I use this to run custom macros for office apps on a Mac using BetterTouchTool as the controlling software. This combination works fantastically! The dedicated page forward/back buttons are good because this is now a true 8-button device, instead of some of the buttons being used to change pages. Small enough to pack in a work bag & set up next to your laptop at your destination. Good build quality. A worthy replacement for the TouchBar (but I'm still saddened that I need to bring an external device around when the TouchBar was able to do this built-in previously). Read more

I’d been considering buying a Stream Deck for a while and am glad to have found this model on sale, because it’s perfect for my uses, and the $20-off sale price made it even better! I’m a beginner Deck user and my computer skills are only slightly above average, and I managed to set this up in an afternoon without dropping money on paid profiles (which are basically preset toolbar sets). I probably could have done it faster if I’d watched some YouTube tutorials rather than going in cold, but I downloaded a few free profiles as a starting point and for inspiration, found some good searchable icon sets, and then customized a profile that fit my uses. In the weeks since, I’ve optimized further using folders and different profiles for a more seamless experience. I can’t wait to learn more as I go, but from what I can tell so far, any keyboard shortcut, macro, file path, or automation that can make your life easier is fair game. App-specific plugins can expand the functionality further, and it looks like you can even automate tasks using mouse patterns and clicks with a special plugin. **Target users for this Deck model** - I’m not a web designer, content creator, or sound / video editor. I am a scientist who works in an office and who uses Outlook, Word, and Excel on a daily basis. I think this is a great choice for casual office users like me. Not too big, not too small, and you have the flexibility to keep expanding your shortcut library onto multiple pages, folders, and profiles. If you want knobs, the Stream Deck + also has eight buttons plus four knobs instead of page-turning keys, but it’s also twice as expensive, making it less suitable as a starter model. - This model is an awesome starter Deck for those who aren’t sure what size Deck to buy. No need to stress about having too many or too few buttons, because as noted above, you can navigate through multiple pages of shortcuts with the integrated touch points. It’s like an improved Stream Deck Mini, because you have two extra buttons, plus you don’t have to dedicate any buttons to turning pages. - Digital nomads and work travelers — because it folds flat! 😄 The other Deck models snap onto non-folding pyramid bases that take up a ton of luggage space, and you’d need to buy a folding base separately if you wanted to travel with them. This one is perfect for travel right out of the box. - Anyone with limited desk space who wants the best of both worlds between a smaller-footprint Deck and a larger variety of keyboard shortcuts. - That said, anyone who’s already accustomed to a larger Deck and who has integrated a large variety of shortcut buttons into their routine may find it cumbersome to switch between pages, and will probably prefer to keep a larger Deck for their home office setup. Even for those users, the Neo might be good for work travel (because it folds!) - It works with Mac and Windows out of the box. For Linux users, I understand there are some GitHub setups that engineer compatibility. **What it does** You can skip this if you already know how the Deck works (or if you already watched my video demonstration), but I thought I’d highlight a few beginner-friendly features in case you’re a casual user like I was who isn’t convinced this device will be useful for them. - Profiles (basically toolbar sets) can be set to switch automatically if you open a relevant program. That means you can have 10 pages of Excel shortcuts and not worry about scrolling through them all if you’re using other programs. - The buttons don’t have to just be actions; they can become sub-folders of related shortcuts, which is a great way to cut down the length of your pages. Like any good scientist, I boilerplate a lot, so I made a Paste folder that breaks out the different types of paste shortcuts: regular paste, paste values, and paste special. The Elgato guide page also suggests putting all the multimedia shortcuts like Play / Pause / Skip in one folder, which is a great idea. And yes, you can put folders inside of other folders. - Hotkeys are a great starting point to quickly improve your workflow efficiency. They let you program keyboard