Stream-deck key planner
Streamers matching a control pad to scenes. The decision this page isolates is narrow on purpose: translate scene count into a keypad class. Payload, channel count, and distance decide the class. A sample photo does not.
This page produces an explainable category or size so options can be compared without a product ranking. The calculator does not rank Elgato. It produces an explainable class so Elgato Stream Deck MK.2, Elgato Stream Deck Mini, and Elgato Stream Deck XL can be compared as examples of that class.
The working method is: Convert the inputs into a published planning class using the method on this page, then compare official product pages that match that class. Planning notes are grounded in CTA. This page does not quote a price or rank a brand.
