More information:
The new Elgato Stream Deck XL comes with a stand that gives you two different options for whatever works best for the streamer.
The holder has a hollow center that allows you to run cords through and better organize them and it has the Elgato logo on the back.
If you prefer the flatter look, you can remove the stand and use it from that angle. The only thing that could have made this a little better would be a more adjustable stand that gives you more than two options.
The Elgato software provides a display of buttons as you would see them on the broadcast platform and updates with very little lag.
There are several default keyboard shortcuts available that are more suitable for streamers, however, there are customization options available to use outside of those provided by default.
Another great feature is the multiple button actions. For example, if you follow a process to start your flow, instead of customizing each button to perform a task, you can customize a button to perform the entire process. This gives you more options and space for more personalized buttons.
Do you have two streamers in the house? If so, you have the option of creating multiple profiles to suit the needs of each streamer.
Amazon provides the product description as follows:
