Pros

✓ 15 LCD keys that redraw per application, so the same board is your OBS panel in one app and your editing shortcuts in another
✓ One key can fire a chain of actions — switch scene, change light, mute mic, post the message — which is where it stops being a keyboard and starts saving time
✓ Every key shows what it does, so you never memorise a layout or hunt for a shortcut
✓ The deepest plugin ecosystem of any control surface: OBS, Twitch, YouTube, Discord, Spotify, Philips Hue and hundreds more
✓ 4.8★ across 10,262 ratings — the highest-rated product in our catalogue
✓ The default choice of the three Stream Decks: more keys than the +, far cheaper than the XL

Cons

– It is a 15-key LCD keypad at the price of a good mechanical keyboard. What you are buying is the software, and that is worth knowing before the box arrives
– Fifteen keys goes quickly. The answer is folders, and folders reintroduce exactly the remembering-where-things-are problem the visible keys were meant to solve
– The stand is a fixed angle with no adjustment — the same complaint that applies to the Stream Deck +
– The whole value depends on Elgato continuing to maintain the software and the plugin ecosystem; the hardware alone does nothing

Elgato Stream Deck + (8 Keys, 4 Dials)

Turning knobs instead of pressing buttons — the dials are the point

The Stream Deck that trades keys for analog control. Four push dials and a touch strip handle the things a button cannot: riding a mic level, nudging camera exposure, scrubbing a timeline. Eight LCD keys sit above them and change per app. Fewer shortcuts than the MK.2, a different instrument entirely.
