Elgato's new pedal gives streamers hands-free control over their apps

If you are a streamer, you cannot always reach for your keyboard to make a scene or effect. You might not have to. Elgato has released a Stream Deck Pedal that provides three foot pedals to steer your apps and other broadcasting tools hands-free. You can change cameras, start an OBS transition, or otherwise control your stream in a stealthy manner.

You can set app-specific profiles if you have a lot of tools and are constantly juggling them. If you prefer a delicate tap or a firm stomp, you can adjust pedal pressure. Elgato wants to point out the use of hotkeys for software that can be used for offline creative work.

Elgato has introduced a new tool for Stream Deck devices. You can use any of the Corsair brand's peripherals to change channels, use push-to-talk, or navigate a server.

The Stream Deck Pedal is a bargain. If you are building a full-time career or just want to add some polish that brings in more viewers, it could be worth it. If you don't have a PC, you can use this to perform a simple task.
