Independent testing
How much independent testing exists for each stream deck
Of the 7 stream decks we track, 2 have been physically measured by at least one independent lab. Below is every one, ordered by how much independent hands-on evidence stands behind it — densest first.
A coverage record, not a ranking of which is best.
| Product | Independent labs | Metrics measured | Outlets on record |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elgato Stream Deck + | 1 | 3 | 2 |
| Elgato Stream Deck Neo | 1 | 2 | 1 |
| Elgato Stream Deck Mini | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Elgato Stream Deck Pedal | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Loupedeck Live | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Loupedeck Live S | 0 | 0 | 1 |
Each figure is a count of what independent testers actually did — how we count. A low count means little independent evidence has been gathered yet, never that a product is worse. See also the Stream Decks buying guide and the reviewers we cite.
