Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 – Studio Controller, 15 macro keys, trigger actions in apps and software like OBS, Twitch, ​YouTube and more, works with Mac and PC

I just wanted a fun and quick way to put custom sound effects into Discord while I was playing games with my buds on PC. Stream Deck combined with the Soundpad program work perfect for this, and its made game time even more fun!

Extremely hard to learn and setup with Hotkeys. Could never find how to put anything more than 2 key presses within a key. Very nice in concept and appearance, but I just could not find resources for learning how to program it and found the little window their setup software presents as very limiting and immature by todays user friendly software standards. Also, the System heading within their setup program lost all available commands as I was trying to use it leaving ONLY the Hotkey Command Choice. After uninstalling and re-installing the commands are still lost. So, after 2 hours of researching YouTube and the Internet I just gave up. This device was supposed to save time and not waste it.

Ive had this device for less than a week but Im using it for gaming and photo editing.

Im using this for streaming on Twitch, and I am just in love with this little device. It makes it so much easier to trigger all kinds of things, from sound effects, to visual effects, to scene changes. You can turn the mic on and off. Mainly I am using it for stream where I want small graphics or video clips to pop up on the screen at relevant times without having to memorize hotkeys or go into OBS while streaming and find a bunch of stuff in the list. Setting up the keys seemed pretty easy, I watched a Youtube tutorial or two though for ideas, such as doing the multifunction keys to do something like trigger a hotkey, trigger sound effect, pause, trigger same hotkey to toggle a function on and off. I found it very useful, and my only regret was not buying the one with more keys! For this one, you can have multiple profiles so youre not limited to the number of keys, though.

I purchased the El Gato Stream Deck to use for gaming and video editing and it is freakin awesome. I love this thing. It allows me to speed up my time while video editing with hotkeys on the programs I frequency use like Adobe premier, After effects, Photoshop, adobe illustrator and character animator. I also use it to control live animations with animated puppets on character animator. I use it while streaming on twitch as well. It makes my twitch stream run a whole lot smoother and look more professional. I also use it to go to my favorite websites at a push of a button and am really surprised just how much I use it. For the stream deck was a game changer and would definitely recommend it to a friend or anyone. Really cool.

This is a very neat concept but i cant do any special overlay or anything when steaming straight to YouTube. in order to do any of the fun stuff, it shows I have to stream to OBS then download my stream and upload it to my youtube channel making a lot more steps and taking more time.

非常に便利ですが、動作が不安定でした。

Seas streamer o no este aparato es una ayuda fantástica para tareas “tontas”, darle a guardar, lanzar ventanas… Puedes automatizar casi cualquier cosa, tienes infinitas paletas de 15 teclas, que se pueden ir autocargando por aplicación… A mi me parece super práctico, la verdad.

Very cool and useful device for many different applications
