STREAM DECK SOFTWARE

You can download the Stream Deck Software directly from the Elgato support page as seen above.

Also if you can't find an icon that suits your needs from all the available ones you can create your very own from the key creator page seen above (very easy process although we'd prefer a software solution for people who may not have internet access at some point).

Using the software is very easy so on the left you have the 6 available LCD keys and on the right a scrolling menu with several actions/commands (67 plus sub-commands at the moment of this review - elgato may add others later on).

For example you can drag and drop the brightness control for the keys, open a specific website, post a tweet (you will need to enter your Twitter account information to do that however), open files/folders and launch programs or you can simply use them as multimedia keys.

Since the keys are basically small LCD screens they can also display colors (and yes the Stream Deck Mini looks really nice when on).

One thing we liked was that in case you wrongly configure one of the keys (for example you point to a file that is no longer available) and you press it an exclamation mark (warning) pops up to inform you of that.
