Nice demonstration video. I recently got the Stream Deck Mini (6 buttons); I teach statistics online and it's been very useful having some the multikey functions defined as single-buttons. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to set it up. I'm very happy with it and it allows for 10 pages of definitions for the 6 keys.
Getting ready to buy one of these at the end of the month. This appears to be an overall production game changer, not just for streaming. It will definitely come in handy for that too tho lol
I love the original stream deck, and from what I see here this is just a cheaper version with a little added annoyance of having to scroll through more pages, but it’s definitely worth it because it’s half the price of the original, Great review.
The fixed angle and attached cable are unfortunate, though I can understand why they chose to keep this model simpler and monolithic. It is at a good angle; pretty much perfect for the intended use cases, but the shallow slope of the larger units (when removed from their stand) is a very nice option to have.
FYI, Its now and only today on Amazon Prime for $59 vs the $99 tag. This is super new as I don't know anything about making videos, it seems you can do so much with this cool gadget.
Well the ORiginal is 150. I don’t see it that bad a deal. Most things are that way. Does the same thing. And I am sure would go on sale. It’s a choice one would need to make. Spend 50$ more just to have more buttons. Or not.
Quick question. I'm looking for a tool that will allow me to play pre-determined audio files during my podcast. For example, sound effects! Would I be able to do that with this deck? I want to program things like sound effects, or sample a part of a song I've released and simply press a button on the steam deck and the audio comes in during my podcast etc. I'm hoping this is capable of doing that and it's simple to do and setup? Thanks for the review!
People are actually complaining about the price of a custom macro mini keyboard that has build in displays and a ready to go application with integrations with every program they'd use? If you cant afford it you couldnt afford any of the programs you'd get any use out of using it with anyways...
The regular stream deck has been on sale for $100 two or three times in the past so I would think the mini would be $80 or less. I think this will make people hesitant to buy the mini waiting for a sale on the original stream deck. On the other hand, Elgato may not lower the price of the original knowing they set their price point of $100 for the mini.
I kinda like the triangular design a little more, the stand can be quite strange in my experience if I try to move it. Longer cable is very nice, my normal stream deck isn't that bad in terms of cable length, but it should be longer for more ease and versatility. I LOVE the steam deck and I haven't even been using it too long. Im a new streamer that I am trying to get everything set up perfectly and it definitely made me feel more like a professional and make my stream experience feel better. I don't think the pricing is great on either device, but Prime Day allowed me to save a good amount. I'm still playing around with mine and adding more and more to each profile. It's been an amazing experience overall honestly. Now I just gotta figure out how to configure my Blue Yeti microphone more...
I think Elgato has got the design right in the new Stream Deck XL. The cable attaches at the Stream Deck end with a USB-C connector so you can use the USB-A to USB-C cable Elgato supply or use a cable of your choice (longer, shorter, USB-C on both ends etc.). The stand is a single fixed position, attaches with magnets and has a hole to feed the USB cable through. The cable attachment has been designed in a way that allows use with or without the stand. This means you can take your Stream Deck XL with you by lifting it off the stand, detaching the cable and using a spare cable you keep in your laptop bag whilst on the road. I wonder if we will see a mark 2 version of the 15 key Stream Deck using a similar design to the XL. The 6 key probably is best left as it is: removable cable, stand etc. make less sense with the small form factor.
