The Elgato Stream Deck Plus is a dedicated hardware control panel for streamers, content creators and power users who want physical, tactile shortcuts instead of hunting through menus mid-broadcast. It combines 8 fully customisable LCD keys — each one showing its own live icon, so a key can display a scene thumbnail, a mute-status indicator or an app icon rather than a blank button — with 4 touch-sensitive rotary dials that both turn and press, giving continuous control (volume, zoom, scene transitions, EQ) alongside simple on/off actions. A dedicated touch strip above the dials adds a further swipeable, tappable control surface that can be assigned to scrub through timelines, switch between dial pages, or trigger custom actions. Everything is configured through Elgato's Stream Deck software, which supports deep integration with OBS, Twitch, Discord, video editors and hundreds of third-party plugins, letting a single key or dial trigger multi-step actions (start recording, switch scene, mute mic, post a chat message) with one press. It connects to a PC or Mac over USB and sits flat on a desk within easy reach during a live stream or recording session.
