I have owned my streamdeck for almost 2 years now and i do not even know how to live without it, it makes so many things easier and there are so many plugins
I used the Elgato Stream Deck for frequent shifting of different overlays on screen, but also for several other shortcuts like playing audio or clips or switching between scenes. Customizing operability is very easy, as well as exporting and importing configurations between computers. And the custom image for each button makes this very easy to recognize the controls at a glance! I highly recommend this product. There are even 3 sizes of Stream Deck so you can choose the one that's right for you!
I've been using this device ever since I got it at the end of last year, and I can say with confidence that it was worth every penny! The buttons are easy to program, and if anything is too confusing at any point, there are millions of tutorials and resources out there to help you out there! You can use it to play sounds and visual effects on your stream, open web pages and programs in an instant, and so much more! The only downside that I can think of is that I want more buttons, but other than that it's a wonderful product! I would highly recommend it to anyone who streams or even just works at a computer.
Friend talked me into buying one. Didn't think I needed it but man was i shocked at how much you can do on it even when not streaming. from the ability to instantly load websites to going live in the blink of an eye its so much fun to have everything you want at your literal fingertips.
The stream deck is a sweet little device that's about the size of your cellphone. It's really useful for adding macros or shortcuts to enhance your daily experience. I don't stream very much and I still find a use for it! My keyboard is fairly basic, but the streamdeck lets me have things like media controls, quick launches, and even a preset timer.
Being able to set the images on each button is super handy as well. Lets you clearly see the buttons even in a dark gaming room.
This is easily one of the greatest pieces of hardware I have in my kit. Not only is it exceptionally useful for when I stream, allowing me to much more easily and seamlessly switch scenes and cue events, but it's useful for a ton of other things as well.
Not only do I use this to control my livestreams, but I also implemented it into my daily video editing workflow, and even use it to control certain aspects of my smart home with the nifty IFTTT integration.
My only real complaints regarding the product is the rather awkward stand it comes packaged with. If you use it, don't expect a very broad range of angles to hold the stream deck in. Aside from that, this thing is fantastic.
The thing is built to be exceptionally sturdy, and after years of extensive daily use, it's still working just as well as it did on day one. A great buy for anyone looking to make their daily computing lives even easier - streamer, content creator or power user alike.
