Elgato Stream Deck Mini
Six visible actions suit a small first page. Check the cable end on the actual unit before choosing an adapter; current maker pages disagree about Type-A versus Type-C.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Stream Deck Neo
Eight actions stay visible at once. Choose a dial model for continuous volume adjustments, or use pages when extra actions can stay one step away.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Stream Deck MK.2
Choose it for 15 visible button actions. If you ride several audio levels during a show, compare a dial model before assigning pairs of volume buttons.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Stream Deck +
Four dials accompany eight LCD keys. If more than eight labeled actions must stay visible, allow page changes or compare a larger key surface.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Stream Deck + XL
Reserve a direct USB 3 connection and desk space for its 36 keys and six dials. Choose a smaller surface if either would crowd the setup.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Stream Deck XL
There are no physical dials. Reserve space beside the keyboard for 32 visible keys, or choose a dial model for continuous mixing.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Stream Deck Pedal
Assign its three foot switches to actions you can remember without labels, such as mute or scene changes. Keep a labeled key surface for larger control sets.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Facecam Neo
Its fixed USB-C lead needs a data adapter on a USB-A computer. Select 1080p60 MJPG in OBS before judging motion.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Facecam MK.2
Its fixed focus suits a consistent speaking position. Place the camera within the published focus range; choose autofocus if you regularly lean far forward or show objects close to the lens.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Facecam 4K
Connect it to a USB 3 port to get every video mode, then choose the exact mode in OBS. On USB 2 you get fewer modes, even with a USB-C plug.
Connections & full profile →Logitech MX Brio
Set the desired framing and exposure in the camera software, then test that view in OBS before relying on automatic reframing.
Connections & full profile →Logitech Brio 4K
Brio is a family name: confirm the 4K model, not Brio 100 or 300.
Connections & full profile →Logitech StreamCam
Its attached USB-C cable needs a USB 3 port for full video. On a computer with only USB-A ports, add a USB-C to USB-A adapter that carries USB 3 data, then choose the mode in OBS.
Connections & full profile →Logitech C922 Pro
Choose 1080p for a 30 fps stream or 720p for 60 fps. If full-HD 60 fps is essential, choose a camera that explicitly lists 1080p60.
Connections & full profile →Razer Kiyo V2
The basic camera works on any supported computer; Razer’s software effects need a supported Windows PC. Test those effects in OBS before the show.
Connections & full profile →Razer Kiyo V2 X
Plan on 1080p60 or 1440p30, the modes in the maker’s encoding table. Razer advertises 1440p60, but its own table doesn’t list it, so don’t buy it for that mode.
Connections & full profile →Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra
Razer asks for a direct USB 3 port on the computer, and the cable in the box ends in USB-A. Its picture settings live in Razer Synapse, which Razer lists for Windows 10 64-bit or later.
Connections & full profile →View at Razer ↗Insta360 Link 2
Leave clearance for the motorized camera to turn and use a stable mount. Choose the fixed Link 2C body if you only need a stationary seated frame.
Connections & full profile →Insta360 Link 2C
The fixed 2C body does not physically pan like Link 2. Choose Link 2 when following a moving presenter is the main job.
Connections & full profile →Insta360 Link 2 Pro
Its published hardware guide covers the gimbal, lens and mounts but does not specify video output modes. Choose a camera with a documented resolution and frame rate when that decides the purchase.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Wave Neo
Choose it for one direct USB speaking position and use its headphone jack to monitor your voice. For two separately controlled speakers, plan two microphones and an interface with two inputs.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Wave:3 MK.2
Choose the MK.2 as your audio device and set up its processing before adding it to OBS; guides for the first Wave:3 describe different processing.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Wave DX
Add an XLR cable and an interface with a microphone preamp. A USB cable or passive XLR adapter alone cannot connect this microphone to the computer.
Connections & full profile →Shure MV6
Use it directly over USB. Choose an XLR or hybrid microphone instead if you intend to move the same mic onto a standalone analog mixer.
