Elgato Stream Deck + Audio Mixer Console

This device itself is compact and light weight. It’s small enough to fit on any desk without taking up too much space. The quality of this product is excellent. Setting it up was a breeze. Each button is bright and clear and works smoothly. Its definitely a game changer for anyone who is into streaming or creating content. Whether you are a beginner or experienced streamer it makes managing your broadcast a lot simpler.

The quality of the product is nice but it’s a little more on the expensive side for the white edition as it matched and looks great with my pc setup it’s a great tool for streamers and gamers to easily access feature you wold have to click with or alt tap into and the ease of use is very noob friendly along with the satisfying sound of clicking a button

I would really give this more like 3.5 stars. I got this to supplement my Stream Deck mk. 2 as I was starting to use a lot of folders and it was getting cumbersome to manage during streams. As a secondary Stream Deck, I think it’s very handy to have, but I don’t think I would like it as much if it was the only Stream Deck I own.

First, the good things. It is quite a bit heavier than the standard Stream Deck which means that it actually stays put when I press buttons. I have a desk mat that these sit on and with the regular Stream Deck, I have to hold it in place while I press buttons to keep it from sliding around and it is rather annoying. The buttons are also larger than the regular Stream Deck, which makes them easier to see and read. With the addition of knobs, I can consolidate three buttons (volume up, volume down, and mute) to a single knob, which saves a lot of space. The touch pad frees up buttons that would otherwise be used for page navigation, which is handy. And while I find it annoying that specific hardware is required for this at all, this does unlock the Wave Link software, which is superior (IMO) to things like Voicemeeter, so that is very handy.

However, the knobs aren’t very flexible. For example, I have one set to control the music (a VLC source) in OBS, but both the knob push and the touch panel tap are set to mute it and there is no way to change either. I would like it if the tap muted but the press toggled between two set volume levels. You also can’t easily change the icons above the knobs like you can with buttons, nor can you have the icon toggle between two custom looks like with buttons. There’s also an argument to be made that knobs are really not that necessary to begin with. Almost everything I would set to a knob is something I set once and then forget about, so there’s really no need to devote so much physical space to something I’ll never touch again.

While it’s nice for legibility that the buttons are bigger, this also means there are only 4 across instead of 5. Maybe they did this for the aesthetic, but they could easily have fit two more buttons on this. The screen also seems to have a different color temperature than the one in the regular Stream Deck, so my icons have a noticeable yellow tint by comparison. A nitpick, sure, but annoying nonetheless. And finally, it’s just really large for what it is. It makes a bit more sense now that there are dock attachments, but it still takes up a lot of space. You could probably fit an entire Stream Deck XL in the same footprint.

Also, and this is really a Wave Link nitpick but since the whole idea of this device is that you don’t need a Wave mic or interface, they really need to add a mono downmix feature to the inputs in Wave Link. I know that Elgato has said this is an interface problem and they are technically correct, but since nearly every audio interface for the past few decades operates like this on Windows, the onus really is on Elgato, not the hardware makers, to provide a solution.

All in all, it’s a good device and I will be keeping it. It just has a lot of room for improvement and most of these complaints have existed since it launched.

I just had to share my excitement about the Elgato USB-C Stream Deck +! 🚀 It has completely revolutionized my streaming setup, making everything so much smoother and more professional.

The versatility of this device is mind-blowing. With customizable keys and the ability to control various aspects of my stream, from scenes to audio levels, it’s like having a powerful production console at my fingertips. The USB-C connectivity ensures lightning-fast response times, and the build quality is top-notch.

The integrated audio mixer is a game-changer for me. Being able to tweak and control audio sources on the fly without leaving my main workspace is incredibly convenient. It has streamlined my workflow and enhanced the overall quality of my broadcasts.

The sleek design and compact size make it a perfect fit for any setup, and the ease of use means you don’t need to be a tech expert to take advantage of its capabilities.

If you’re serious about elevating your streaming experience, the Elgato USB-C Stream Deck + is a must-have. Trust me; you won’t know how you lived without it!

De verdad que ayuda mucho en el flujo de trabajo y controlar tu entorno! Super recomendado

Como herramienta de trabajo y calidad del producto, Excelente!! No le doy 5 estrellas solo por la simple razón que no cuenta con un stand flexible que permita inclinación en diferentes grados. Otro detalle, sería mejor que la conexión usb tipo c estuviera a un lado y no atrás.
