Having regularly used an Elgato Stream Deck, I was on the fence about purchasing an off brand with concerns that the quality wouldn't be as good. Fortunately, I am pretty happy with my purchase. I would say the button presses feel a little less satisfying than the stream deck, but you are still able to feel that tactile click are used to. The added vibration is nice and makes up for the tactile differences. The VSD software is pretty responsive and has settings that allow you to enable/disable vibration as well as change the knob led colors and brightness (they are pretty bright by default). Overall the device feels pretty solid and I think it's a nice plus that it has a built in USB hub. I think the only shortcoming is the software is not compatible with stream deck plugins. It appears there is an alternative plugin marketplace and the plug-ins used are not VSD specific, but a shared standard between all of these 'stream docks' that are available. I'm sure as time passes and these budget friendly devices get more popular, we will see a wider variety of plugins. Until then, if there is something missing you can give OpenDeck a try, it works well but the center screen portion is under utilized. Bitfocus companion also supports this hardware, but I haven't given it a test run yet. Read more
GET. IT. I LOVE mine so much! It has made gaming, streaming, editing, and work SO much more convenient! I use a lot of spreadsheets for work and its made commands so much easier! Instead of pressing 3 buttons to clip gameplay on my keyboard, I just have to press one now! The quality is incredible and the software is so easy to use! I love this so much I actually bought it for my squad as well, so another 3 of them lol. The lights are vibrant and beautiful for the background and the knobs! Size is perfect! Doesnt take up a ton of room on my desk! I run Windows 11 and its worked great so compatibility has been no problem! Read more
Not cheap. But definitely not overpriced. Love the physical knobs and physical buttons and best of all the ability to customize the appearance of the buttons, it even allows for animated buttons. It has a lot of power tools that advanced users will fall in love with. Infinite levels of macro customizations and plugins! (Not really, but it feels that way). The hardware feels of genuine quality and not that cheap plastic feel and gloss from Temu manufacturers. Haptic feedback from physical buttons is a nice touch. Love the 4 included knobs and the reactive RGB with this device. It's a small feature and detail that a lot of competitors skimp out on. The adjustable brightness levels is just enough and not overwhelming. The buttons themselves are nice but the travel distance to press could preferably be halved. The graphics itself is a bit on the lower end in quality but not cheap. It has a vast selection of community plugins to fill your hearts desire, all it's missing are what should be additional built-in ratings, comments, and last updates system so users don't install developer dead plugins. But at least it let's you sort by most popular and displays a running "Downloads" counter for each plugin. Appreciate the fact that it uses USB Type C as the main data and power input; plus two additional USB Ports that can be used. Now for the downsides (Everything has a downside but this one is understandable): The software must be running at all times in order for the device to function (yes, software can be minimized to tray.) When minimized to tray, the software still hovers around 300 MB RAM Usage but less than 1% CPU Usage. The device goes dark if the software exits or crashes. Would be nice if it at least maintained essential functions without the app running. Developers should look into separating the software itself from the service and running a separate background service that won't rely on the app constantly running; this way the device can continue to run without the GUI software running. Can also be beneficial for Linux users if there were a CLI version that could be ran. Software UI could use some work. It can get tricky to find, learn, customize and get it to do what you want. It could highly benefit from a community built Store with custom Pages, Scenes, Other Customizations and Profiles for users to browse. In addition to that, An "Import and Export Profiles, Page/Scene, Plugins" feature with the ability that auto installs plugins from the imported profiles would be super beneficial for beginners. I, myself prefer to read instead of listening to video. Written Tutorials should be built into the app in some way instead of opening a browser and linking to Youtube videos. But that's just a preference. Software could also benefit from additional and more detailed "?" hover over tooltip buttons to help newcomers. The vsdinside.vip website needs work. Had issues with just making an account. Overall, it's worth the price when compared to other overpriced competitors and I can highly recommend it. The only true downside is the graphics quality and the software (which can be easily fixed by the developers). Read more
This macro pad has been a game-changer for my streaming setup. The programmable keys with customizable LCD displays make switching OBS scenes, triggering soundboard effects, and launching shortcuts super easy and intuitive. Setup was straightforward on my PC (works great with Mac too), and the build quality feels solid for the price. It's perfect for gamers, streamers, or anyone optimizing their desk workflow—highly recommend if you want Stream Deck-like functionality without the high cost! Read more
it does everything it’s supposed to immediately no delay (which is an issue i have had with previous stream decks) it’s extremely solid and made with quality material packing quite some weight to it. compatible with all of my devices and the sound is great! it’s nice and small and compact as well! 10/10 buy it if you can!

Looks good but everything about it is a hassle. To much work and when you finally get done it’s super laggy. Best bet is to buy a stream deck Read more
