- ✓ 32 LCD keys — enough to hold a full live production layout on one surface without folders
- ✓ Same software and same plugin ecosystem as the MK.2, so nothing is exclusive to the larger board except space
- ✓ One-touch scene changes, camera switches, lighting and audio, each key showing its own current state
- ✓ The right answer when you genuinely run out of keys: this is the Stream Deck to buy for more shortcuts, not the +
- ✓ 4.8★ across 8,542 ratings
Cons
- – $249.99 against $149.95 for the MK.2, for keys and nothing else — the software, plugins and capabilities are identical
- – Most people do not need 32 keys. Folders on the MK.2 do the same job for a hundred dollars less, and the honest test is whether you have already outgrown 15
- – It is a large object on a desk. Two-thirds of a keyboard's footprint, permanently occupied
- – Like the rest of the range, its value is entirely in Elgato's software — the hardware is an LCD keypad

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.
