The Many Benefits of Stream Deck Integration

If you’ve been keeping track of recent CORSAIR launches, you might have noticed a feature that’s unique to CORSAIR gear, and that’s Stream Deck integration. But what does it really mean to have a mouse, keyboard, or other peripheral that’s integrated with Elgato’s legendary Stream Decks? We’re glad you asked!

If a product is part of the Stream Deck ecosystem, one of the main obvious benefits is that you can directly map functions to it within the Stream Deck app. This extremely convenient feature lets you create profiles with plugins and Stream Deck functions that can be directly mapped to your devices within one app.

By building these optimizations for the programs you use most, your gear can actually adapt and evolve with your needs. Unlike traditional hardware, the customization this unlocks means you’ll constantly be developing new utility for your products as your own workflows change over time. You’ll always have the power to do the things you love smarter and better, even when the things that you love change.

You’ll have direct access to map functions of Elgato devices to your CORSAIR products in the Stream Deck ecosystem, which will give you an expanded level of control of those devices, as well. Dim your Elgato Key Light with one of the GALLEON 100 SD’s rotary dials or hit a thumb button on your SCIMITAR ELITE WIRELESS SE to mute your Wave:3.

A product being part of the Stream Deck ecosystem also means that it unlocks the features of the Elgato Virtual Stream Deck within the Stream Deck app. This allows you to create powerful virtual stream decks, versatile on-screen clickable shortcut menus. One of the great things about these virtual stream decks is that you can create them for pretty much anything.

Trying to tighten up your remote work workflows? Create shortcuts for your VANGUARD PRO 96 that allow you to turn the camera on and off, share your screen, leave the meeting, and mute your mic. Instead of having to hunt around to find the options in the menu, you’ll have all of that in one convenient location, and you can summon it with a single button press or keystroke.

The Elgato Stream Deck is super connected with the most commonly used programs, which is incredibly convenient. You’ll have the ability to map actions like switching to your favorite Spotify playlist or jumping into voice chat on a particular Discord channel.

Any product that is part of the Stream Deck ecosystem has a similar level of incredible access via the Stream Deck app, so you can efficiently share the workload between devices.

Products in the Stream Deck ecosystem will also have access to the world of plugins and customizations that are available in the Elgato Marketplace. If you just want to dip your toe into the vast ocean of infinite customizability and productivity, you can take the simple route and pick up some tried and tested user profiles that can help you get started.

If you’ve been looking for a way to streamline your setup or extend your control capabilities beyond just one aspect of your daily life, picking up gear that has Stream Deck integration is a great idea. By infusing CORSAIR gear with the might of Elgato, the result is uniquely versatile products that control so much more than other input devices can.
