Stream Deck
The Stream Deck is a customizable control pad, which can act as a programmable keyboard that lets the user create their own macros. It is designed to serve as a video game live streaming control device for online streamers. Each button displays customizable icons and labels, and can be mapped to specific functions like 'Open Program' or 'Mute Microphone', or perform multiple actions at once.
Elgato has released multiple products under the Stream Deck name. Starting with the original Stream Deck on March 23, 2017, with 15 buttons, but continuing with the release of the Stream Deck Mini on July 24, 2018.[19][20] Featuring six buttons and no stand the Stream Deck Mini would target a lower price point with all the same software features of the original Stream Deck.[20] On May 28, 2019, Elgato would release the Stream Deck XL, a larger more expensive Stream Deck featuring 32 buttons and a magnetically attached removable stand, and the Stream Deck mobile app which presented 15 buttons on the user's phone via an Android and iOS app wirelessly connected to their PC. Both the Stream Deck XL and Stream Deck mobile app connected to the same software used by the original Stream Deck and Stream Deck Mini, with all of the same features.[21]
In July, 2021 Elgato released an updated version of the original Stream Deck called the Stream Deck Mk.2. It featured the same 15 customizable buttons, a magnetically attached removable stand like the Stream Deck XL, and a removable face plate.[19] Departing from Stream Deck's normal desktop format, in January 2022 Elgato released the Stream Deck Pedal, a device designed to be operated by the user's feet with three buttons, adjustable tension on each button, and no displays.[22]
On April 18, 2024, Elgato released the Stream Deck Neo as part of its Neo line of all-white products designed for productivity.[23] The Stream Deck Neo has eight customizable keys and an infobar, a horizontal LCD screen that can display information such as the time, current action page, and more.[24]
