DIY Elgato Stream Deck | Macro Pad Tutorial w/ Free Download
The Elgato Stream Deck is a fantastic tool for streamers and editors. It's also really expensive, costing $150/£140. In this video, I'll show you how to make a similar macro pad for only $20/$15.
The Macro Pad allows you to:
Start/Stop the Stream
Start/Stop the Recording
Start/Stop the OBS replay buffer
Save the replay buffer
Switch between 7 scenes seamlessly
Mute the microphone, Discord and the gameplay
Send automatic tweets at the touch of a button (beta).
The auto tweet is still in beta as I'm looking to add API integration in the future. That said, it still works and will be what I use. This DIY Stream Deck solution doesn't replace the Elgato Stream Deck. Due to proper API integration with OBS, Twitter, etc, it is far more powerful than what I have coded. That said, if you don't make a living from streaming, it'll be easier to justify spending over $100 less for something that still does the job.

Disclaimer: This keyboard/keypad was sent to me for free from Banggood. I specifically requested this keypad for the sole purpose of making a DIY stream deck video and I do get to keep it afterwards. I’m no salesman though. I wasn’t influenced to say anything nice, nor would I work with a company that wouldn’t allow me to freely express my own views. If I recommend it, you can be sure that it's MY opinion.
