Stream Deck Mini, 6 Customizable LCD Macro Keys

I did not buy this for streaming, and instead use this for working from home at my desk. Reasons why I enjoy it * Zoom - I was able to program shortcuts and just have a nice little gadget to mute, raise hand, camera on/off, and leave calls. I felt more engaged in the meeting vs using my mouse to move all over the screen and getting distracted by other things going on * Elgato Key Light - I received this as part of a work from home package and at first I wasn't sure if I cared but it ended up being a very useful and needed light source for my needs. Having a simple button at my fingertips made this a nice add. * Pomodoro Timer - I was able to use this to trigger multi-actions. So I had a pomodoro timer turn on and also a white noise track from spotify play at the same time. This allowed me to get my focus work done. * Calendar - I had set up separate buttons specifically to pull up my calendar on a specific area of my screen (used with moom) to have a good glance at my day. I use this feature often since my day is filled with zoom meetings. * World clock - I was able to display a world clock which is useful since I have teams across the world I work with * Spotify - nice to have controls at my finger tips. * App Launcher - it works just like cmd-tab, but I could toggle thru my apps by using a button. So... to be fair, none of this *required* a stream deck, but it definitely did make things a lot more simple, and I really liked this experience that I didn't realize I would benefit from, especially working from home. However, I have decided to return the mini. I was going to buy the 15key one because while the mini does allow for folders and menus, I find that I would be willing to pay a little extra to not have to dig thru menu items. However, before I buy the 15key, I am going to try the mobile app version on a stand first. One day with the mobile version definitely means it is not as tactile (the buttons on the stream deck feel great) but it does provide the same functionality as the 15key at a fraction of the cost. I think this is a great product for those working from home and taking video calls with teams often. This can be programmed to do a lot of things and I feel like I haven't scratched the surface. The mini definitely did everything I mentioned above, but I have the desk space and disposable income to maybe take it a step further. Highly recommend, but not needed. It's like wired vs wireless headphones. Wired was fine, wireless is better.

I've already own a couple of 32-button Stream Deck XL's for several years and really like them. That said, I have a situation on one of my pc's where I wanted the macro functionality on only a few buttons and an XL was overkill with its 32 buttons as well as taking up more desk space that I wanted to give up. The question for me was, would this mini support the functionality I wanted like its big brother? The answer was a resounding YES. As soon as I plugged the mini in, the Elgato Stream Deck software recognized it and all the familiar programming options showed as usual. In short order I had the macro I needed programmed and the button graphics set the way I wanted. The only real differences I've seen so far between the 32-button XL and this 6-button mini are the number of buttons and the price tag. Build quality is exactly the same - excellent. Functionality is as good as the XL. Its compatible with the software. What's not to love? As far as other comments about it sliding around on the desk, there was a clear plastic sticker covering its rubber base. Peeled that off and no sliding. Not even on my glass mouse pad. As long as you don't pound on it like a gaming keyboard, it's not going anywhere. It's NOT a keyboard. It has buttons. Those buttons don't take much effort to push down. They are slower than keys on a gaming keyboard, which should be fine since they were never intended for typing. They are all individual little displays that you can make look like pretty much anything you want within the limitations of how many pixels are available. No more stick on labels or swapping key caps. There is nothing entry level about this mini. It just has fewer buttons than its bigger brothers and cost less. For me it fits a particular niche I had and does so perfectly.

I don't think I'd require a larger size. I was going to try a larger one but it got lost in the mail. I'm not upset staying with this one and I suspect I would've preferred to keep this mini size anyways. This has the perfect form factor for controlling important things on my pc and it's not hard to set up folders if you require more actions. It looks really cool and fits perfectly in my setup without being bothersome. My only gripe is that it doesn't have a detachable USB cord and I don't think the shielding is great on the wire as I was noticing some noise getting into my mic audio once I hooked it up. If I am careful about where it's placed and such I can get that noise to go away for the most part though, just have to keep it away from certain things it seems. Not for certain whether it's a universal issue though.

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.

