Shortcut Your System With a Discounted Elgato Stream Deck+

"If you're an aspiring (or successful) streamer looking to upgrade your production value, the Elgato Stream Deck family is an excellent way to put your most important controls at your fingertips. Right now you can score the upgraded Elgato Stream Deck +, with eight buttons, an LCD screen, and four knobs, for just $160, a $40 markdown from its usual price."

"As a former (unsuccessful) Twitch streamer, I can attest firsthand to how useful the Stream Deck was for managing my broadcasts while also gaming and dealing with chat. The main draw here is close integration with streaming platforms like OBS, letting you adjust stream parameters, mute or unmute audio tracks, and even change layouts with the press of a button. That made it exceedingly easy to switch to my AFK screen when I needed a break, run end of stream credits and music,"

Elgato Stream Deck + features eight customizable buttons, an LCD screen, and four knobs, currently priced at $160, $40 below its normal cost. Close integration with streaming platforms like OBS allows adjustment of stream parameters, muting or unmuting audio tracks, and switching layouts with a single press. Buttons can trigger multiple actions, including delayed sequences, launch applications, or play media, and users commonly share custom icons and macros. The device also serves non-broadcast purposes, enabling game-specific folders for shortcuts and workflow shortcuts for productivity and work tasks. Tasks like switching to an AFK screen, running end-of-stream credits, and adjusting audio levels become quick without direct OBS manipulation.
