Elgato Stream Deck Mini – Control Zoom, Teams, PowerPoint, MS Office and More, Boost Productivity with Seamless Integration for Daily Apps, Set Up Shortcuts Easily, Compatible with Mac and PC

Great Little MIni
I am not a streamer. I am a gamer, but this is mostly used for Photoshop and basic PC functions. Overall, it was awesome. It did exactly what it claims to do. And, it did a lot more.At first, I was bummed because if you add pages, a button for Next Page and Previous are needed to navigate. I thought it was going to take up two buttons on the Mini. Thankfully, you can set up a Key Logic button. Key Logic buttons add the ability to single, double tap, or hold to activate different functions. So, I was able to use the single tap to change page, double tap to launch a program, or hold to change a profile. No button seems wasted.As a digital artist, I love to customize any thing that has some kind of screen and can display images. Stream Decks support both still images and GIFs. I have had so much fun creating my own icons and GIFs to use on the buttons.One major star of the whole Stream Deck experience is the software. The software is easy to understand and use. Everything is mostly drag and drop onto the preview layout and then selecting a few options. Changing icons is as easy as dropping a file on the preview icon, and it will update instantly on your Stream Deck.I ended up returning it and getting the 15-Key version because using the Mini showed me what a Stream Deck can really do. I ended up realizing that I wanted more face keys. This is the only caution I have for the Mini.

Great for my multi PC setup, showing status and input to secondary PCs
This made my multi PC setup even easier to use. I primarily use this to manage Discord and it integrates flawlessly with Discord. I am able to mute, enter/leave channels and do other things even if my KVM is switched to a different PC. The LED screens behind the buttons also let me know the status of the other PC even if my monitor is switched to a different one. I can tell if I am muted or not and if I am in the channel or not based on the image in the LCD button/screen. They are a bit expensive but for me it solves a problem nothing else can and totally worth it.

A great product. Just one complaint
Overall it works great and does the job. The buttons on it are smooth and feel nice to press. I just have one complaint, the colors are not as vibrant on the stream deck. They come off as being a bit washed out but overall it doesn’t bother me too much just letting you guys know before you make your decisions.

Gekocht voor de fun, maar je kan bijvoorbeeld ook allerlei informatie vanuit HWinfo inladen dus hoe snel draaien je fans, hoe warm is je CPU temperatuur etc. Screensavers mogelijk, snelkoppelingen naar je favouriete sites, custom icoontjes etc. Handige en intuitieve software ook!

I don’t stream but I got this product due to the convince it brings. I use it for daily tasks and it is really useful for particular people and specific use cases. I will outline some of my use cases in detail for people who might want it for the same application. Some of these features have to be enables by enabling the plugins that are extra and not enabled by default.Headphones and Mics:I use it to switch between headphones and microphones. The stream deck is great as it allows you to switch between microphones and playback devices. For example if I want to use one pair of headphones and want to switch my playback to that then i can by setting a key to do that functionality. However if i want to switch back or switch to another pair i can then click a button. But you have switch the mic and the playback separately. So for example say your headphones have a mic in them and you want to use a separate mic you can do that by selecting the mic you want through the stream deck instead of going through all the settings and then changing that one to default. For example you can have Headphone1 Mic and Headphones2 Mic and Webcam Mic as buttons and switch between them. Same situation with headphones. So that makes it really convenient as it changes the default one and then that means software’s will automatically change to.Voicemod:This is a cool little extra feature that was added my Elgato to the stream deck and it is for a little fun. As mentioned before you can set a button to change to the voice mod output however it wont change the mic selected on the software you have to change that manually. You can do funny things like change your voice and censor words with a beep button and you can pick random voices but you if you want a particular one you have to buy the pro version. You can also hear yourself and can turn on and off through the elgato stream deck which is really convenient.Zoom:The elgato stream deck can be used in zoom calls and be used for a full list of things that i will list:Mute toggle, Video Toggle, Share Toggle, Focus, Leave Meeting, Cloud Record Toggle, Local record Toggle, Ask all to Unmute, Mute all Participants, Custom Shortcut. This is good for zoom calls an there is not much to add as it works seamlessly.YouTube:You can use it to control YouTube. I don’t use it for this however it does allow you to chat a message through a click of a button and you also have another option of viewers. That is all you can do with YouTube as of default.Mute and Unmute:When in any call or meeting you can use the elgato stream deck to mute and unmute and it will work with any program and call because it mutes the mics internally and not through that software so if you are in 2 calls and want to mute on one then you cant through this unless that other one is a zoom call, that is where you can mute using the zoom mute button that is enables through the elgato stream deck.Games:This is useful for games as you can function it to do specific binds or to do things in games instead of binding things to using keyboard binds. It is not built to control games exactly but is useful and you have to find your own use in what games you play and what you want it for. This is too universal to gives any examples on.OBS:Whatever you could image you can do on here. You can change scenes. You can also mute your mic and also desktop audio. There are so many options that there is no limit here and you can do anything you can image through obs. There are YouTube videos that cover all the combinations as it would take too long to cover in a minor review.Twitter:You can tweet a specific tweet on that you have binded to a button and will automatically do that. This is mainly towards streams but you can bind anything you want here really. Also you can change name on here to.System:This is what you would expect that this should be able to do like open a website, hotkey switch, act as a hotkey, open something like a program, type text, and uses as multimedia controller.Spotify:There is a plugin that you can enable that allows you integrate and control Spotify from your stream deck.Lighting:You can control Philips hue with this as there is a plug in that can be enables and controls Philips hue lights and same with corsair icue.Build:The build of the elgato stream deck is great and it does not come with a stand but it does have a rubber button to stop it from being pushed back then being uses however it can be a bit annoying but nothing major. Also when you lock your computer you can keep any screen saver on the stream deck.In conclusion, there are a lot more functions that one can use this for streamers and non streamers.

Great gadgets useful for many things
