Product Information

Unfortunately, while the screen responds to tap controls, these are tied exclusively to the corresponding dial function you’ve assigned, which renders the touchscreen incompatible with the plug-ins used with the regular Stream Deck buttons. If Elgato plans to realize the potential of the Stream Deck Plus or some planned hardware in the future, it will be the efforts of the community that make it happen.

Whether it's the cutting-edge technology coming out of ID Software, the high-octane FPS action of Machine Games, or even the more experimental titles from Arkane, Bethesda's name is attached to far more than just its high-profile RPG series. Though it’s relatively small and has a rather chunky bezel around it, the 800 x 100 resolution is sharp and easy to read. However, many of the same goodies you can get on the Elgato marketplace are available for Loupedeck devices, too.Of course, Stream Deck can be customized to control actions exactly how you want, which is especially powerful when creating Multi Actions to, for example, adjust audio, lighting and camera settings simultaneously. Eight keys are two more than you get on the Stream Deck Mini but seven fewer than on the midsize Stream Deck MK.

Control Spotify: Now the controls for Spotify are always at your fingertips; play, pause, shuffle, change volume and much more with the Spotify plugin. However, Stream Decks are designed to simply be placed on a flat surface, which, while sufficient for most, can quickly lead to desk real-estate issues and an ever-growing mass of spaghetti wires going every which way. All of the cool stuff you can do with a Stream Deck is tucked away in the Elgato marketplace or on random GitHub pages, which doesn’t make it easy to find new plug-ins unless you know exactly what you’re looking for. There are collapsible menus for Twitch, Mixer, OBS, Xsplit, YouTube, and even Twitter ready to go in this right-hand rail after you install Stream Deck.

Adding functions to the various inputs on the Stream Deck is accomplished via drag and drop, with any changes reflected immediately on your device. With integration for not just Elgato Game Capture software but also programs like OBS and XSplit, you have plenty of options for how you present your content.