I am happy with the normal size but a 6 key stream deck I would lack some keys so I don't have to use many folders. But I might see it as a good addition to my set up so I have all my animations on the normal size and the small one for main controle. Such as mic controle, stream on & off, media controle and such things.
Can’t wait to get. So can you set up to have a button on first screen to go to more options as well? Like a second page to have things like shadowplay for recording etc.
i came in here to be informed about how one actually uses one. cus im not buying anything until i know what in the world it does. haha. new to this. i will probably buy the mini one just to see if it works well for what i want it for. im tired of switching screens mid stream in order to change,pause or start music, scenes etc.
i hope somebody created this into an app, turning ipad & androidTab screens into multiple special keys similar to that in the video but doing it into the tablet's screen. And also additional controls like dragging-control something and make the, for example, the exposure bar (and similar) on photoshop or premiere to follow, instead of purchasing that elgato keypad.
Great little product that has an awesome look. However, the price point is off, IMHO, but the value added that you can do much more with it than just streaming things. Issue is now, SLOBS has a free app that does the same thing for your phone. Free is key.
Need too put in to consideration the Tech and Hardware put into this and around $100 is definitely a Fair Price in my eyes!! It’s not just 6 push buttons with exchangeable icon stickers... this out 6 Miniature IPS screens and Quality made at that, if your a Serious Streamer then you’ll understand and it’s a good deal you want cheap stuff your gonna look cheap it’ll feel cheap does it work yes but that’s not really what this is about
Seems like it should have at least 8 buttons considering it isn't a huge leap in price for the 15 key model. With 6 I don't see it as offering a lot of convenience since everything will need to be buried in folders w/ each folder really only containing 5 buttons w/ one functioning as a back button. Now that they're owned by Corsair I wonder if we'll eventually see a version of the K95 w/ a built in Stream Deck replacing the mechanical macro keys
DJ K I imagine the software being 50$. So then 50$ more for this which you pay a little for it being compact, or 100$ more to get the 15 key one. So about the same price. One you get 3 more keys extra while the other compact. By 3 keys I mean for price. 12 keys is double the price so 3 more keys. But that is saying the software is 50$. To me I like compact. And it does the same thing other then you may have to press extra buttons. Which takes no time to do.
Should one just use the Elgato Phone Stream Deck until the Stream Deck XL is in stock? Methinks I need a detachable cable. I need at least an 8FT cable for my particular set-up.
Zahid Shabir they bought them out but Corsair has stated that they’re going to let Elgato keep doing things the same as they have. I don’t see what iCUE could bring to the stream deck that Elgatos software doesn’t already do.
sorry for the late reply as I get like 100 notification messages a week mostly from REALLY old comments and found this but what I meant was incorporate it in to iCUE such as having RGB lighting on Corsair products react to the stream deck in one way or another or have some special macro function that works with corsair products (dunno what but whatever they can do)
I saw the title and was like "Mini review? But Frank you already did a full review of it..." And now I feel dumb 😁
😂
That’s a big bruh moment
So *THAT* happened
I have a mini one and I am now running out of keys. I use if this then that so I need folders for everything

