For those eager to enhance their efficiency, the Elgato Stream Deck Plus stands out as an invaluable tool for simplifying everyday tasks. Now available at a discounted rate of $159.99, a $40 reduction, this device can be found at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo, marking its lowest price yet.
The Stream Deck Plus builds on the capabilities of the standard Stream Deck, featuring eight programmable keys designed to help automate various functions—whether it’s silencing your microphone during a video meeting or controlling smart home lighting. What sets the Plus version apart are its four rotary dials, which offer an added layer of customization. These dials are perfect for precise adjustments, such as altering the volume of a specific application.
Music lovers will find the dials particularly handy. A single dial allows you to navigate through a Spotify playlist, with the ability to skip tracks or pause and play with a push. This streamlined functionality replaces the need for multiple buttons on the standard Stream Deck. Additionally, Elgato introduces “Dial Stacks,” enabling each dial to manage several tasks, which you can easily cycle through. A sleek touchscreen positioned above the dials displays current control assignments and allows you to swipe between different profile pages. Although the touchscreen itself isn’t designed to initiate plug-ins like the regular buttons, recent software updates have enhanced its functionality. Users can now assign up to three standard button or plugin actions to each dial, substantially boosting the Stream Deck Plus’s utility since its initial release.
