    I need to preface this and explain I do not use this for streaming. However, I needed a customizable keyboard that goes beyond your usual macros. This is fantastic. I use it with a couple of add-ons to make it work within MSFS 2020. I really like how each profile can be expanded with multiple "pages". Either assign a button as a "home page" or assign a swipe action on the Stream Deck's screen to go through the pages. The hardware seems decent enough, the knobs feel almost dampened and not cheap, the buttons have a solid click. I hope this last me years of use, there is not indication from the build quality it would not.

    15 macro keys per page, 10 pages, highly customiza I am not a streamer. Heck, I don't even game much anymore. But I had to give up my gaming keyboard and return to using an ergonomic keyboard to avoid repetitive stress injury. While I admit that I miss the frivolous flashing light show, what I really miss was the macro keys, which I used for trivial things like special characters. Now I have rapid access to frequently-used special characters, media controls, single-button access to my NAS, router, etc. The keys have little screens on them. The automatic images are generally descriptive enough and highly customizable, and you can also create 72 pixel squared custom images for individual keys for further customization. The only minor complaint that I have is that if you want to open an app, you have to have a path. Apps installed from the Microsoft store and certain utilities built into Windows may not have a path that the user can easily get to. Thus, for Notepad and MS Paint, I had to create a batch file and and create a custom image of a screenshot of the start menu to have an icon.

    Bought this for my fiance since he's the full time gamer yet retired streamer. Spent alot of researching to figure out which to get him & stuff.. Came to the conclusion that this is the best for a 1st time stream deck user, which we both agreed. Its a bit complicated to figure out at first but its all worth it. Not too many buttons yet the knobs & multiple functions are awesome. Both quality and user interface is great.

    This was a great buy. Its literally a switch board but can be used for many other things on your PC. Really has made my life some what easier. Honestly its not needed with hot keys on OBS but makes you feel like drinking champagne on the top of the empire state building looking down on the peasants type of vibe. But this is a great product if you want to bring everything into one eco system.

    Probably the Best of the Streamdecks

    I've had a couple of Stream Decks but this one is probably the most useful one because of the knobs. The ability to control multiple audio outputs is extremely useful, not to mention that you can map it to other commands for useful things like timeline trimming in video editing apps.

    I upgraded from the original stream deck to this because I loved the thought of having physical knobs, plus I edit videos on a regular basis so being able to have a controller for Final Cut Pro was pretty paramount. Especially if you have other Elgato products, this fits in so perfectly.

    The stream decks of any size are a must have for almost any streamer. The software is great and works with so many other apps and services. The addition of the 4 knobs is great for volume control.

    Very useful for breaking out individual tasks if you are running another stream deck model, and the dials are fantastic in thier base use function with even more functionality to be explored if you want to do a deep dive to set this thing up!

    This has been a great additional to my other El Gato products as well as a controller of my Govee Lights both during and outside of my stream. The knobs make adjustments feel smooth when adjust volumes, light strength, or just building out macros to play through. Condensed form factor makes it easy to put on the desk anywhere and it's simply plug and play.

    Wow, I like this unit. I didn't have any other control units like this previous, but I did try the Elgato Mobile Version to test the sequence and controls before purchasing. I think it's well executed. I attempted to use with the WaveLink software, but it doesn't work on my system (I've also had issues with devices like the Beacn Mix Create). Works great if you understand what you need to do for setup.

    I've been looking at the Stream Decks for a while now since I regularly stream using OBS and have a Discord call going at the same time, but couldn't ever justify buying one before. In my case, I could do most of what they did by just setting up some macros or using multiple monitors to have access to what I needed quickly. The Stream Deck plus with it's 4 rotary encoders though is a game changer. I have one set for my mic, one set for the Discord call, one set for the game volume, and one for the background music I play; all adjustable now at my fingertips. Naturally you still get all the other great features that come with a Stream Deck AND you don't have to assign buttons to move back and forth between your pages of buttons because all you need to do is swipe left and right on the touch panel. Beyond those things, the user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate and it feels very well built. I've read other reviews that talk about the buttons (on all Stream Decks) being a bit "mushy" and I agree they could have a more normal "click" feeling to them, but that would be my only minor complaint and for what the Stream Deck Plus offers dealing with "mushy" keys is well worth it.
