The problem
Your workflow is slow because:
too many shortcuts to remember
constant switching between apps
repetitive actions (editing, streaming, etc.)
Even simple tasks take multiple clicks.
What it actually does
This is basically a physical shortcut controller.
It gives you 15 customizable LCD keys that can:
launch apps
control OBS scenes
mute mic / adjust audio
trigger macros
automate multi-step actions
Each key is a mini screen â so icons change depending on what you assign.
Our experience (realistic expectations)
What actually feels great
⢠saves a lot of time once configured
⢠reduces keyboard shortcuts completely
⢠super satisfying to use (this matters more than expected)
⢠integrates with tons of apps
⢠profiles switch automatically between apps
This is where it shines:
đ workflow automation + speed
What people donât tell you
â ď¸ Limited keys (15)
power users may want more (XL version)
The reality
This is not just a gadget.
Itâs a tool.
If you invest time â huge productivity boost
If you donât â it sits on your desk unused
Pros⢠massive workflow speed boost | Cons

Alternatives (quick positioning)
Elgato Stream Deck Mini â cheaper, fewer keys
Elgato Stream Deck XL â more keys, more power
Elgato Stream Deck + â adds dials & touchscreen
Final verdict
This is one of those rare products that:
đ actually changes how you use your computer
But only if you use it properly.
For creators, editors, streamers â itâs almost a must-have.
For casual users â itâs unnecessary.
â Worth it â if you care about efficiency and workflow
