The Elgato Stream Deck has become one of the most important tools in a streamer's setup. But the Elgato Stream Deck has gone beyond just the streaming world and into live production and broadcast setups as well as being a powerful tool for productivity.
After Elgato released the original Stream Deck with fifteen buttons, they ended up also releasing the Stream Deck Mini with six buttons, and the Stream Deck XL with 32 buttons. Just when it seemed like the Stream Deck was perfect, Elgato innovated again and brought us the Stream Deck Plus. So in this video, we'll be taking a look at the Elgato Stream Deck Plus and the new features that set it apart from the other three Stream Decks Elgato offers in order to find out if it's really the overall better Stream Deck to get.

The intro man is fantastic. I wish you made more opening and gadgets testing videos like this one because you explain everything so well and the editing is excellent. As usual, you are an amazing Content Creator!

[@EagleGarrett]

Hey, thank you so much! I really appreciate that encouragement and I'll be working on many more videos to come!

[@tooreosonecup4995]

After 5 or 6 diff videos, this is the one that sold me. Thank you. Subbed :)

[@EagleGarrett]

Hey, I'm so glad this helped out in the decision making process! It's a great device and I'm stoked for you that you're picking on up!

[@willieescotv]

Love this! I’m actually going to buy this for my stream. It has everything you need all in one 🔥

[@thescepterofjudah12]

Very nice review! I will be getting this for my Podcast and Livestreams. They now have a white one and custom color buttons to add to it. As a person who has a Rødecaster Pro II, I would this Elgato device to control my Elgato Key Light as well as my GoVee RGB lights and panels! I could also use this to play commercials during my Livestreams and live Podcasts, and put screen effects in, especially when a Super Chat happens, or a donation occurs. People complain about this device only having 8 buttons, but when I hear their reviews, they’re reviewing a product that’s not for them. I like the fact that you can incorporate this into your desk setup in conjunction with your current Elgato Streamdeck, which now you have the best of both worlds.

[@REALHARSH]

Just ordered this today. Great, helpful video cheers 👍🏼

[@EagleGarrett]

Nice! Glad the video was helpful, enjoy!

[@REALHARSH]

@@EagleGarrett cheers mate

[@rostad89]

Bro, that intro killed me 🤣 the light and sound was perfect 🤣 and also, this video made me drive straight to the store and buy one 😅

[@orderanura134]

Great stuff!

[@EagleGarrett]

Glad you think so!

[@forgivenbigtime7414]

I would really like to get one of these! I have been wanting to get something with extra sliders/knobs to control other audio things, and I think this would be great for that!

[@EagleGarrett]

Right now, this is the best option on the market in my opinion! BEACN also has some great options but the Stream Deck Plus gives you even more functionality!

[@PlanetNumeracy]

Since it'd be my first Stream Deck, I think I'll order the +. Good info!

[@EagleGarrett]

Thanks so much! And that's a great choice! The plus is the most versatile stream deck there is.

[@KyngShadow]

great video. Trying to get a gift for a streamer friend and she doesn't have a stream deck at all and i was trying figure out what would be more useful to her. Definitely getting the plus. thanks dude

[@EagleGarrett]

Yo, she'll love that gift! Also, good choice, it'll give her so much flexibility for her stream. She'll love it, super kind of you to do for her!

[@whitefoxplays]

Being able to swipe through pages, and stack actions on the buttons, this may actually be better for me than the Beacn Mix Create that I've been using. Biggest advantage besides the Stream Deck buttons are the 3rd party integration that will surely come, as well as using this for editing.

[@EagleGarrett]

Yeah, up until this point, the BEACN Mix Create has been the best option for audio mixing and what not. But now that Elgato has brought out the Stream Deck Plus, I have to say, I think it's ultimately a more feature rich option. And yes, third party integration is going to make this so awesome!

[@Level08YT]

Is there any chance to make an OBS best settings video?Like the settings you use, video, audio, mic filters? That would be dope, hard to find a decent tutorial out there, especially the mic filters settings. I'm sure you would make a fantastic video!

[@EagleGarrett]

I'll put that on my list of things to work on! I might even be able to do a video covering each of those things seperately. I'll have to see!

[@Level08YT]

@@EagleGarrett That would be fantastic; what better way to kick off 2023 than with a brand new OBS guide!

