The Elgato Stream Deck Plus is the next generation of the Stream Deck, adding four touch strip encoders alongside the eight LCD buttons — a fundamentally new control paradigm that allows gradual adjustments (volume, brightness, camera exposure, video timeline position) with a satisfying physical rotary encoder that LCD-only devices cannot replicate. The dynamic display touchscreen strip between the buttons and encoders provides context-sensitive information readout. The Plus is the Stream Deck for creators who have outgrown the MK.2's limitations.
