Perfect for my use.
I've already own a couple of 32-button Stream Deck XL's for several years and really like them.That said, I have a situation on one of my pc's where I wanted the macro functionality on only a few buttons and an XL was overkill with its 32 buttons as well as taking up more desk space that I wanted to give up. The question for me was, would this mini support the functionality I wanted like its big brother?The answer was a resounding YES. As soon as I plugged the mini in, the Elgato Stream Deck software recognized it and all the familiar programming options showed as usual. In short order I had the macro I needed programmed and the button graphics set the way I wanted.The only real differences I've seen so far between the 32-button XL and this 6-button mini are the number of buttons and the price tag. Build quality is exactly the same - excellent. Functionality is as good as the XL. Its compatible with the software. What's not to love?As far as other comments about it sliding around on the desk, there was a clear plastic sticker covering its rubber base. Peeled that off and no sliding. Not even on my glass mouse pad.As long as you don't pound on it like a gaming keyboard, it's not going anywhere. It's NOT a keyboard. It has buttons. Those buttons don't take much effort to push down. They are slower than keys on a gaming keyboard, which should be fine since they were never intended for typing. They are all individual little displays that you can make look like pretty much anything you want within the limitations of how many pixels are available. No more stick on labels or swapping key caps.There is nothing entry level about this mini. It just has fewer buttons than its bigger brothers and cost less. For me it fits a particular niche I had and does so perfectly.Ver másVer menos