as always, great vid!
you've rlly posted a lot this month man, respect.
$100 is overpriced. For 50 more bucks you get almost triple the keys
The OG has been on sale MANY times for $80-$100
On Black Friday or Amazon Prime day you can EASILY get that for $100 or less
The 15 key is $130 on Amazon right now
Ya but can you customize those and put folders in them and put images on them
DJ Blue of course you can
Vannia Cuervo link?
Getting ready to buy one of these at the end of the month. This appears to be an overall production game changer, not just for streaming. It will definitely come in handy for that too tho lol
any news using it?
I just got it for 50 bucks from sale
I was shocked when Frank said that the price was a hundred dollars, This is something i would expect to be in a ”Cool tech under 25$” video.
A little bit pricey dontcha think?? Just get some macros and stickers
Yeah, especially with the regular Stream Deck going at $99.99 on Prime Day.
Or if you own a keyboard with macros, I dont use macros or have any though
I was expecting a lengthy response from Taren
Damian Cady Yeah but I mean, you can make a folder inside a folder (and on and on) allowing you to have infinite macros
Damian Cady No real competition for them right now
Was expecting maybe 60 $ or so ... 100! No thanks, almost the same as the OG.
The OG has been on sale MANY times for $80-$100 on Black Friday or Amazon Prime day you can EASILY get that for $100 or less
Like he said, wait til Black Friday. Also, it has the best software on the market. Half the the cost is basically software lol.
LeJebait Wdym. He compared it to the original stream deck they have the same software.
Yes I know. I'm talking about the software itself. That costs money to make.
Well the OG is 150$. But has sales. I would imagine this would also have sales as well.
Wow, I really want this!!
But what the hell is that price
Raphael Shay 100$
1,000 subscribers with 0 videos more like 18 subscribers
LoganJP thst was completely unnecessary
I love the original stream deck, and from what I see here this is just a cheaper version with a little added annoyance of having to scroll through more pages, but it’s definitely worth it because it’s half the price of the original, Great review.
Just bought one, second hand for £30, super excited
This is like my 4th review I've watched and I think I'm going to just have to buy it and mess with it to really see what all I can do with it haha
The fixed angle and attached cable are unfortunate, though I can understand why they chose to keep this model simpler and monolithic. It is at a good angle; pretty much perfect for the intended use cases, but the shallow slope of the larger units (when removed from their stand) is a very nice option to have.
what you did at 6:00 minutes in wow you legend! amazing way to compare
The most underrated channel on earth.
FYI, Its now and only today on Amazon Prime for $59 vs the $99 tag. This is super new as I don't know anything about making videos, it seems you can do so much with this cool gadget.
I got it and can't wait for it too arrive
Finally! Been interested in this
I was expecting it to be $50 Maximum, under half the keys, under half the price right?
Well the ORiginal is 150. I don’t see it that bad a deal. Most things are that way. Does the same thing. And I am sure would go on sale. It’s a choice one would need to make. Spend 50$ more just to have more buttons. Or not.
U FUCKING CHEAPSKATE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAYHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
+1 for the Menzingers
Hardware Canucks, Linus Media, and you. Best tech channels imo. Always top 3 go to.
U make the best reviews
I so want one of these..... exactly what i need. can you use them to switch between cameras?
This is awesome! I never knew this existed! Thanks!
Quick question. I'm looking for a tool that will allow me to play pre-determined audio files during my podcast. For example, sound effects!
Would I be able to do that with this deck? I want to program things like sound effects, or sample a part of a song I've released and simply
press a button on the steam deck and the audio comes in during my podcast etc. I'm hoping this is capable of doing that and it's simple to
do and setup? Thanks for the review!
Nice review. Well done and well made
Great vid and clear and concise review, other than the pronunciation of gif.
Just got one for 20 bucks! Love it!
Got one for 80 bucks and with the ability to create pages using the profiles feature I basically have all the buttons I need!
That's so dope! Very good review
I feel like this man has a new pc every video
I loved this video! Planning on getting one! Please do another “Back to School” video for 2018. It’s already August!
yo dude nice vid this helps me out alot thx!
Love this thing! Thank you for the awesome vid!!!
Like I said before, always the coolest gadgets
This helped me sooooo much thank you!!!!!
Great Video & Thanks For Sharing 👍🏼
I loved it! Thanks Frank! I'm going with the 15 key :-)
People are actually complaining about the price of a custom macro mini keyboard that has build in displays and a ready to go application with integrations with every program they'd use? If you cant afford it you couldnt afford any of the programs you'd get any use out of using it with anyways...
if it is available in Tunisia
I will surely buy it.
Handy little gadget, I'll add it to my wish list 😉 thanks
As always good video

