Computex 2025: Elgato Stream Deck Integration for New Corsair SCIMITAR ELITE WIRELESS SE Announced
At Computex 2025, Corsair and Elgato have announced a new collaboration, integrating the SCIMITAR ELITE WIRELESS SE mouse with the Stream Deck. Elgato was purchased by Corsair back in 2018, and today, we are seeing a collaboration between the two brands. The Elgato Stream Deck is an invaluable tool for streamers and creators, allowing users to access simple commands with a press of a button. The Corsair SCIMITAR ELITE WIRELESS SE is a wireless MMO gaming mouse that features 16 programmable buttons, with 12 on the side for thumb access. 'Collaboration can result in some truly great outcomes,' said Vice President and General Manager of Gaming Peripherals, Tobias Brinkmann. 'We realized that the SCIMITAR ELITE WIRELESS SE and Elgato Stream Deck were a perfect fit. The integration with Elgato's Virtual Stream Deck provides users with the ability to map the 12 buttons on the Key Slider to a world of new functions.' He went on, 'They now have the freedom to think beyond MMO and streaming setups, expanding into crafting the ultimate setups for their daily workflows. When our brands work together like this, we can deliver unmatched products and functionality, and we will aim to leverage that advantage whenever possible.' With the SCIMiTAR ELITE WIRELESS SE's built-in Stream Deck functionality, those 12 side buttons can now be programmed to the Stream Deck's functions. They also unlock the Virtual Stream Deck, which allows for clickable shortcuts positioned anywhere on-screen or via hotkeys. The service is completely customizable via the Elgato Stream Deck software, and plugins and profiles can be found on the Elgato Marketplace. 'Combined with Stream Deck, SCIMITAR ELITE WIRELESS SE becomes so much more than a mouse,' said General Manager of Elgato, Julian Fest. 'It doesn't just control your games — it controls your entire setup, from audio and lighting to meetings and macros. With Virtual Stream Deck, you can summon even more control without lifting your hand. This kind of deep integration is built into the Elgato ecosystem, and it's a big reason why Stream Deck remains the benchmark for streamlining workflows.' Elgato and Corsair are working together to create ultimate tools for gamers and creators, and this is only the beginning. 'Starting in 2025, CORSAIR brands will be more actively pursuing natural synergies and collaborations that will take CORSAIR customers' user experiences, capabilities, and satisfaction to the next level.' Stay tuned to CGMagazine for more Computex 2025 coverage.

Get £40 off Elgato stream deck that speeds up workflow in Amazon's surprise tech sale
The stream deck is a shortcut to multiple apps that help streamline the productivity but it also controls smart home devices Amazon has launched its Tech Week by offering customers seven days of discounts on more than 450 products, including the Elgato Stream Deck, a customisable controller that organises your desktop apps for a smoother workflow. From today until May 13, the Elgato Stream Deck + is reduced from £199.99 to £159. It may be known as a streamer's tool but it also works a treat for content creators and people who work from home. As both a PC and Mac user, I found the Elgato tool working fine on both laptops when I had to multitask and switch between programmes. As a writer, I have a habit of keeping all my tabs open to the point it's actually slowing down my workflow. The Streatm Deck + features eight push buttons with LCD displays, a multi-action Touchstrip and four dials - they are all customisable, whether it's a shortcut to open Spotify or an easy video scroll to fast forward, pause or reverse a clip. I spend a lot of time watching videos, quickly typing, as well as joining conferences and half of the time I cannot navigate my mouse quickly enough to take a screenshot or even to unmute myself. But now I can assign one button to mute or unmute and utilise the knob function to speed up a video or pause for a screen grab and that saves me from awkward silence or having to rewatch an entire clip to catch up. Shoppers who don't need any knobs can use a buttons-only version and Streamplify's Stream Deck One comes with 15 customisable tabs and it can be set up with a 90-degree rotation. Logitech's MX Creative Console has a creative dial and a deck with nine buttons that users can integrate with apps, but it retails at £199.99. The Elgato Stream Deck+ comes with a non-skid platform, but it is non-foldable, which makes it difficult for storage. Other shoppers mentioned on Amazon reviews that they found the hardware "well-made and solid" but were disappointed that the glitches "made the user experience frustrating". Sometimes the auto-generated logo comes up rather small on the LCD display and I had to manually download a jpeg version to set as background, which took me more time than expected for the aesthetics. But when it comes to speeding up my work, instead of opening yet another tab to jot notes on Google Doc, it is much faster to hit a button on Stream Deck+ to open the notepad and the LCD display shows the programme logo on button icons, which simplifies the mundane routine of hitting the Start menu and looking for 'notepad'. One amazing feature that I found is the "text" action, allowing me to pre-write 500-character blocks of text and insert them wherever I want with one button. The Touchstrip is able to display the weather forecast, which is a nice feature to have. The rotary knobs allow me to adjust volume without hassle but it's also an easy way to control any smart home appliances like Philips Hue lights (sold at Currys) by setting the lights' brightness or colour temperatures, or activating specific scenes. From now on, shoppers can enjoy 20% off and save £40 on the Elgato Stream Deck+.

Elgato Launches The Wave Link 2.0 With Voice Focus, One-Click Audio Routing, And Many More
Elgato has launched its latest audio management tool, Wave Link 2.0, helping creator enhance their audio optimization with Voice Focus, One-Click Audio Routing, and more. To help creators elevate their production quality, Elgato has launched its latest audio management tool, Wave Link 2.0. The software is packed with features, including Voice Focus for clear and crisp vocals, One-Click Audio Routing for simplified and customizable setup, and a range of additional audio effects. Developed in collaboration between Elgato and ai|coustics, Voice Focus is one of the standout features, enabling users to produce clear, professional-grade vocal output. Whether streaming, podcasting, or attending virtual meetings, ai|coustics' tools help eliminate unwanted noise, room reverb, and echo in acoustically poor environments, ensuring high-quality vocal clarity. Another feature users can look forward to in Wave Link 2.0 is the One-Click Audio Routing. With the tool, users can assign the apps to channels, making it easier to manage multiple channels, alongside App Grouping to have multiple apps in a single input channel, Input Channel Renaming to change channel names, and Channel Hiding to remove unused input for an organized interface. By eliminating the troubleshooting for their setup, the enhancement will help the users focus more on their content. Alongside the One-Click Audio Routing, Wave Link 2.0 will have many audio effects to help creators improve their sound quality. Effects from Elgato, such as Compressor, De-Esser, Equalizer, and ReverbFX, can be used for fine-tuning and third-party plugins like the VST2, VST3, and AU for customization. But users won't have to feel restricted thanks to the Elgato Marketplace, a library of many digital assets made by Elgato and the communities as they offer tools and presets from top creators. After the user has downloaded and tweaked their effects in Wave Link 2.0, they can use a built-in Sound Check Tool to preview their setting in case they need to make any adjustments before livestreaming or attending a meeting. Users with an Elgato Stream Deck can take their audio optimization to the next level when paired with Wave Link 2.0. From a single click, users can export their Wave Link settings to the Stream Deck, automatically adding their audio control to the hardware interface so users can primarily focus on streaming, reading messages, and engaging with the audience without navigating Wave Link 2.0 software. With the launch of Elgato Wave Link 2.0, users can download the software today by visiting the Elgato website to take their audio optimization to the next level.
