Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 (White)

Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 White

The Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 in white is a studio controller with 15 LCD keys, each of which can trigger an action, a sequence of actions, or a folder full of further actions, and each of which displays its own icon so you can see what it does before you press it. It was designed for live streamers, but the same one-touch control now runs video editing suites, live presentations, smart lighting and everyday desktop work. This is the white finish, model 10GBA9911, with an interchangeable faceplate and a detachable stand.

Fifteen keys, effectively unlimited actions

A single key press can start a stream, switch a scene, mute a microphone, play a sound effect and post a message, in sequence, because multi-actions chain commands across different applications into one touch. Keys can also open folders, which nest further pages of actions under one key, so 15 physical keys organise hundreds of commands without memorising keyboard shortcuts. Every key is a small LCD screen: assign icons from the built-in library, download icon packs, or make your own, and the key shows the state of what it controls, such as whether the microphone is live or which scene is active. That visual confirmation is what makes the device reliable in a live moment.

Plugins and smart profiles

The Stream Deck software is configured by dragging actions onto keys. Plugins from the Stream Deck Store connect it to streaming and production tools including OBS, Twitch, YouTube, Discord, Spotify and Philips Hue lighting, alongside Elgato’s own capture and audio software, and new plugins appear regularly. Hotkey actions also streamline editing, music production and photography workflows in any application. Smart profiles complete the picture: the deck detects which application is in focus and loads the matching key layout automatically, so the editing profile appears in the editor and the streaming profile appears in the streaming software, with no manual switching.

Make it yours, physically

The MK.2 faceplate is removable and interchangeable, so the controller can be restyled with alternative faceplate designs or customised directly, and custom icons and screensavers complete the personalisation. The white body suits bright desk setups where the black version would look heavy. The detachable stand sets a comfortable working angle, and the unit weighs 145 g without the stand.

Setup and requirements

Connection is wired over USB 2.0 using the detachable USB-C to USB-A cable supplied, 150 cm long, which also powers the unit. System requirements are Windows 10 64-bit or macOS 10.13 or newer. In the box are the Stream Deck MK.2, the desktop stand, the USB-C cable and a quick start guide. Beyond streaming, the same hardware serves presenters advancing slides and media, teachers running online classes, producers triggering samples, and office users automating repetitive application tasks.

Choose the Stream Deck MK.2 if your work involves repeating the same multi-step actions in software all day, or performing them live where a mistake is public. Fifteen labelled, state-aware keys turn those sequences into single, dependable presses, and the white interchangeable-faceplate design looks at home doing it.
