The keys can be lit nice, and bright, once you've assigned the brightness keys

nope, doesn't matter, I use this to make tons of cool shortcuts and hot keys

Help working faster on OBS / streaming, as a short cut for access folder, program and files and hot keys for photoshop, premier and even painttoolSAI

My 15 year old Mad Catz Cyborg Keyboard has more hot keys then this brand new hot device

There are so many effects within each you can easily smash a new key to open up 14 new combinations of hot keys

Other than that the keys can get some burn in if you leave it running to long

15 keys are just not enough

Press the Welcome key that is pre-loaded and you are on the El Gato Welcome page on their website

Elgato Stream Deck - Live Content Creation Controller with 15 customizable LCD keys, adjustable stand, for Windows 10 and macOS 10.11 or later

For example, I was hoping for a full 14 key layout for Premier, some of the keys within the layout are great to do quick hot keys, using hot keys in combination with other programs and folders, like bridge within so you don't have to use the back key, then folders dedicated to cuts, effects, color correction, etc

Unlike the competition, this one has amazing LCD keys while the others are limited to backlit keys

the key will light up or dim depending on whether its activated or not.

It can only switch scenes or turn sources on or off, which is great but you can't start or stop stream or recordings or switch profiles without assigning them custom made hot keys

Also, the keys are like tiny video screens, showing what each function is, depending on configurations

I do like how quiet the keys are when pressed

Majority of the hot keys on this are for a capture card that Elgato makes, if you don't have this device then the majority of the keys/commands are useless

If you’re trying to add creativeness and fun to your stream with fast keys then this is for you