I have been using alternative controllers for years on my own machines at home, including an eight key Stream Deck+. Our church uses Proclaim! software for slides during the service. I was looking for a better way than the left/right arrow keys since it's easy to hit the wrong key or advance too far and thought this would be a good fix. $53 was pretty expensive just for this, but I went with it because I know it is a quality product, and because there's a profile for Proclaim in the store. We also use LiveProfessor to run our autotune on vocals and thought it would be able to control that over MIDI, but unfortunately MIDI control requires a paid plug-in. The main issue I have is that I had to log in to Elgato to activate the thing and download the free Proclaim plug-in. I get it, no one wants to sell just hardware these days (what with all the investors complaining about leaving money on the table if you don't have a subscription model in your business plan), for this very limited duty device, we really just want a "just works" answer.

The Elgato Stream Deck Mini is a compact and powerful tool that revolutionizes content creation for streamers, video editors, and creative enthusiasts alike.

Nom de l'item à l'achat fait le 04 juin 2019: Elgato 10 Gai9901 Stream Deck Mini contrôleur de création de contenu Live avec 6 personnalisables LCD touches, Noir Prix lors de l'achat en date du 04 juin 2019: 99.99$ Commande reçue le 07 juin 2019 via Amazon Prime. Évaluation générale de 5 étoiles. 2019-06-29 Livraison avec Prime, donc assez rapide. Livraison en 3 jours. Je suis complètement en amour avec Stream Deck. Je ne suis pas un "Streameur", mais un artiste numérique. J'utilise le mini pour mon centre Multimédia (Netflix, Prime Video, VLC, YouTube) branché à ma télé. J'ai tellement adoré la machine que j'ai fini par commander la version XL que j'utilise avec mon système de montage Media Composer d'Avid, Photoshop, After FX, Resolve et plus. Les possibilités avec cette appareil sont illimitées. Je peux développer des macros avec des logiciels externes (comme AutoHotKey, que j'ai découvert grâce aux usagers), des commandes aussi préprogrammées via le logiciel qui est mis à jour au moins une demi-douzaine de fois par année. Pas des mises à jours de corrections de fautes d'orthographes, des VRAIES mises à jour! Des améliorations utiles et parfois même indispenssables. Elgato semble être à l'écoute de ses usagers. Mais ne vous fiez pas qu'à mes commentaires, allez voir sur YouTube, les "reviews", les tutoriaux et autres, les critiques sont assez unanimes, cette machine et son logiciel sont du bonbon. J'ai tellement de plaisir avec mon ordi depuis que j'ai ces petits, mais puissants, gadgets. WoW!! J'ai préféré prendre la garantie prolongée de 4 ans proposée par Asurion sur Amazon, parce que les 1es générations de ces appareils ont reçu des critiques négatives quant à du "flicker", "ghosting" et interférences au niveau des boutons avec le temps. Ce sont quand même de petits écrans. Il semblerait que des améliorations aient été apportées mais pour une quarantaine de dollars, j'ai préféré ne pas prendre de chance. p.s.: J'ai maintenant décidé de toujours introduire mes commentaires par les 5 premières lignes ci-haut et de toujours joindre des photos de l'item. J'ai découvert à mes dépens que certains revendeurs changent carrément le produit affiché à la page de vente mais conservent les commentaires de l'ancien produit. Ce qui induit en erreur, les consommateurs. Grâce à ces premières lignes, les gens qui liront mes commentaires sauront que mon évaluation vise le produit que je décris. Mon souhait est que cette méthode soit contagieuse et que nous soyons beaucoup à procéder de la sorte.

The Stream Deck Mini is ideal for folks who require only minimal programmable macros in their setup. The functionality, build quality and convenience are near identical to the bigger models. With a well integrated store to find macros & profiles, this device will improve your productivity and gaming setup many fold. Plus there's a very well supported online community that can teach you to integrate the deck with just about any software that's out there, while working on Windows, Mac & Linux! Highly recommended.

Cumple con mis expectativas, fácil de configurar y funcionando perfectamente.

daha fazlasına ihtiyaç duymadım. çok yeterli ve kullanışlı
