What else you need to use it
Worked out from AJAZZ’s own specifications and box contents for this model. The setup builder checks the same parts against your computer and the rest of your gear.
You need
- AJAZZ software. The maker lists this software for the device to work as described.
Check first
- A USB port that fits the cable. A USB-C cable is in the box; check its other end against your computer’s ports.
- A computer running Windows; macOS. The maker lists these systems for the desktop app.
When this model makes sense
- Keep up to 15 actions on screen at once; put mute and your fallback scene where turning a page can’t hide them.
- Put occasional actions in pages or folders and keep the first page for the stream itself.
- Save a profile in AJAZZ software that works and reuse it. Check each app action after a plugin or software update.
The Stream Deck decisions guide weighs it against the other ways to fill the same role.

Check these conditions first
Not yet confirmed from AJAZZ’s documents: dimensions, weight. The builder treats them as unknown, never as a yes.
For a stream controller, count the actions you need on screen without turning a page. Dials help when you adjust something gradually, such as volume. More keys are no help if the controller pushes your microphone or keyboard out of reach.
What is included, and what may be missing
- AKP153
- USB-C cable
- Manual
Both cable ends and the data rating matter more than the plug shape: streaming cables and ports explains how to match them.
Place it in the complete setup
Every connection
- Webcam USB outUSB cable → A USB port on your computer
- Microphone USB outUSB cable → A USB port on your computer
- Microphone / interface headphone out3.5 mm or 6.3 mm headphone connection → Headphones (what you hear)
- Computer Ethernet portEthernet cable → router; your upload → Platform (check the stream preview)
- Wall socketThe maker’s power supply, or USB power → Computer and devices that need their own power
The diagram shows a simple USB setup. Find where the AJAZZ AKP153 goes, then follow each input back to what feeds it and each output on to where it goes. HDMI and XLR gear needs a capture card or audio interface between it and your computer; it doesn’t plug straight in the way this USB example does.
The setup builder turns this into a connection list for your own computer and gear, and the pre-stream checklist covers the rehearsal once it is wired.
