Press Release
Elgato is expanding the Stream Deck ecosystem in exciting new directions, including its expansion to the Steam Deck ecosystem under its new “Stream Deck Everywhere” strategy, aimed at bringing powerful, customizable control to more users and workflows than ever before. With this, Stream Deck is no longer just a device but a platform.
Stream Deck has evolved from a creator-focused tool into a versatile platform for customizable workflows across various industries. With new modular hardware, open documentation, and integrated software, Elgato is redefining control, making it flexible, scalable, and adaptable beyond the desktop for creators, professionals, and businesses alike.
Stream Deck Modules: DIY and integration-ready
First up is Stream Deck Module, a barebones version of the lauded consumer product that enables hobbyists, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers to embed the iconic technology in their projects, instead of allocating months or even years to developing a control interface from scratch. Available in 6, 15, and 32-key variations, the module comes housed in a durable aluminium chassis that’s ready to drop straight into a custom mount, machine, or product.
Like its retail counterparts, Stream Deck Module is compatible with Stream Deck software and third-party apps, while comprehensive documentation removes the guesswork for makers and manufacturers to bring their big ideas to life—faster, smarter, and without compromise.
Network Dock for Stream Deck: Untethered control
Elgato’s new Network Dock unlocks wired Ethernet connectivity for Stream Deck devices, empowering users to extend their control surface beyond the desktop to custom installations, remote stations, and more. Whether mounted to a desk or slotted into Stream Deck XL’s stand, the dock supports both PoE and non-PoE networks, while IP configuration is easily handled directly on-device. It’s another major step toward unlocking Stream Deck’s full potential—anywhere it is needed.
Virtual Stream Deck
Perhaps the most transformative of all, Virtual Stream Deck (VSD) is a software-only version of Stream Deck that brings powerful, customizable control to any screen. Users can create fully interactive control pads anywhere on their desktop—fixed in place for quick access or summoned with a mouse click or hotkey. It makes Stream Deck more accessible than ever, putting Elgato’s iconic platform in every corner of a user’s workspace. Initially launching exclusively for owners of Stream Deck hardware and select Corsair peripherals, like the Xeneon Edge and the Scimitar Elite WE SE Mouse, Virtual Stream Deck will soon roll out to more devices, unlocking intelligent control across touchscreens, mice, keyboards, and beyond.
Scissor Keys Upgrade
Rounding out the announcements is a scissor-switch key variant of Stream Deck MK.2, a faster, crisper alternative to the iconic membrane design. With shorter travel and sharper actuation, these new switches offer enhanced speed and precision for high-frequency tasks and quick hands. The tighter, more responsive feel also lends itself to typing-style interactions, paving the way for new use cases that benefit from rapid, multi-layered input and control.
