The StreamDeck+ is honestly one of the more impressive pieces of technology I've used. It is very versatile. I've only had it for a couple days and am obsessed with the customizability. The software makes this feature incredibly easy to do (if you're somewhat tech savvy).Build quality is really impressive. Dials & switches have nice texture, look & feedback. I am running both my headphones & XLR microphone (With the XLR backplate) & it's increased my sound quality, & microphone quality.The only con is NOT based on the product itself - it' s still a relatively new piece but the plugins/features are rapidly increasing in quantity & quality. I'm excited to see what future capabilities will be.I'd say worth the cost if you just enjoy techy stuff.

The Elgato Stream Deck + is a fantastic upgrade for content creators, streamers, and productivity enthusiasts. The combination of customizable LCD buttons, dials, and a touchscreen makes workflow automation smoother than ever. The tactile feel of the dials adds a new layer of control, perfect for adjusting audio levels, switching scenes, or fine-tuning settings on the fly. Setup is a breeze with Elgato's user-friendly software, and the endless customization options make it a powerhouse for efficiency. Whether you're streaming, editing, or automating tasks, the Stream Deck + is a game-changer!

I am not a gamer but I love gadgets so I have two of these. One with knobs and one without. Totally programmable with a selection of “apps” that you assign to the controls. I use it to open apps, documents and websites and a few macros. Not all of the available apps work correctly and seem to be works in progress but that goes a little too deep for me. But with all the availability of gaming sights like twitch it looks like a must have for gamers or even podcasters. Price is good and worth it to try for yourself. Good, solid construction.

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 love my Stream Deck. It allows me to program for multiple platforms and programs. Plus you can download a bunch as needed. I use it to live stream, zoom calls, work shortcuts, starting programs, adjusting volumes, etc. Great quality product. Size is perfect for my desk as it sits on my second monitor stand without interfering with other things on my desk. Good value for the money.
