“Stream Deck Neo” Cedar Park, 2025
I added a new gadget to my streaming setup this week, a Stream Deck Neo. It had been sitting on my wishlist for a while, but it did not go on sale for Black Friday. When I checked again on Cyber Monday, the price had dropped, so I jumped on it right away.
Before buying the hardware, I had been testing Stream Deck Mobile on my iPhone and setting up all my streaming commands there. That gave me a good feel for how the system works and made the decision to buy the physical device much easier. If you are not familiar with it, a Stream Deck lets you trigger commands and actions with the press of a button instead of digging through apps and menus on your computer.
This is especially helpful for me because I stream on my MacBook Air. Whenever I switch between apps while OBS is running, it can cause lag and choppiness in the stream. With the Stream Deck, I can control Spotify, adjust volume, mute my mic, send chat messages, and toggle OBS overlays without ever touching those other apps. It is incredibly handy and, honestly, pretty fun to use.
