Our Verdict

The Elgato Stream Deck + combines 8 LCD keys with 4 rotary dials and a touch strip — the defining hardware addition over the standard MK.2. The dials map directly to audio mixer controls in Elgato's Wave Link software, letting creators adjust microphone gain, headphone volume, and source mix levels without leaving the stream. At $159.99 with 3,751 reviews at 4.6 stars, it has the largest review base in this category. The touch strip adds swipe gestures for timeline scrubbing in video editing tools. Trade-off: 8 keys versus the MK.2's 15 means fewer button shortcuts unless you use page layers. For streamers who use a Wave microphone or any audio interface and want physical volume control during a broadcast, the Stream Deck + is the more functional device. Pure macro and shortcut users should stay with the MK.2.
