Amazon Prime Day has just begun, and Elgato is already offering great deals. Prime subscribers can get A limited edition atomic purple version of the Elgato Stream Deck MK. 2 $124.99 at Amazon ($35 off).
Typically, standard Stream Deck MK. 2 is available in black or white for $149.99 (with discounts as low as $109.99 during the biggest sale), so there’s a bit of a premium for the limited-edition model and its aesthetics. But this is the first (and probably only) time that an Atomic Purple model is discounted. Elgato is only selling this version on Amazon and claims that once sold out, the individually numbered versions will no longer be available. So if you like the recent rise in transparency technology, you might want to consider joining this space. I know I’m tempted too.
The 15-key macro keyboard controls a variety of functions on your Windows or Mac computer. It may have been originally designed to help Twitch streamers quickly access complex OBS Studio controls while streaming, but it can also help control your daily tasks, like summoning selected apps or muting yourself on a Zoom call with one click.
What’s special about the Stream Deck are its small LCD buttons, which you can program to perform a variety of functions – even ones that connect to other devices in your smart home ecosystem. Think of it like a universal remote for your computer, it’s most helpful when pressing a button is faster and easier than navigating software menus with a mouse or remembering some confusing multi-key shortcuts on your keyboard .
