Elgato, a leading provider of content creation tools and a subsidiary of CORSAIR is expanding the Stream Deck ecosystem in exciting new directions. At this year’s Computex, the company unveiled four groundbreaking innovations under its new “Stream Deck Everywhere” strategy, aimed at bringing powerful, customizable control to more users and workflows than ever before.
“Stream Deck has become a must-have for creators, but until now, many people beyond the creator space lacked access to its potential,” said Julian Fest, General Manager at Elgato. “With these launches, we’re opening up Stream Deck to a world of new users, from developers and DIY builders to manufacturers seeking a field-proven interface for their products. Because Stream Deck isn’t just a device—it’s a platform.”

What can you expect from Elgato’s Stream Deck campaign?
First up is Stream Deck Module, a barebones version of the lauded consumer product that enables hobbyists, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers to embed the iconic technology in their projects, instead of allocating months or even years to developing a control interface from scratch. Available in 6, 15, and 32-key variations, the module comes housed in a durable aluminum chassis that’s ready to drop straight into a custom mount, machine, or product.
Like its retail counterparts, Stream Deck Module is compatible with Stream Deck software and third-party apps. Comprehensive documentation removes the guesswork for makers and manufacturers, allowing them to bring their big ideas to life faster, smarter, and without compromise.
A new Network Dock to empower us all.
Elgato’s new Network Dock unlocks wired Ethernet connectivity for Stream Deck devices, empowering users to extend their control surface beyond the desktop to custom installations, remote stations, and more. Whether mounted to a desk or slotted into Stream Deck XL’s stand, the dock supports both PoE and non-PoE networks, while IP configuration is easily handled directly on-device. It’s another major step toward unlocking Stream Deck’s full potential—anywhere it is needed.
Things are getting more accessible.
Perhaps the most transformative of all, Virtual Stream Deck (VSD) is a software-only version of Stream Deck that brings powerful, customizable control to any screen. Users can create fully interactive control pads anywhere on their desktop—fixed in place for quick access or summoned with a mouse click or hotkey.
It makes Stream Deck more accessible than ever, putting Elgato’s iconic platform in every corner of a user’s workspace. Initially launching exclusively for owners of Stream Deck hardware and select CORSAIR peripherals, like the Xeneon Edge and the Scimitar Elite WE SE Mouse, Virtual Stream Deck will soon roll out to more devices, unlocking intelligent control across touchscreens, mice, keyboards, and beyond.
Get ready for a tactile experience.
Rounding out the announcements is a scissor-switch key variant of Stream Deck MK.2, a faster, crisper alternative to the iconic membrane design. With shorter travel and sharper actuation, these new switches offer enhanced speed and precision for high-frequency tasks and quick hands.
The tighter, more responsive feel also lends itself to typing-style interactions, paving the way for new use cases that benefit from rapid, multi-layered input and control.
Elgato will continue to expand where this tool goes.
Stream Deck has grown from a creator tool into a powerful platform that adapts to any workflow, scales with ambition, and invites innovation across industries. This new wave of launches marks a shift: control is no longer confined to a device or a desk.
Elgato is expanding what Stream Deck can be, and where it can go. With modular hardware, open documentation, and deeply integrated software, makers, businesses, and creators now have the freedom to build smarter workflows, reimagine what control looks like, and where it belongs.
