Elgato Stream Deck Neo
Eight customizable LCD keys that put shortcuts, app controls and smart-home actions one tap away — the Stream Deck Neo is the desk upgrade that actually gets used daily.
Our Verdict
A compact 8-key macro pad with LCD buttons, a touch strip, deep app integrations and a two-button pedal-style control bar. It replaces the repetitive clicks and key combos of everyday workflows.
What We Like
- 8 customizable LCD keys plus touch strip
- Deep integrations: Zoom, OBS, Philips Hue, Spotify and more
- Elgato software handles profiles and multi-actions
- USB-C, works on Windows and macOS
- Smaller and cheaper than the 15-key MK.2
Worth Knowing
- 8 keys can feel limiting for power users
- Software must run for keys to work
- No included stand — sold separately
- Requires setup time to be genuinely useful
Who Is This For?
Streamers, remote workers, video editors and anyone whose workflow is full of repetitive clicks and shortcuts.
The Full Picture
The Neo keeps the core Stream Deck experience at a lower price and smaller footprint. Multi-actions let one key run a whole sequence — open an app, set a scene, post a message. LCD icons make keys self-labeling, which matters once you have more than a few.
Bottom Line
The easiest productivity gadget to recommend: one tap replaces the fiddly stuff you do dozens of times a day.
