Revolutionizing Content Creation with Stream Deck Everywhere

At Computex, Elgato has taken the tech world by storm with its groundbreaking "Stream Deck Everywhere" initiative. This new strategy introduces a virtual Stream Deck for PCs, along with an innovative ethernet dock and modular keys that can be integrated into various devices. Elgato's general manager, Julian Fest, emphasized, "Stream Deck isn’t just a device—it’s a platform," opening gateways for developers, DIY enthusiasts, and manufacturers alike.

Ready-Made Solutions for Innovators

Say goodbye to the hassle of dismantling consumer products! The new Stream Deck Modules come in 6-, 15-, and 32-key formats, perfectly designed for hobbyists and creators who want to blend functionality into custom hardware projects. The aluminum chassis allows for seamless incorporation into everything from machines to furniture, with the potential to build a whimsical 1,262-key configuration!

Affordable Pricing for All Creators

These modules are now available starting at just $49.99 for the six-key version, $129.99 for the fifteen-key, and $199.99 for thirty-two keys. Plus, bulk discounts are on the table, making it even easier for tech creators to get their hands on this powerful tool.

Enhanced Precision with Scissor Switches

Elgato has also upgraded its MK.2 Stream Deck with scissor-style switches, promising faster response times and greater accuracy. Priced at $149.99, this version will hit the shelves in about two weeks, transforming the user experience into one that’s more akin to traditional keyboards. No more guessing if you’ve clicked the right button!

Potential Path to a Stream Deck Keyboard?

The idea of a full LCD-key-based keyboard is tantalizing. Elgato’s Eggebrecht hinted at past explorations, remarking, "We’re getting closer to a keyboard feeling with Stream Deck Scissor Keys." The possibilities for expansive typing capabilities are on the horizon!

Introducing the Virtual Stream Deck

Elgato is also launching a Virtual Stream Deck (VSD) for desktop users. This software-only version provides a customizable macro menu that can be accessed anytime via dedicated hotkeys. Initially available to users of select Corsair devices and the Stream Deck, the VSD will eventually reach broader audiences.

Flexible Features with a New Dock

Pushing the boundaries even further, Elgato has introduced a $79.99 network dock accessory that supports power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing unmatched flexibility to place buttons wherever there's a network connection. Shipments of this innovative dock will begin in August.
