Elgato, well-known for its game-changing streaming gear, has teamed up with the chat platform Discord to launch a rather exciting piece of kit: the Stream Deck Mini: Discord Edition. This special collaboration aims to blend Elgato’s iconic one-touch control with the vibrant, seamless world of Discord.
Taylor Ward, Director of Ecosystem at Elgato, noted:
“Gamers especially will love the quick access to voice chat and hotkeys, but really anyone who spends time on Discord will find Stream Deck transforms their experience. And by launching exclusively at retail, we’re meeting this audience where they already shop, alongside their favourite tech.”
Stream Deck Mini: Discord Edition
Elgato has taken its hugely popular Stream Deck technology and given it a splash of Discord flair for this special edition. You’ll find the familiar Clyde symbol and digital icons right there on the keys, creating a Stream Deck Mini that instantly feels crafted for Discord regulars and brings the platform’s fun look right to your desktop.
More than just a fresh coat of paint, the device features deep, built-in Discord integration. This gives you one-touch control of the app even when it’s lurking in the background.
Here are the key features for Discord users:
- Instant Access: Keys for essential actions like muting your microphone or turning on your camera are always instantly accessible.
- Share in the Moment: Easily share screens, games, and sound effects without ever having to Alt-Tab out of the action.
- Real-Time Info: Dynamic icons show who’s currently speaking and display live notifications or server updates.
- Ready to Go: On first start-up, the device installs a preconfigured Discord loadout with actions, icons, and plugins so you can get going within minutes. It is, of course, fully customisable in the free Stream Deck app.
Beyond the Discord Server
While it’s designed with Discord enthusiasts in mind, this doesn’t mean that it can’t still do everything that the Stream Deck usually does. It has access to hundreds of plugins and profiles on the Marketplace, letting you expand control over virtually any workflow.
- For Gamers: Keep spells and abilities within easy reach, making sure the action never stops.
- For Streamers: Stay focused on your content with scenes and chat commands right under your thumb.
- For Creatives: Streamline projects with one-touch tool selection in popular apps like Photoshop and DaVinci Resolve.
- For Multitaskers: From music controls to Zoom meetings, it makes multitasking fast and intuitive.
You can organise actions into folders and pages and navigate them with a simple press. Plus, ‘Profiles’ offer special layouts for different apps and workflows—effectively giving you the power of multiple Stream Decks in one. Six keys can become endless actions!
Free Month of Discord Nitro
As an added bonus, every special edition comes with a free month of Discord Nitro. This unlocks a host of premium in-app perks, including bigger file sharing, an expanded emoji library, higher-resolution streaming, and more.
Activating Nitro is simple:
- A Nitro key will appear on your Stream Deck Mini upon setup.
- Pressing this key opens a webform asking for your email and the serial number found on the device’s base.
- Once verified, you’ll receive a code via email to redeem in the Discord app.
This offer is available for new subscribers and those who haven’t had Nitro in the past year.
Where to Buy
The Stream Deck Mini: Discord Edition is available in over 25 countries across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions. Discord fans can snag their special edition in person or online while stocks last.
Elgato has made finding one easy with an interactive store locator on their website, allowing you to search by address or use your current location to show nearby stores, as well as online listings at participating retailers.
What We Think
The partnership between Elgato and Discord feels like a match made in heaven. The Stream Deck is already a fantastic tool for efficiency and fun, and this Discord-themed version, complete with dedicated functionality and a free month of Nitro, seems like a great package for anyone who spends a good chunk of time on the platform. The one-touch control is perfect for keeping your focus on the game or conversation without fumbling for keyboard shortcuts.
