Razer Stream Controller: All-In-One Keypad for Streaming - 12 Haptic Switchblade Keys - 6 Tactile Analog Dials - 8 Programmable Buttons - Designed for PC & Mac Compatibility

This is a great visual/tactile macro pad that is marketed to streamers but can be used to control many applications through custom shortcuts and commands. It vibrates when you press the buttons, the dials are responsive and respond to presses. The screen is full color and shows custom images set up in the app. And it is highly customizable - see below. Couple of warnings: It doesn't ship with all of the capabilities shown in the product image for this page, but you can customize it to add them after the fact. Note that after installing the software, it will prompt you to download the 6.0.1 update, but DO NOT UPGRADE. The latest software has lots of problems, including being unable to install plugins, which really renders it useless. I had to uninstall it, go to the loupedeck website, click Downloads, and select the 5.9.1 version. It'll seem a bit sparse at first, but you can work to make it yours. As far as capabilities, you can download plugins for many programs like PowerTools or SoundController. But for situations not already covered by plugins, the customization piece really helps. You can add custom "Dial Adjustments" for things like switching desktops and browser tabs. You can add an entire panel to run custom "Keyboard Shortcuts" for your favorite text/art/code editor or game. The icons can come from their icon pack downloads or pick from images you have downloaded or taken from screenshots from your app. It can open whatever application you want, pull up a webpage, and even run macros. It's great if you want to tinker with it, but expect to spend an afternoon or two getting it all set up. You'll be rewarded for the effort.

I'm using this device for architectural design and it's working great. It's a fantastic device. However, two things to keep in mind: First, it's recommended that you install the older version of the driver as posted on the Loopdeck website. Installing the newer version may not work properly. Second, older versions of Loopdeck conflict with Logitech drivers, so you'll need to uninstall them to use Loopdeck. Your device may behave differently than I described, so please test various possibilities.

This product was the best investment. If you create content, stream, edit, or multitask at your desk, this saves time and mental energy. The setup was surprisingly smooth. Plug it in, download software. The customizable buttons, dials, and touch controls that make you feel like a tech wizard. The build quality is solid and premium. The buttons have a satisfying click, the dials are smooth, and the touchscreen is responsive and bright. Where this shines is customization. You can map shortcuts, macros, app controls, audio levels, scene changes, basically anything. I’ve got one dial for volume, another for scrolling timelines, buttons for muting, launching apps, and switching scenes. It’s a productivity booster disguised as a streamer toy.

This thing is pretty awesome and works like a charm once you get it all set up. The build quality is seriously top-notch. My streams have been way smoother now. Just a heads-up, the software can be a little sluggish sometimes, but it's not a dealbreaker. Overall, a really great purchase for any streamer.

Promised the world, delivered peanuts. The software is crippling to the device. I'm a graphic designer and music producer by trade. I use also everyday programs and have found that this is NOT suitable for anything other than people looking to dabble in "streaming" hobbies. The SOFTWARE will make you want to return this product within days. I've been messing with this mucked-up software for a few days now and it's evident that this will take weeks to customize based on how SLOW the interface is. With that high quality hardware ships software that renders the hardware useless. Stray away, El Gato is overpriced and lacking features professionals need, not sure what to tell you at this point other than good luck and hopefully someone takes this market seriously soon. The price point on these is still too high for how terrible the software is. People work extremely hard for their money. This can leave a bad taste in your mouth (and your wallet) YUCK!

Easy to install. Tricky to setup the gui could be more intuitive though

the device is great but the software is too clunky I want to return the item

Aussi complex à programmer comme à retourner ! Au Luxembourg c'est pas possible de retourner articles aux USA à cause des douanes !!!

been using this unit for several weeks, it's utility for those of use who don't do gaming content, I've found it's use in DAW to be phenomenal, recommended to any non-gamer who does youtube content or home recording.

He estado usando este producto durante un corto tiempo y puedo decir con certeza que es una herramienta excelente para aquellos que se dedican a la edición, ya sean diseñadores gráficos, fotógrafos, editores de video o incluso streamers. La versatilidad y personalización que ofrece son impresionantes. Se pueden configurar una infinidad de ventanas adicionales, sin incluir los perfiles para especificos usos. Además, permite ocultar funciones o agregar iconos que redirigen a ciertas pestañas, lo cual es extremadamente ágil. Las posibilidades de configuración son casi ilimitadas y pueden ahorrar muchísimo tiempo. Puedes crear atajos tanto para los mismos shortcuts de los programas como para redireccionar a aplicaciones, archivos, y páginas web específicas, incluso con diferentes cuentas. Personalmente, lo utilizo con Illustrator, Premiere, Blender y varias funciones del sistema. También he creado atajos personalizados para mis diferentes cuentas de Gmail y aplicaciones de la misma. El único inconveniente que he encontrado es un problema de actualización o compatibilidad con Photoshop de Adobe. Sin embargo, con un poco de paciencia para crear atajos propios, se puede solucionar fácilmente y hacer que funcione perfectamente con este programa. Con el resto de los programas no he tenido ningún problema. Aunque me ha facilitado mucho el proceso durante el desarrollo de proyectos, aún no le he sacado el 100% del provecho que promete el producto. Solo me hace falta investigar más, pero en Internet sí está la posibilidad de encontrar soluciones o tutoriales correspondientes para el uso del Stream Controller. En resumen, recomiendo encarecidamente este producto para cualquier persona que busque mejorar su flujo de trabajo en edición y streaming. Las funciones y configuraciones que ofrece lo hacen una herramienta imprescindible.