[@jameshead8067]

Hello from Toetag80 keep up the good work and no I do not have one making me think I should get one

[@EagleGarrett]

Thanks brother! I appreciate that. And yeah, it's a pretty tempting offering by elgato!

[@Chosenorc]

Thanks man! I have been thinking of getting the Stream Deck + as my first one, but I couldn't really justify the price. I saw your video and now its on the way :D

[@EagleGarrett]

Hey, you're welcome! I'm so glad this video could help. I think you'll love it man, I've been loving mine and have only scratched the surface of it.

[@ProbRob]

@@EagleGarrett is the stream deck plus the best out of the elgato stream decks?

[@EagleGarrett]

@@ProbRob It really depends on your need, but as far as flexibility and overall feature set, yes, I'd say so!

[@ProbRob]

@@EagleGarrett alright thanks because I’ve been considering getting one

[@EagleGarrett]

@@ProbRob I'd say this is a good option! Especially if you could use the audio mixing capabilities.

[@anthonytan8751]

Does this work for Windows 11?

[@daveovington-brown4122]

So can you assign the rotary controls as multi - action like you can with the normal streamdeck

[@EagleGarrett]

You can indeed! Not as many functions as the normal buttons as far as what is integrated. But they can have multi actions if I remember correctly.

[@cajamanual6713]

I didn't decide between Elgato Stream Deck + (w KNOBS) , just 15 Key Stream Deck or Megalodon Triple Knob Macro Pad. I'm thinking to buy the nob Controller too to make a Combo. Which one you will choose base in your experience?

[@EagleGarrett]

Good question! I'd choose the Stream Deck + with the knobs. It's one of the most flexible systems there is right now.

[@cajamanual6713]

@@EagleGarrett Thank you!

[@jonathoncurley3121]

tempted to buy it but dont know to be honest, i have the first one but only really use it to change scenes, i used to had it set up with all fun stuff until my pc crash n just been to lazy to set it all back up again. plus i barely have time to even stream or make videos anymore, so trying to decide if it even worth it to upgrade

[@EagleGarrett]

I'd say wait until you actually need it. Especially if you aren't even streaming much right now. Since you already have one, save your money for now and then, when/if the need arises, get one!

[@geraldsalas3213]

is there a more indebt tutorial for the stream deck plus?

[@EagleGarrett]

Like, how much more in-depth would you like a video to be? What all are you looking for?

[@vukotr]

I have wanted a stream deck for so long but don’t have the funds for it haha

[@EagleGarrett]

It's defintiely worth saving up for!

[@VictoriaMan69]

I would like to switch pages and profiles with a dial.

[@EagleGarrett]

I could see this being available in the future. Right now it's not but I don't doubt they'll add it. Why not just swipe the screen though?

[@alexkreisel6075]

🇩🇪 hi habe das Problem das Alt+1 im Game nicht geht sondern nur 1 wir angekommen mach ich es auf einen Dreh Regler alt+1 und Dreh schnell geht alt+1 wenn ich langsam drehe wird nur 1 angekommen Bor Hilfe möchte eine Taste Alt+1 nur haben er hält alt nicht 😢

[@luckyshot7722]

Waiting on the XL version #streamdeck

[@CruiseLifeTV]

Hello Carla

[@RU_B1G]

They need a Steam Deck XL+. Or a 15-18 button with Knobs

[@EagleGarrett]

I would 100% be down for one of those! I'd also love a streamdeck with two USB ports so it could connect to and operate two computers at once.

[@RU_B1G]

@@EagleGarrett just ordered the Stream Deck+. From Elgato. With the free extra knobs promo in RED Can’t wait.

[@EagleGarrett]

@@RU_B1G Very nice!!! I need to get those red knobs, they look so cool!

[@RU_B1G]

@@EagleGarrett $20 is a rip. But glad they have the free promo, Or I woulda done Amazon. :-)

[@EagleGarrett]

@@RU_B1G Yeah, $20 is steep. I could see them being $9.99 more reasonably.

[@olivesouch6423]

Steam Deck: bruh

[@EagleGarrett]

RIGHT?!?!

[@ThatBigRedBear]

Way too many dials. Could've done it in 1 or 2.

[@EagleGarrett]

What do you mean? You don't like that it had 4 dials?
