Stream Deck Compatibility

I’ve been thinking about getting a stream deck for a while and I'm finally gonna pull the trigger. But I don’t want one that’s not compatible with BTT.

I assumed any Elgato stream deck is compatible but I realized I don’t actually know that lol. Is that true? If not, is there a list anywhere?

I think there are only Elgato Stream Decks :wink:
AFAIK they are all compatible with BTT - the simple ones with just buttons work best. So you‘d just need to decide on the size you want.

Yeah technically lol. But their are a ton of knock of brands out there that call themselves stream decks lol. But alright nice. Thanks, Andreas.

For what it is worth, I have both a StreamDeck+ and a StreamDeck Neo.
I’m very happy with the StreamDeck+. The knobs are amazingly useful, a bit like a 1-D mouse. Depending on the active app, I use them for navigation between tabs and/or windows, within-document navigation, pan/zoom, in addition to the obvious volume control.

I bought the Neo when I was traveling a lot and didn’t want the extra weight/size of the SD+ (also I was afraid that the knobs might get damaged). The Neo is useful, but because it has few buttons, you’ll want to set up BTT so that the Neo touch points change what buttons are active. I have not been able to get the Infobar on the Neo to do anything useful when using full BTT control mode.

I do not recommend the SD mini. You only get 6 buttons, and if you try to use multiple pages, then you will effectively lose at least one and maybe two buttons to pagination control.

One more piece of advice: Do not be seduced by the Elgato software. Don’t bother to even look at it. Jump immediately to BTT “full control”. You won’t be sorry.
