Well, it's a Loupedeck Live.

I suppose I wasn't sure what to expect. My experience with Synapse is limited, and I don't use many Razer products currently, but I was at least expecting there to be more software integration. Upon install, what happened next? Install Loupedeck software.So that was disappointing. Previously, Razer had released their own modified GoXLR Mini, which I'm pretty sure had full Razer software integration. Which was a boon, since TC Helicon didn't seem to want to do anything more with what they had…

Pros
  • Compatible with PC, Mac, & Leading Software: Integrated support for OBS Studio, Streamlabs, Twitch, Discord, Spotify, Adobe Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Illustrator, and Final Cut Pro
Cons
  • Limited Durability: The Razer Stream Controller's buttons and dials have a short lifespan, making it an expensive replacement option

Seems Easy to use for Me

Well, from my experience so far, this stream deck is way easier to use than the Elgato Stream Deck. The Elgato Stream Deck required a lot more tinkering with customer commands and even then Streamlabs didn't seem to want to work right with it. I had to repeatedly reset it and Streamlabs to get the Elgato StreamDeck to work.Right out of the box, after installing the appropriate plugins, this seems to work very well. I especially like the analog dials. With Streamlabs Plugin I can adjust the…

Pros
  • Gaming Keyboards
Cons
  • The Razer Stream Controller does not have any LED indicators, making it difficult to navigate settings and options

Great for my use case

I have a Stream Deck that this is replacing. I do not stream. I play online games and like though have sound effects and volume control for in game, discord, etc. Having the knobs is a god send. This is far more functional than what it is replacing. I can only imagine a streamer would have the same conclusion. Build quality is excellent and the product works well. I also use it for editing photos and stuff I use all the time. It is super convenient. The keeps give nice feedback too.Keep in mind

Pros
  • ‎Corded Electric
Cons
  • High Price Tag

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…

Pros
  • ‎Black
Cons
  • The Razer Stream Controller has no touchscreen, making it challenging to switch between scenes while streaming