Oshmar Lindero i agree
If original goes on sale, I would imagine this would go on sale as well. So could get it for 40$ or so on a sale.
It's $79 on Amazon & Best Buy right now (Dec 18, 2018).
Love it man!!!
Amazing product!!!
I love your channel
Is there a cheap version of it or like a fake
insta-sold just from your video. Thank u!
def not worth $100
The OG has been on sale MANY times for $80-$100 on Black Friday or Amazon Prime day you can EASILY get that for $100 or less
Use the app
@Dhars still £100 lmao
Its 60
It is worth it bozo

FYI this is $60 now on Amazon and at BestBuy!!
2 years later and it's at the price point he wanted.
dude that was an amazing video
6 key is on sale for $66 on Amazon right now.
Def getting this
AndreusMagnus why? For $40 more you get 9 more keys.. $100 is unrealistic for just 6
Petersen Xander It's not about how much you're getting for your money, some people just prefer a smaller stream deck over the original.
I have a really important question, can you use two stream decks connected to the same computer at the same time???
They should have come out with this before prime day. Got the 15 keys for 99.99
I am happy with the normal size but a 6 key stream deck I would lack some keys so I don't have to use many folders. But I might see it as a good addition to my set up so I have all my animations on the normal size and the small one for main controle.

Can’t wait to get. So can you set up to have a button on first screen to go to more options as well? Like a second page to have things like shadowplay for recording etc.
I had just checked out the Amazon page right after it came out without even knowing it. Only $100. Crazy.
Atticus Nari "only" xD
ORION The Misc of The Internet Better than the bigger one.
“It’s not just for streaming” *says you can also use it for twitch and UA-cam*
You should rewatch that part cos that's not what he said
Menzingers nice, now i want this! :D
umm what a ripoff the more key version is only $40 more
If this was 50-60 i'd consider it a good deal. maybe $70
TheCaffeinator what’s it called
And if you got a normal StreamDeck during Amazon prime day, it was $99 :) which is why I finally got around to getting one
cool love it hop to get one
Well… hop to it.
i came in here to be informed about how one actually uses one. cus im not buying anything until i know what in the world it does. haha. new to this. i will probably buy the mini one just to see if it works well for what i want it for. im tired of switching screens mid stream in order to change,pause or start music, scenes etc.
I see you have the original deck. Are there any issues in using this and the full-size deck at the same time on the same machine?
how do you get it to go from 1 icon on the device itself to the extras when you click it? like folders within folders
i hope somebody created this into an app, turning ipad & androidTab screens into multiple special keys similar to that in the video but doing it into the tablet's screen. And also additional controls like dragging-control something and make the, for example, the exposure bar (and similar) on photoshop or premiere to follow, instead of purchasing that elgato keypad.

you're awsome man keep going
It looks cleaner then the 15 key
best investment i’ve ever made!
Need too put in to consideration the Tech and Hardware put into this and around $100 is definitely a Fair Price in my eyes!!
It’s not just 6 push buttons with exchangeable icon stickers... this out 6 Miniature IPS screens and Quality made at that, if your a Serious Streamer then you’ll understand and it’s a good deal you want cheap stuff your gonna look cheap it’ll feel cheap does it work yes but that’s not really what this is about
Gif support was suggested by Tarran @ Linus Tech Tips
I would rather spend that on a mini touch screen that i can plug into my PC and do the same thing..
I love it!
the reason why u gotta spend more is for that saucy rgb ;)))
Thanks
Love that notification squad
I wish those Pudding keycaps were available for the german layout :c

Great video. This thing should be like 75$ but still dope af.
Right now, the price on a website is 78 dollars, do you think it's worth it to get the mini and not the big one?
can you stream and play music on the stream with it?
Its so beautiful
People complaining that it's $100, LOL. Its about 150 here, and the next step one version is like $275. (CAD)
This is perfect for me!
Yo is this shot on the C200 because it looks crispy af
I dont currently have a computer at all nore would I stream. But they should make a 9 key. The perfect amount in My opinion.
does the mini and the regular have software? Like r they the exact same thing just different sizes? Or is the mini better?
Has the old Stream-Deck the same Software as the Mini?
yes
Does that mean you can now use gifs on the 15 key stream deck?
@@ericmcclelland7151 probably
Hello this is a great video
Should one just use the Elgato Phone Stream Deck until the Stream Deck XL is in stock? Methinks I need a detachable cable. I need at least an 8FT cable for my particular set-up.
Hope this works with Corsair iCUE as Elgato Gaming was bought out by Corsair like a month ago
Zahid Shabir they bought them out but Corsair has stated that they’re going to let Elgato keep doing things the same as they have. I don’t see what iCUE could bring to the stream deck that Elgatos software doesn’t already do.

Can you record like a regular elgato?
Nice stream deck
For everyone hating on the price I'm here from 2021 to say they lowered it to $80 on the newer models ;P
Can I use this to move between apps and cameras for online workshops and courses when presenting?
