Frank is always impressive, but maybe the most impressive thing is how long he can carry a single take offloading just OODLES of information and not missing a beat or jump cutting every 2 seconds. Respect.

It's nice but they really need to lower the price quite a bit in order to make it compelling, $120 for the Elgato Stream Deck vs $279 for the Razer Version which realy just has a few more buttons/dials really doesn't seem worth it to me. Also, I would have liked to see some Razer integration for things like Razer Chroma for RGB and such.

[RainMakeR_Workshop]

Hmmm, depending on how assignable that is. It could be a fantastic button box for sim games. Since the Stream Deck lacks knobs.

Whenever I have software with lists like that, I usually start leaning on the search function which I hope is decent enough for people out there

[haansolo]

They slapped a Razer logo on it and upped the price by $100

Edit : It was a joke I’m pretty sure the price change is only $30

[DRSKINGDAVID]

It cost more than the allready established stream deck that has way more features more buttons and its own software.. Razer dont know what it is they want to do!

[jonvaliagas]

I love you man, been watching for 7 years, if I had to guess. Still here and you do NOT disappoint.

[RadElNew]

They should make a smaller one to compete with the Elgato Stream Deck mini.

[KatzenminzeWarVergeben]

Slapping their Logo on it, but not integrating it into Synapse is pretty dissappointing, imo

[being_parzival]

Really really hoped it would have Razer controls in it. I really wish to have something like the stream deck that can control my Razer Chroma and Profiles because i have way to many lighting profiles on all my Razer devices.

coming from 2 years into the future its weird seeing what was projected and theorized flipped around where the loupedeck is $280 (and with dead end hair ripping support) and the same exact thing down to the mistake marks on the plastic but with the razer logo on it be $130

[TheBigGiant_SpaceChiken]

It´s disappointing to see a company like Razer take the easy and lazy road by just paying Loupdeck for the rights to put the Razer name on their product without adding anything new. You´re right, who in their right mind would wait for the release of the Razer versionm if the original is already on sale.

2:04 It looks quite practical; buttons, screen, volume controls all in one.

My favorite use of this is mapping to MIDI, and controlling Voicemeeter Banana and OBS to manage multiple audio sources and routing in one place. That’s actually the most significant reason I got it. Thinking about it now I wonder if I could just do that with a MIDI controller.

I wanted either the loupedeck or stream deck for shortcuts mainly and streaming down the line. I choose the loupedeck as it looked better and was many years newer. I never really enjoyed it too much, the only thing I use it for today is to be able the use the dials to control the volume for each app, which even that is a bit iffy as you cannot control the order that the apps appear or hide apps such as razer synapse or the steam app which you would never need to control the volume for those. For example, Chrome might be on page 1 then I might need to change to page 2 to control the game volume. I spoke to Loupedeck about it they said it's coming from the computer mixer and cannot be configured at all.

The software is not user-friendly as mentioned. Simple things like adding a bookmark was really hard at the start, and their folder approach which is that there are no folders just pages which use created shortcut buttons is really stressful. A year later I brought the Streamdeck on sale, which I love and would recommend it over the Loupedeck no matter what. Hopefully, in the future, the loupedeck software will be much better, but right now it's trash. 😥

You're underestimating the appeal this will have for the Razer fan boys. Brand recognition alone will probably sell more units than loopdeck ever did even with a head start.

I just got one, two years after this video. Changing the sensitivity of my Razer mouse with one of the knobs is 1) possible now, and 2) really cool and useful! I don’t have to flip my mouse over and push a button to select a preset now. …but I’m still struggling with the software. Less than 24 hours in though. At least I got it for $129, which seems closer to what it’s worth, rather than $279

[FractalPrism.]

this is like the razer version of the sony wxm4 headphones, basically the same product but with razer branding

[Czatrades]

Oh my god what a wild ride the opening explanation was lol

[michaelthompson]

LoupeDeck made a great product ahead of its time and now with many more Techtubers giving the YouTube space a go, these devices are becoming more essential. Just hope the prices come down for what they are and the software does improve.
