Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 at a glance: 8.0/10 (Great). 15 programmable LCD keys for one-press shortcuts. Price: $149.99. Best for: Streamers and creators who want one-press control of apps, scenes, and meeting shortcuts. Biggest drawback: No audio dial.
Verdict
Stream Deck started as a streamer’s tool, but 15 programmable LCD keys are just as handy for muting meetings, launching apps and firing macros. It’s easy to set up and reasonably priced. If you don’t already have workflows worth automating, it can be overkill.

Overview
Elgato now sells the 15-key model as the “Stream Deck — OG 15-Key Control Pad” for $149.99, with Classic (membrane) or Scissor key options at the same price. Each key is a small customizable LCD; the stand is magnetic and removable; faceplates are swappable and it works with Elgato’s Network Dock.
Officially it supports Windows and macOS over USB, measures 118 × 84 × 25 mm without its stand, and weighs 270 g with it.
Tom’s Hardware’s review dates from 2021, but the hardware hasn’t changed: it found it easy to use and a strong macro pad at a reasonable price, though owners of the original Stream Deck needn’t upgrade.
