Elgato is unveiling Stream Deck modules, the updated MK.2 Stream Deck, and innovative Virtual Stream Deck software. Essentially, the Elgato Stream Deck was initially designed for streamers, providing a swift method to manage on-screen stream components without needing to pause your broadcast by switching to another application. By assigning various apps, shortcuts, and commands to a series of programmable buttons on its interface, you can quickly perform tasks like altering stream scenes or directing your audience to another creator’s stream during a raid. However, it seems that this concept has numerous applications beyond just streaming.
Elgato’s developer-focused platform has always enabled users to create virtually any function for their Stream Deck. However, they aim to significantly enhance this user experience with their latest unveilings at Computex, an annual tech event held in Taipei, Taiwan.
Additionally, a Network Dock priced at $79.99 for the Stream Deck, when connected, enables you to link a Stream Deck device to any location with a network port. This expands its applications, making it suitable for use in various scenarios such as smart home configurations and other creative projects.
The updated MK.2 Stream Deck, priced at $149.99, introduces a fresh take on functionality. If you’ve had the pleasure of using a Stream Deck before (I personally use my six-key version to manage Spotify and switch audio devices), you’re familiar with the somewhat spongy keys. Although they’re not designed for typing, it can be challenging to determine whether one of those keys has been activated due to their softness. However, in the new MK.2 model, this issue seems to have been addressed for a smoother user experience.
The updated MK.2 model replaces the membrane beneath its keys with scissor switches, similar to those used on many low-profile keyboards like laptops. Elgato claims this change will offer improved speed and accuracy, and could open up possibilities for unique Stream Deck interactions reminiscent of typing. It’s not a stretch to imagine that these changes might lead Elgato towards creating a full keyboard in the future, much like the innovative Optimus Keyboard with a screen on every key.
To summarize, Elgato is planning to release a desktop version of their Stream Deck app, similar to their mobile counterpart. This new software will enable users with a physical Stream Deck to transform their phone or tablet into a virtual one. Initially, the software will be accessible only to those who own a physical Stream Deck. It will come packaged with the Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless SE mouse and Corsair Xenon Edge touchscreenthe Stream Deck 7.0 beta needs one of these devices for its VSD feature to work. In contrast to the mobile version, features like custom layouts and virtual faceplates won’t require a paid subscription. Elgato plans to expand the compatibility of this software with more hardware in the future. Additionally, it is highly unlikely that anyone will find a way to emulate owning a Stream Deck to make the software accessible to those without one. Absolutely not possible.