Connections & full profile →Shure MV7+
Use USB for the microphone’s DSP and headphone features. On XLR, plan processing and monitoring at the interface; those USB features do not follow the analog cable.
Connections & full profile →RØDE PodMic USB (Black)
Choose a mount that supports the microphone’s documented weight. Use USB for its onboard processing, or plan processing and monitoring separately on the XLR route.
Connections & full profile →RØDE NT-USB+
Use the direct USB route and place the microphone close enough for a clear voice before treating room reflections with processing. Choose another microphone if an XLR mixer connection is required.
Connections & full profile →Razer Seiren V3 Pro
Use USB when you want the microphone’s software processing. On XLR, add an interface and do the processing there; the USB features don’t carry over to the XLR output.
Connections & full profile →Shure SM7B
It needs more gain than most entry-level interfaces give: Shure asks for a preamp with more than 60 dB of gain, or an inline booster. Choose the interface before the microphone.
Connections & full profile →View at Shure ↗Samson Q2U
Its USB audio is 16-bit at 44.1 or 48 kHz. On the XLR route it needs an interface with a microphone preamp.
Connections & full profile →View at Samson ↗HyperX QuadCast 2 S
For one voice, use the cardioid pattern and keep it close: the omnidirectional and stereo patterns take in the whole room by design.
Connections & full profile →View at HyperX ↗Elgato Wave XLR MK.2
Its single microphone preamp suits one XLR speaker. Choose an interface with two independent mic inputs when two people need separate gain controls.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Wave XLR Pro
Plug your streaming computer into the main USB socket. Keep the second USB socket for the other device, and set up what each one hears separately.
Connections & full profile →Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen
Loopback alone does not remove a guest’s voice from their return. Build a separate mix-minus route before using remote guests, or choose a mixer with that routing available.
Connections & full profile →RØDE Streamer X
Set capture output separately from the display passthrough mode. Configure the audio returns before going live so HDMI audio and computer loopback do not reach OBS twice.
Connections & full profile →RØDE RØDECaster Duo
Assign the stream, headphones and guest return explicitly. Exclude the guest’s own voice from their return, then record a call to check the mix before going live.
Connections & full profile →Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro
Plan an HD stream from its USB webcam output. If you need to record in 4K, choose a capture card that lists 4K output; its HDMI inputs don’t make it a 4K capture device.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Game Capture Neo
Use its HDMI output to play on your TV in 4K60 HDR and its USB output to capture up to 1080p60. Choose another card if you need to stream or record in 4K.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Game Capture 4K S
Select a listed capture mode and a separate listed display mode. If HDR or high refresh is essential, match both exact modes before choosing this card.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Game Capture 4K X
Use a 10 Gbps USB port to get every mode. On a 5 Gbps port, pick one of the lower capture modes, or use a faster port, before buying it for high resolution.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Game Capture 4K Pro
Use a supported Windows desktop with a suitable PCIe x4 slot. Choose a USB capture device for a Mac or a laptop without an accessible compatible slot.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Cam Link 4K
There is no HDMI display output. Identify the unit’s revision before planning 4K frame rates, then test clean HDMI and continuous camera power; use a passthrough card for a separate gaming display.
Connections & full profile →AVerMedia Live Gamer ULTRA S GC553Pro
Choose the capture mode for your Windows PC or Mac. The HDMI source must not be copy-protected (HDCP); a different cable won’t make protected video capturable.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Key Light Neo
Match the USB power to the brightness you need. If your computer’s port gives less power, use the higher-power supply the maker lists or settle for less brightness.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Key Light Air MK.2
Full brightness needs a 30 W or stronger USB-C power supply. Use the included desk clamp; the original Air stand is a different design.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Key Light
Check the desk edge, clamp clearance and power location before choosing it.
