Investment strengthens a nearly decade-long partnership behind Bitfocus Companion, the open-source software that has turned Stream Deck into a trusted control surface across broadcast, AV, and event production worldwide
Milpitas, CA. – July 31, 2026 – CORSAIR Gaming, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRSR) (“Corsair” or the “Company”), a leading global provider of high-performance gear for gamers, streamers, and content creators, today announced that during the quarter it made a minority investment in Bitfocus AS (“Bitfocus”), the Oslo-based software company behind Companion and Buttons, the enterprise-grade control and automation platform for broadcast, live events, AV, and control rooms.
For nearly a decade, the open-source Companion project has turned Elgato Stream Deck into a trusted control surface for live broadcast, AV, and event production driving video switchers, playback systems, lighting, and graphics through hundreds of community-built integrations, with hundreds of thousands of installations in studios and venues around the world. Building on that foundation, Bitfocus Buttons brings a professional-grade edition to the most demanding production environments, where it is relied on by leading broadcasters and rights holders. Corsair’s investment deepens that relationship and aligns Stream Deck’s product roadmap with Bitfocus’s professional focus.
The combination of Stream Deck and Bitfocus Buttons extends Elgato’s reach beyond the creator’s desk into higher-value professional production environments, opening a durable, software-led growth path built on an ecosystem and community that already exist at scale. It builds on the companies’ existing collaboration on Stream Deck Studio, launched in 2024 as the first hardware purpose-built for Buttons.
Thi La, CEO of Corsair, said: “I am pleased to formalize our relationship with Bitfocus. Together, we now offer a complete software and hardware solution, one I believe is both compelling and innovative for the professional broadcast market. This partnership also lets us realize more synergy, through joint R&D and a shared go-to-market approach.”
Ole-Andreas Løvland, Bitfocus CEO, said: “Joining forces even more closely with Corsair and Elgato truly strengthens our team, and I’m genuinely excited about what lies ahead. Corsair’s minority investment gives us not only the capital to fuel our next phase of growth and development, but also invaluable shared market insights that will accelerate innovation for both parties, ensuring we deliver precisely what the market needs. At the same time, our vision remains clear: to drive the industry forward by making high-quality production simpler and more accessible, whether for massive TV broadcasts or compact studios. Crucially, Bitfocus remains committed to an open ecosystem as we continue to push boundaries and expand our B2B segment in new and exciting ways. I’m confident this deeper partnership will unlock incredible synergies for everyone involved.”
