Choose by the job
Eight buttons in a small space
Neo keeps eight actions visible and uses touch points to change pages. Its information display is not another row of programmable LCD keys.
A larger scene bank
The 15-key family adds visible room without moving to the largest controller. Confirm classic or scissor-key variant before comparing a retail listing.
Continuous adjustments
Stream Deck + adds four dials to eight keys. Choose it when supported level or parameter adjustments matter more than a larger key grid.
Many actions and dials together
Stream Deck + XL has 36 keys and six dials. It needs its own USB 3 port on the computer and plenty of desk space.
Hands occupied
Pedal provides three foot actions. It is a different control method, with no visible LCD labels; map safe, easy-to-remember actions.

Connections & full profile →Three limits of this comparison
- Key count doesn’t tell you which apps have a plugin, or for which version of Windows or macOS.
- Folders and pages let you store more actions, not see more at once.
- This table does not judge switch feel, reliability or speed from unperformed hands-on tests.

Already own an older model?
This table lists models you can buy now. An older model you already own can still do the job: add it in the setup builder and test it. Different colors of one model are not listed separately, and a newer version can need different ports or software from the one before it.
To match a controller to the actions you need on screen, open the Stream Deck selector.
