Elgato Stream Deck MK.2
My stream deck pick: Elgato Stream Deck MK.2, rated 3 out of 3 (true best in slot).

1/2
A true best in slot. There is no real alternative to this, and I don't think anyone could make a better version in the relative near future.
Why it's here
By Emiliano · Revised Oct 2026Mute, scenes, shortcuts I was tired of remembering. Real buttons. The Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 earns desk space without me being a full-time streamer. I use it every day, so it isn't a costume. Keys are clear. Software stays out of the way once it's set. A keyboard macro hides in a chord I forget. This sits next to the keyboard where I can see it.

“Touch keys plus physical dials make it better for creative apps and live mixing than a pure LCD-button deck. Software polish still trails Elgato’s ecosystem, so Almost BIS for streaming desks.”
