams and it’s been really helpful! I even use to to key up stuff with my college school work! Best thing to use for streamers and multitaskers!
I’m not the best streamer in the world. I get excited and absent minded and sometimes forget to switch scenes. But with this it’s easy to remember to switch since it’s right in front of me and with visual feedback it’s easy to see what scene I am on. It has made my life mush easier and now I could not stream without it.
