Elgato Stream Deck 15-key USB Keypad $100 + Free Shipping
Amazon and Best Buy have Elgato Stream Deck 15-key USB Keypad (10GAA9901) on sale for $99.99. Shipping is free.
This 15-key model has a newer version with a more sturdy design with Mk.2 designation (which is also on sale but only $10 off at $140).
I do none of the streaming which this unit is designed for but use this solely for RPA. For example, I press a single button that copies my daily data text strings, pastes them to Excel, does all the works like eliminating duplicates sorting etc., then copies them to Notepad++ (which I quickly review and press another button for the next process).
For me, this is a god-sent device. There are macros and other devices with programmable keys (I've even tried remapping joysticks and midi keyboards) but having the LCD button displaying what each button will do makes an incomparable difference. Also, the software is very easy to use and well made.
Features:
- 15 LCD keys: Tap to switch scenes, launch media, adjust audio and more
- Fully customizable: Personalize keys with custom icons or choose from hundreds
- Direct integration: Control game capture, OBS, XSplit, TipeeeStream, Twitch, YouTube, Mixer, and more
- Easy setup: Simply drag and drop actions onto keys in the app
- Unlimited control: Nest folders within folders to store as many actions as you want

An alternative is an Android tablet running an app like Touch Portal or Unified Remote. If you have an old tablet lying around you're not using much this is an alternative to do the same thing.
I use Touch Portal and it works very good plus I can use the same tablet for other things.
Touch Portal will do anything Stream Deck will do plus it doesn't have the limitations of the hardware keys - you can set up as many buttons in Touch Portal as you can fit on the screen. On my 10" tablet I have Touch Portal set up with an 8 wide x 7 grid of keys (1" x 5/8" sized keys) = 48 keys. And you can make as many different screens with different key configurations as you like. That capability alone makes it better than the Stream Deck.
Regardless of the marketing the Stream Deck's "tactile feedback" isn't important as you're not touch typing on a vertically angled device on a stand.

This is the original with an adjustable stand. The MK.2 version has a fixed angle, uses a detachable usb-c cable and has faceplate support, but it's not functionally different.
Any preference on one over the other given the features? Mk.2 looks nicer but looks like a fixed position

It is. I've been using one on my work computer for shortcuts for over a year now.
I'd probably save the $50 and get this. The upgrades are nice but not $50 nice.
Oooooh!!! Will it display like a track list? Or just the album?
