The Most Concise Elgato Stream Deck Plus Review On The Internet

[00:00] this is the new Elgato stream deck and

[00:01] I'm going to try to review this in 5

[00:02] minutes to help you decide if you should

[00:04] get one as a streamer or content creator

[00:06] let's do

[00:07] this starting off with the pros it comes

[00:10] in black or white to fit different

[00:11] setups and is made of a robust plastic

[00:13] in a matte finish that is textured

[00:15] unlike old stream Decks that only have

[00:17] buttons basic you have three different

[00:18] options to interact with this device you

[00:20] get a buttons that are larger than older

[00:22] stream decks Flex that can be mapped to

[00:24] whatever function you want with a

[00:25] display that you can customize with an

[00:27] icon or drift to help you remember what

[00:29] you mapped it two bring on the memes you

[00:32] get four knobs that are nural and grippy

[00:33] that rotate with steps but no heart

[00:36] stops and no heart feelings as well as a

[00:38] tactile click these are also

[00:40] interchangeable for a very hashtag cheap

[00:41] buy $20 if you want to be so extra you

[00:44] got to pay extra they introduce D

[00:46] stacking which allows you to click and

[00:47] cycle between multiple actions in the

[00:48] stack per dll or KN for every action the

[00:51] Dow works together with the touch strip

[00:52] to give you four inputs rotate to the

[00:54] left rotate to the right tapping touch

[00:56] strip tap and hold touch strip the touch

[00:58] strip is merried to the D so you can't

[01:00] use them independently but it does allow

[01:02] you to swipe between Pages without

[01:03] having to sacrifice a button for the

[01:05] next page function like your older decks

[01:08] stream decks were initially designed for

[01:10] streaming duh but I see it being useful

[01:13] for a variety of different purposes for

[01:15] instance I uses stream deck plus to

[01:17] control all my devices in this talking

[01:18] headset and this is how I have it set up

[01:20] for the buttons I have shortcut for

[01:22] things like color temperature presets

[01:23] for my Elgato key lights favorite IQ

[01:26] profiles for switching up my background

[01:27] opening apps or websites like YouTube

[01:29] epidemic music premium Pro Da Vinci

[01:31] resolve and such and finally for

[01:33] switching audio outputs between my

[01:34] gaming headset headphones and speakers

[01:37] as well as my audio inputs between my

[01:39] headset mic and sm7b you need to install

[01:41] the audio switcher plugin from the

[01:43] Elgato marketplace with the knobs I have

[01:45] lighting controls on knob one for

[01:46] adjusting brightness and color

[01:48] temperature on my Elgato lights camera

[01:50] controls on knob two for changing ISO

[01:52] white balance and such on my Elgato face

[01:54] cams media controls on knob 3 for music

[01:56] and videos and volume controls on knob

[01:58] four for my audio IM inputs and outputs

[02:00] as well as game Discord and system

[02:02] sounds I group all these in different

[02:04] pages based on their use cases

[02:06] personally as a creative myself I also

[02:08] program these knobs to quickly adjust

[02:10] brush sizes in Photoshop or scrub

[02:12] through my timeline in premium Pro there

[02:13] are even plugins like Color Picker which

[02:15] can help you get the hex code for

[02:17] anything on your screen and copy the

[02:19] value to your clipboard they do take a

[02:21] little while to set up but can

[02:22] definitely improve your workflow if you

[02:24] spend the extra effort with this new

[02:26] stream plus you also get wavelink and

[02:27] you don't even have to buy an Elgato mic

[02:29] just plug in whatever old USB M you got

[02:31] from your dodgy uncle and it should work

[02:35] you can use vsd plugins that you already

[02:37] have to add denoising compression

[02:39] limiters EQ and whatnot to make your

[02:41] voice sound awesome without fixing it in

[02:43] post of course your voice also cannot be

[02:44] too unique like hi I'm Mickey that one

[02:47] cannot save already for those who are

[02:49] new to this headit to the official

[02:51] website for support plugins and profile

[02:53] packs that should be enough to get you

[02:55] started moving on to the cons straight

[02:57] off the bat the buns are the same as the

[02:59] previous decks many call them mushy hot

[03:02] take I don't find them mushy but I do

[03:03] find them a little weird like if you try

[03:06] to press it here on the corner you get a

[03:08] bit of a tactile click but it doesn't

[03:09] feel completely pressed down and if you

[03:11] press it in the middle you'll feel a

[03:13] slightly off half click hard to explain

[03:16] but leave a comment down below if you

[03:17] know what I mean also the base is

[03:19] nonadjustable the angle stand fix you

[03:21] need to unscrew the base at the bottom

[03:23] to even make it lie flat kind of a Miss

[03:25] opportunity in my opinion finally we

[03:28] have the M which is is the limited

[03:30] customization you can only change the

[03:32] knobs the plates are not removable

[03:34] unlike previous stream decks and while

[03:35] you can change the background of your

[03:37] touch strip it doesn't support animated

[03:38] wallpapers looking at my PC you know I

[03:41] cannot live without wallpaper engine

[03:43] right like that how the twin Z also

[03:45] while being very customizable there are

[03:47] still limitations to the controls for

[03:49] example buttons and Dows are limited to

[03:51] their own categories you cannot add

[03:52] button or key functions to the Dow

[03:54] button and vice versa here's a quick

[03:56] recap of the pros mass and cons of the

[03:58] stream deck Plus

[04:03] hey done reading faster I got a video to

[04:06] finish all in all the stream that plus

[04:08] is definitely a plus with some very

[04:11] minor quirks I like how compact it is

[04:13] given how functional it can be not only

[04:15] for streamers but whoever wants to

[04:16] improve their workflow also it just

[04:18] looks cool on my desk and sometimes it's

[04:20] good enough reason for me to whip up my

[04:22] wallet but because of elae I to make

[04:23] this entire video review to justify my

[04:25] purchase if you find this video helpful
