If you’re looking for a simple way to streamline your workflow, the Elgato Stream Deck Plus is a handy productivity tool for automating everyday tasks. Right now, it’s on sale for $159.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo, which is its best price to date.
Like the standard Stream Deck, the Stream Deck Plus comes with eight programmable keys you can use to automate tasks, such as muting yourself on a video call or turning off smart lights. The Plus, however, adds more customizability with four rotary dials that let you make fine adjustments, like changing the volume for a specific app.

Where to Buy:
The dials are especially useful for controlling music. With a single dial, you skip forward or backward through a Spotify playlist, then press it to pause or play. On a standard Stream Deck, you’d need multiple buttons to do the same thing. Elgato also includes “Dial Stacks,” which let each dial handle multiple functions you can cycle through. A slim touchscreen above the dials shows what each control is currently assigned to and lets you swipe between different pages within a profile. And while the touchscreen itself can’t trigger plug-ins like the regular buttons, Elgato’s since released software updates that let you assign up to three standard button or plugin actions to each dial, making the Stream Deck Plus far more useful than it was at launch.
It’s great to see the Stream Deck Plus on sale at such a fantastic price! This could be a game changer for anyone looking to enhance their workflow. Thanks for sharing the update!
Absolutely! The Stream Deck Plus really does enhance productivity, especially for content creators. Its customizable buttons can make switching between tasks so much smoother, which is a big plus for live streaming or video editing.
