The Elgato Stream Deck isn't an essential tool for every PC gamer, but it's a legitimately useful and fun shortcut panel for consistent, serious streamers who want to enhance and streamline their broadcasts...
Makes streaming easier and more accessible, Costs a fraction of professional-grade video switchers, Software is intuitive and easy to set up
USB cable sticks straight out the top, and is non-removable/replaceable, No way for icons to change/update based on current state, Software is finicky and crashes often

Customisable/versatile, Easy to use, Good build quality
Expensive, An unnecessary luxury for amateur streamers, Very short USB 2.0 cable
If you happen to stream a lot and reckon you can expand the Stream Deck's functionality outside of streaming, then you should certainly consider this. However, don't sweat it if you can't justify spending so much money on something you can do with a few m...
