In all its glory, here we see elgato Stream Deck XL . This little companion seems very simplistic, but deep down he keeps more than he seems. But first of all, what is the Stream Deck?

Elgato Stream Deck is a device dedicated to content creators. Mainly for streamers , since they make their videos live and require quick video edits. Its mechanism is simple: it is a keyboard with programmable buttons to which you can assign tasks. And despite its simplicity, Corsair mounted it to be excellent.

And after a few years, we received elgato Stream Deck XL at Computex , its natural evolution. We can clearly see how its size has increased, now hosting up to 32 buttons and all of them with more possibilities than before.

As you can see in the photo above, we can use all the keys for different applications or, as in the photo, only some of them. Incredibly, each button has an LCD screen behind it , so you can identify each application or macro with images or even GIFs.

In the current model, the macro function is a little more refined. Now it will be easier to assign several tasks to the same key and not only that, but you will be able to queue an unlimited number of actions. The most direct option we can think of is to press a button to open the League of Legends, OBS and the Twitch channel, but the limit is your imagination.

Settings for Elgato Stream Deck

Like the previous version, the Stream Deck XL adapts to the situation we are in, so if we are in After Effects, YouTube or Twitch , the keys will be able to change intelligently.

Corsair certainly does not disappoint us. We believe that this device greatly elevates the options that content creators have, making it a highly recommended factory device.

And if you think you don't need that many buttons, you can also try Stream Deck Mobile, to elgato's mobile app. The difference is that instead of a base price you have to pay a monthly or annual subscription.

Elgato Stream Deck is personalized through its desktop application, which we have to say is quite easy to understand and use. In addition, every so often we have new forays, since the Stream Deck has a development kit that allows companies to easily create their apps for the device.

Should you bet on Elgato ?

We think the answer is quite obvious. If you want to dedicate yourself to making content online , it is highly recommended that you buy this device, since it will help you boost your content and enhance your live shows.

If you're more on the side of content consumers, it may not be a device for you. We are sure you could find other uses for it, but we would already be layering parts of its functions.

In general, it seems to us a good product, which is already on sale. Elgato Stream Deck X L is already on sale for a price of € 250, a fairly accurate price for a device like this.

Before finishing, let us forget: The device comes with a magnetic holder so that it is kept in a diagonal position. With this we will have quick access to the entire panel.