shortcuts like ctrl + v, ctrl + z, etc. and perform them with a single button push. No more will you stop your work, look down at your keyboard, and press two far-away keys simultaneously. Also, if you use macro shortcuts in Microsoft Office, those can easily become Hotkeys too. I eventually just started looking up shortcuts for programs I use frequently and programming in anything useful. - A Hotkey Switch is a toggle between two hotkeys; if you click it, it runs one Hotkey and then swaps to the second function. This would be a good use case for swapping between copy / paste or mute / unmute microphone. - You can use Open to create one-touch shortcuts to files or frequently-accessed file locations on your hard drive, Sharepoint, OneDrive, or Dropbox. If you have That One Excel Workbook you still find yourself spending too much time digging up even though it’s already just a shortcut on your desktop, having a button for it will save you that time. - You can also use Open to launch programs that you use frequently. A long press of the same button can close the application, or you can reprogram it to trigger Force Quit if it’s a problem app that freezes / crashes a lot (looking at you, Adobe Acrobat Pro DC). - Website will create a shortcut to a webpage of your choice, and you can choose which browser it opens in. - Text will type pre-defined phrases, or ASCII characters like mathematical symbols. In this vein, there is a free emoji keyboard profile, if you’re into that. You can finish off your text phrase with “enter” which may be useful for some applications. - Plug-ins can add new actions for specialty programs like Photoshop, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Slack, and Govee light controls. Two big pluses to using plugins is there’s a great selection of free plugins, and you can filter them by operating system while searching. - Finally, Multi-Action lets you do chains of multiple actions with one button. I set one up to start my morning. First it’ll open Outlook, wait seven seconds for it to open, and then use a Hotkey shortcut to swap to my calendar. Then it’ll open Teams and my to-do list program. - There are free icon libraries to download so you can add relevant symbols to your custom shortcuts, or you can just type in a label. My favorites are Entypo and Pure because they’re simple and transparent, so you can see my background color behind them. Palette - The Simple Color Pack provides some nice backgrounds for typed labels. - Switch Profile lets you easily swap to another profile set. It’s easier to set up the profiles to swap automatically between programs, but if you have trouble with it or want to swap around. Read more

C'est un petit gadget qui rend bien des services et facilite certaines tâches lorsqu'on prend le temps de le maîtriser. Il permet d'automatiser pratiquement toutes les actions que l'ont veut en créant des macros et des raccourcis, ce qui évite d'avoir à naviguer dans les menus des différentes applications. L'utilisation très pratique la plus évidente bien sûr, est celle qui permet de démarrer un stream avec OBS ou de le stopper sans avoir à basculer vers l'application, cela fonctionne aussi avec Streamlabs bien entendu. Il suffit d'installer le plugins ad-hoc, et les fonctions sont disponibles dans le menu du logiciel Streamdeck, qui est très facile à prendre en mains, soit dit en passant! Le nombre de plug-ins disponibles est réellement conséquent, et vous trouverez forcément quelque chose qui vous conviendra sur le site Elgato. Vous pouvez créer des profils, dans lesquels se trouvent des pages de raccourcis, 10 maximum, mais dans ces pages, vous pouvez créer des dossiers, contenant d'autres raccourcis ou d'autres dossiers, de ce fait, les possibilités sont quasi infinies. Le seul reproche que je ferai, est que lorsque vous créez un dossier dans une page, ce dossier ne peut que contenir 8 raccourcis ou 7 si vous mettez le raccourci pour revenir à la page précédente. On ne peut pas créer plusieurs pages dans un raccourci, ce qui est dommage. La petite horloge personnalisable en bas du périphérique est pratique et personnalisable également, vous pouvez changer le design selon votre utilisation ou humeur du moment. Cool! Bref, au premier abord, il peut paraître un peu superflu, et ça l'est sans doute, mais à l'usage, on peut lui trouver une multitude d'utilisations pratiques qui font gagner du temps. C'est un peu cher, mais plus abordable que les autres modèles avec 15 ou 32 touches, qui seront utiles aux pros du streaming par exemple. Pour une utilisation perso, avec un peu d'astuce, on peut déjà faire une grande quantité de choses avec celui-ci. Je recommande donc vraiment ce petit périphérique. Read more
