Review on Razer Stream Controller: All-In-One Keypad For Streaming - 12 Haptic Switchblade Keys - 6 Tactile Analog Dials - 8 Programmable Buttons - Designed For PC & Mac Compatibility by Jahan Arias

Paying extra for what? Razer branding

Before you read any further, from my research - there is nothing different from this compared to the loupedeck live and unless you care about branding - there is no reason to buy this specific one.The Razer Stream Controller utilizes none of the Razer Synapse software but instead redirects you to the Loupedeck configurator. The configurator itself is functional but is quite laggy navigating around and creates issues when putting your computer to sleep. The software shop has a bunch of useful streaming items and Adobe setup screens but is rather limited to specific applications. For the most part, you will be creating your own shortcuts/macros and assigning them to icons on the screen or using the configurator to utilize opening system applications.The biggest issue with the controller is that after my computer goes to sleep the configurator software crashes and renders the controller useless until you 'Recover Loupedeck' buttonIf you are a racing sim player, this is a nice thing to have - for things like Flight Simulator and iRacing, you can create custom macros to control things in the game like volume, switches, etc.Overall, the Razer Stream Controller has the potential of being useful but is plagued by slow and unreliable software and is wildly overpriced.