Connections & full profile →Elgato HD60 X · older model
Check that its capture and passthrough modes cover what you stream now. Buying new? Compare the current cards and the USB ports they need.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Facecam Pro · older model
Keep it only if your computer gets the video mode you need from it. Test a whole stream with your other USB cameras and capture cards plugged in.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Wave:3 (first generation) · older model
Set up its processing in software: the MK.2’s on-microphone processing doesn’t apply to this model.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Wave XLR (first generation) · older model
Work from the original model’s published gain range and software. If your microphone needs more gain, check that against the original preamp before looking at the MK.2.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Key Light Air (first generation) · older model
Keep its original stand and matching power supply. Measure that base on the desk; the MK.2 clamp, USB power and dimensions do not describe this light.
Connections & full profile →Logitech G Yeti
Its USB audio tops out at 16-bit, 48 kHz, and as a condenser it hears the room: use the cardioid pattern for one voice and speak from close in. The other three patterns take in more of the room by design.
Connections & full profile →View at Logitech G ↗Logitech G Yeti GX
A supercardioid dynamic hears little beyond what is right in front of it, so keep it a short distance from your mouth and pointed at you. It connects over USB only; there is no XLR output for a later interface.
Connections & full profile →View at Logitech G ↗Logitech G Yeti Orb
A condenser with one cardioid pattern: it suits a quiet room and a voice close to the front. Its mount thread is 1/4-inch-20, the camera size; a boom arm with a 5/8-inch thread needs an adapter.
Connections & full profile →View at Logitech G ↗Logitech G Snowball iCE
It records 16-bit at 44.1 kHz and Logitech lists no headphone socket or gain control on it, so you set the level in the computer and hear yourself through software.
Connections & full profile →View at Logitech G ↗FIFINE AmpliGame AM8
The mute, gain, headphone and lighting controls work over USB only; on XLR it is a plain microphone and the interface does that job. No XLR cable comes in the box.
Connections & full profile →View at FIFINE ↗HyperX SoloCast 2
HyperX lists it for PC and names no headphone socket, so you hear yourself through the computer. As a condenser it suits a quiet room.
Connections & full profile →View at HyperX ↗Samson Q9U
It has no desk stand: plan a boom arm or mic stand. On the XLR route add a cable and an interface; its mute button works on both outputs.
Connections & full profile →View at Samson ↗Shure MV7X
XLR only: add an XLR cable and an interface with a microphone preamp. Unlike the MV7+, it has no USB output and no on-board processing.
Connections & full profile →View at Shure ↗RØDE PodMic
The box holds only the microphone: add an XLR cable, an interface with a microphone preamp and a boom arm. For a USB connection as well, RØDE makes the PodMic USB.
Connections & full profile →View at RØDE ↗RØDE NT-USB Mini
A condenser for a quiet room: it hears keyboard and fan noise more than a dynamic microphone would. It has no on-microphone mute.
Connections & full profile →View at RØDE ↗RØDE NT1 5th Generation
Very sensitive and side-address: speak into its side, in a quiet, treated room. On the XLR route the interface must supply 48 V phantom power.
Connections & full profile →View at RØDE ↗Audio-Technica AT2020
It needs 48 V phantom power from the interface, plus an XLR cable and a stand. As a sensitive side-address condenser it hears the room; a dynamic suits a noisy desk better.
Connections & full profile →View at Audio-Technica ↗Audio-Technica AT2020USB-X
USB only: unlike the XLR AT2020 it cannot move to an interface later. It is a condenser, so a quiet room matters.
Connections & full profile →View at Audio-Technica ↗HyperX QuadCast S
For one voice use cardioid and stay close; the stereo and omnidirectional patterns hear the whole room. HyperX’s newer QuadCast 2 S records at a higher resolution.
Connections & full profile →View at HyperX ↗FIFINE AmpliTank K688
All its controls work over USB only; on XLR the interface sets gain and monitoring. No XLR cable comes with it, and FIFINE asks for a 2 to 6 inch speaking distance.
Connections & full profile →View at FIFINE ↗FIFINE K669B
FIFINE lists a gain knob but no headphone socket, so you hear yourself through the computer. A condenser: it suits a quiet room, 6 to 12 inches from your mouth.
