SAN FRANCISCO, California –– March 23, 2017 — Elgato today announced Stream Deck, a groundbreaking controller for live content on Twitch and YouTube.

A USB 2.0 device about the size of two decks of cards, Stream Deck puts 15 LCD keys at your fingertips, poised to launch up to 210 actions grouped into folders. Featuring software support for numerous popular streaming applications and services, Stream Deck will become available this May for a suggested retail price of $149.95 (US).
