The right plan
With its 15 programmable keys, the Stream Deck Elgato is the ideal tool to allow the streamer to act instantly on their stream. A reaction ? A emote ? An animation ? Pressing the dedicated button on the Stream Deck allows you to launch an action in real time without having to use complex keyboard shortcuts or change screens.
In addition to the ease of use of the tool, the Stream Deck stands out thanks to its keys, each of which hides a small LCD screen used to customize the logo displayed on the buttons. It is thus possible to clearly display the action associated with the key. The Stream Deck is the essential tool for raising the level and quality of sound live at another level.
At the moment, merchants seem to have agreed to allow all streamers to equip. Indeed, this Elgato Stream Deck is currently on sale, going from €149.99 to 119 € at Amazon and Baker and €119.99 at Fnac and Cdiscount.
What alternative?
If you don’t need as many keys, you can always opt for the version mini. This version, with 6 keys, is intended for the most amateur players, who do not necessarily need the 15 keys. Apart from this difference in the number of keys, the two models are strictly identical, presenting the same qualities.
This mini version has the advantage of being less expensive than the standard version, initially offered at €100. At the moment, the Stream Deck Mini is on promotion at Micromania for €69.99, which represents a great saving to afford other accessories of streaming.
