Amazon Prime Day<\/a> is just beginning, and Elgato is already dropping a sweet deal. Prime subscribers can get the limited-edition atomic purple version of Elgato\u2019s Stream Deck MK. 2<\/strong> for $124.99 ($35 off) at Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Normally, the standard Stream Deck MK. 2 comes in black<\/a> or white<\/a> and sells for $149.99 (or discounted as low as $109.99 during its biggest sales promos), so there is a bit of a premium on the limited-edition model and its aesthetics. But this is the first (and possibly only) time the atomic purple model has been discounted. Elgato only sells this variant on Amazon, and it claims the individually numbered run will no longer be available once it sells out. So you may want to consider jumping on this if you love the recent resurgence of transparent tech<\/a>. I know I\u2019m quite tempted myself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The 15-key macro pad controls all kinds of functions across a Windows or Mac computer. It may have been initially designed to help Twitch streamers with quick access to complex OBS Studio controls while live, but it serves just as well to help control your everyday tasks like summoning selected apps or muting yourself on a Zoom call with one press.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n What makes the Stream Deck special is its small LCD buttons<\/a>, which you can program to do all kinds of functions \u2014 even ones linked to other devices in your smart home ecosystem. Think of it like a universal remote for your computer, and it\u2019s at its most helpful when a single button press is faster and simpler than having to dig through a software menu with your mouse or remembering some cockamamie multikey shortcut on your keyboard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