Connections & full profile →View at FIFINE ↗Audio-Technica AT2040
XLR only: add a cable, an interface and a boom arm. Its hypercardioid pattern hears little from the sides, so keep it pointed straight at your mouth.
Connections & full profile →View at Audio-Technica ↗Logitech C920s Pro HD
It records 1080p and 720p at 30 fps only, so fast movement looks less smooth than on a 60 fps camera. The cable is fixed and ends in USB-A.
Connections & full profile →View at Logitech ↗Logitech Brio 100
Fixed focus and a narrow 58° view: sit at a steady distance and expect a tight frame. It runs at 30 fps only, and the fixed cable ends in USB-A.
Connections & full profile →View at Logitech ↗Logitech Brio 300
The fixed cable ends in USB-C, so a computer with only USB-A ports needs an adapter. Fixed focus, and 30 fps at most.
Connections & full profile →View at Logitech ↗Logitech Brio 500
1080p runs at 30 fps; 60 fps is offered only at 720p. The fixed cable ends in USB-C.

Give it a USB 3.0 port for 4K and 1080p60, and room for the gimbal to turn. Tracking, gestures and presets are set in OBSBOT Center on Windows or Mac.
Connections & full profile →View at OBSBOT ↗OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite
Its 4K and 1080p60 modes are MJPEG, which your streaming app decodes. Tracking and presets are set in OBSBOT Center on Windows or Mac.
Connections & full profile →View at OBSBOT ↗OBSBOT Meet 2
It has no gimbal, so it frames by cropping. 4K30 and 1080p60 arrive as MJPEG over a USB 2.0 connection.
Connections & full profile →View at OBSBOT ↗NexiGo N60
The 110° view shows much of the room behind you, and focus is fixed. 30 fps at most; NexiGo does not state the cable’s plug.

It runs at 30 fps at most. NexiGo’s page does not list the box contents or the cable’s plug, so check both before planning the connection.
Connections & full profile →View at NexiGo ↗Elgato Key Light Mini
No mount comes in the box: it needs a 1/4-inch screw mount, a tripod or Elgato’s Multi Mount. On battery it lasts about 4 hours at half brightness.
Connections & full profile →View at Elgato ↗Logitech Litra Glow
At 250 lumens it lights a face at the desk, not a room. Logitech asks for a USB 3.0 port to power it.
Connections & full profile →View at Logitech ↗Logitech G Litra Beam
Logitech does not print a lumen figure. For full brightness it needs a USB 3.1 Gen 2 port or a 5 V, 1.4 A USB power adapter.
Connections & full profile →View at Logitech G ↗Logitech G Litra Beam LX
It runs from the mains adapter in the box, so place it within reach of an outlet; the USB cable is for control only. The front key light gives up to 400 lumens.
Connections & full profile →View at Logitech G ↗Elgato Stream Deck Studio
It is built for a rack and for Bitfocus Buttons or Companion; the Stream Deck app works only in USB mode. Power comes from PoE+ or a USB-C PD 3.0 supply (9 V, 3 A), and the supply is not in the box.
Connections & full profile →View at Elgato ↗Logitech MX Creative Console
It runs on Logi Options+, not the Stream Deck app, so check that the streaming actions you need exist there. The keypad needs a USB-C port; the dialpad pairs over Bluetooth.

One microphone at a time. Its 57 dB of gain is short of the more than 60 dB Shure asks for the SM7B, so that microphone would need an inline booster here.
Connections & full profile →View at Focusrite ↗RØDE RØDECaster Pro II
It runs from its own 30 W USB-C power adaptor, not from the computer. Set the stream, headphone and guest mixes before going live; each USB interface offers a mix-minus return.

Windows only: TC-Helicon states no macOS support. Its phantom power is +24 V, not 48 V, so check a condenser microphone’s requirement first, and plug it into a USB 2.0 port.
Connections & full profile →View at TC-Helicon ↗Behringer U-PHORIA UM2
One microphone input, 48 kHz at most, over USB 1.1. Behringer states no gain figure and no loopback, so a low-output microphone such as the SM7B is not confirmed to have enough gain here.
