Elgato Stream Deck MK.2
Fifteen LCD keys that put your whole workflow one tap away — the Stream Deck MK.2 is the productivity gadget that earns its desk space.
Our Verdict
Fifteen customizable LCD keys with visual feedback, hundreds of plugins for OBS, Zoom, Photoshop, Spotify, smart lights and more. Once configured, it removes dozens of clicks a day.
What We Like
- 15 backlit LCD keys with custom icons
- Hundreds of plugins and icon packs
- One-touch multi-actions and app switching
- Works with Mac and PC
- Solid build with swappable faceplates
Worth Knowing
- Learning curve to set up profiles
- USB-powered, so it needs a free port

- Some plugins depend on third-party apps
Who Is This For?
Remote workers, streamers, editors and anyone whose job involves repetitive app actions.
The Full Picture
You assign actions to keys — mute mic, switch scenes, launch apps, paste text snippets, control lights. Profiles switch automatically per app, so your Zoom keys differ from your Photoshop keys. It is a small desk appliance that measurably speeds up daily work.
Bottom Line
A genuine productivity multiplier for desk setups — our top pick for a macro controller.
