I love my mk I Elgato Stream Deck. And I can highly recommend it.

I can’t remember where I bought it, but it was more expensive than this price.

I mainly use mine to control macros in Studio One 7 Pro, and it’s a great time-saver.

All the best.

Present past for the future

My I’ve only had ‘VSD Inside’ review:

For DAW control the Elgato Stream Deck is probably the way to go.
There 3rd party companies (like sideshowfx ) that sell DAW specific profiles that map out everything and minimize the learning curve
or you can configure things yourself (StreamDeck the ultimate Ableton upgrade).

VSD Inside has plugins for Cubase and Nuendo but they require a per button configuration.
Still on the start of the learning curve with this so maybe it’s less hassle than I’m imagining it’s going to be.
Plugins, profiles, etc. are not interchangeable between StreamDeck and VSD Inside.

So still playing with VSD Inside.
Both systems require that you have their software always running in the background.

While it’s pretty, still debating on how much use I’ll actually get out of it.
