Stream Deck Neo

Introduction

Wake up Neo...

We’re always looking for what Elgato is going to do next, and the Stream Deck Neo wears its name well. As a combination of what we’ve come to expect from this line to an effort towards sustainability and accessibility, this is the natural direction for Elgato to go.

Whether you’re a gamer, video editor, or want something to spice up your from-home work experience, the Neo has you in mind.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

Despite its name, the Stream Deck Neo isn’t exactly chocked-full of new features. It has everything you love about the Stream Deck line with a few minor-yet-useful tweaks, all at a lower price point.

This includes 8 customizable LCD buttons in a low-impact 2 by 4 grid, just enough to get you started without cluttering up your desk space. Need more? That’s perfectly fine; the Neo’s capacitive buttons make it easy to swap through endless pages, ensuring you have as many macros at your fingertips as you need.

The LCD infobar underneath these keys is a new feature. It might not make a huge difference for everyone, but having a customizable clock and a reminder of what page you're on can have a significant impact on productivity.

Advantages of the Stream Deck Neo

There are plenty of reasons to love the Stream Deck Neo, from what we can depend on Stream Deck for to the new things they’ve brought to the table in this new line, including:

Making macros more affordable

Minimizing design without minimizing capability

Sticking to Elgato’s easy operation

Introducing new features like built-in touch points and an impactful infobar

Whether you want to dip your toes in customizable macropads, need some on-the-go hardware, or just want to support the direction they’re going in, this is the perfect device.

Affordability

The Stream Deck Neo is the one of the lowest-priced macro pads from Elgato and nearly the cheapest route you can go without making your own out of a rogue num pad. This means you can save and splurge more on the tech that matters to you, from smart home devices to video games and more streaming gear.

This is the perfect price point for someone who isn’t quite sure about the Stream Deck Line or someone who already has one but needs a smaller, more portable option. Opting for the Neo means saving money but not sacrificing major benefits like Elgato’s easy integration and high-quality software.

Minimalistic Design

The Neo also has a smaller footprint, only 107 x 26 x 78 mm, and it comes as a single piece with a connected cord and adjustable stand. While it makes it cheaper, it also makes it more portable and a great choice if you have limited space on your desk.

Want a macro pad to boot up Teams while you’re constantly travelling for work? The Neo has your back. Prefer a physically separate tool to the Stream Deck’s endless pages to pull out when you play Flight Simulator? The Neo still offers a ton of customization without taking up too much space.

The Neo is bigger than the Mini, but the extra space for the infobar and capacitive keys are worth the extra space. Combined with an actually adjustable stand, and it’s just as much as you need without the frills.

Easy Operation

Like all Stream Deck devices, the Neo is basically plug-and-play once you have the software installed. Simply drag-and-drop functions and shortcuts to the desired key and voíla! You don’t even need to be a pro at creating intricate functional paths; Elgato has plenty ready for you to use.

Their proven software also has plenty of third-party tools to test out, like this Free Stream Deck IP-Camera Plugin App that allows you to place live images directly on the buttons. You can create multiple profiles depending on your mood and mentality, meaning you don’t actually need to buy separate devices to get the most out of customization. Swap between them to see ions dedicated to your Microsoft 365 workday to relaxing animated GIFs when you clock out, or whatever task you take on next.

With the Stream Deck Neo, you have every opportunity to unlock a new, better flow.
