It's a hardware button pad that you can assign macros and key combinations to each button. Basically a customizable set of hardware hotkeys.
Thanks, I guess I got the idea, so you basically connects this to your PC (only if you're using a PC) and instead of using the keyboard you click the button on this device?
Not sure, it's of any use to me.

Yep, that's it - it's a customizable/programmable keyboard device. $100 for 15 keys.

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.

Thanks really helpful comment.
I have an old Amazon Fire tablet which I convert using Amazon Fire Toolkit and will use that for this.

Looks like such an over priced product...
it actually is a bit overpriced for what it actually is, and is capable of, I'd say its more for folks need/want a PHYSICAL button push, and or people who don't know what TouchPortal is.

You forgot the part where the "it's just a keyboard with fewer keys" is buttons with customizable color LCD icon graphics that can change to show toggle states and can even be animated gifs. Stream decks are also recursive so you can page between and drill down to many different "pages" or directories full of key command sets and tools so even a 15 key streamdeck (let alone a 32 key one) can have hundreds of actions ("as many different pages/folders of actions as you like"), usually grouped by type/ family/use/app on the main "screen" like folder groupings or bookmark headings that you drill down from. The keys are also way more responsive than a tablet. I've used both in the same scenario. It's fine if you prefer a tablet but slapping the screen on a uniform tablet surface is not the same as pressing buttons on a stream deck.

It is. I've been using one on my work computer for shortcuts for over a year now.
What shortcuts do you use? Or automations?

Amazing little device. I own 3 between work and home. Shortcuts are great, macros are great. But my favorite feature is you can stack commands. So say for example you use a specific program that doesn't have global shortcuts, you can setup a sequence that firsts brings that program to focus, and then executes the keyboard shortcut. All with a single press of a button. Pretty nifty.
Examples, please? Thank you

Depends on your scenario.

But a real world use would be if you're into, say, selling on eBay, you could have one button launch your excel bookkeeping file, another launch your word doc with a shipping label template, another open the bookmark of orders pending shipping, and so on.

If you're into photo editing, each button could have a different keyboard shortcut. The display makes all the difference, since many keyboards have macro buttons, but it's remembering which button does what that's the hard part. To be honest, without the display on the keys this item wouldn't be nearly as useful.

And that's just scratching the surface. It can chain together actions and really save you time from a productivity point of view. If you're into efficiency and technology, you'll love it. If you hate complicated things even if they're useful, it would probably gather dust and not get used.

If you're on the fence, consider getting a gaming keyboard with complex macro keys like the Logitech G910. It has some 10 (to 30) macro keys and a lot of other useful features. It's only lacking the display, but it's a whole keyboard and it costs less then this thing. The Elgato is just a cherry on top if you like the Macro feature but are willing to pay for ease of use.​

the display is a big feature. You can creatue custom icons from screenshots of things or use other icons, the displayed button can change it's icon to show states (pause/play, mic live/mute, a lot of other things).. also can change the button icon display across multiple presses of the same button. Macro keyboards and other devices like this one had to rely on stickers or labels and remain the same button, or you have to try to memorize them so pale by comparison. Also, most "gamer keyboards" aren't that great compared to better mech keyboards so some people wouldn't want to go that route. The only thing close to this is using tablet that can do shortcuts/actions/hotkeys with custom icons (elgato actually provides a tablet version of the steam deck software incidentally) -- but using a flat plate tablet pressing your hands on window glass essentially really doesn't have the same functional feel to it at all. It's like saying use a tablet with a virtual keyboard as your typing keyboard or num pad.

Great info here! I was about to pull the trigger until I read your post. I have never heard of Touch Portal before. Good stuff!

You can. It'll display current album art, along with skip and back controls on three separate buttons. It's one of the built in integrations.
Dagogo, is that you?
