Short-list: Four Models for Alberton Buyers

Stream Deck Mini (R1,800): 6 LCD keys, USB-C, 160g — ideal for casual streamers or as a gaming macro board. Small enough to sit on a corner of any desk without taking space. Stream Deck MK.2 (R2,800): 15 LCD keys, USB-A, 182g — the most popular model for active Alberton streamers. Handles full streaming workflows (OBS scenes, mute, clips, alerts) in a single 15-key layout. Stream Deck+ (R4,500): 8 LCD keys + 4 rotary touch dials — for audio engineers, video editors, and streamers who need physical knob control over audio levels and editing speed controls. Stream Deck XL (R5,500): 32 LCD keys — professional-grade for streaming setups with 5+ scenes, multi-cam feeds, chatbot triggers, and platform integrations.

ZAR Price vs Feature: What Each Level Gets You

At R1,800 (Mini): 6 keys covers a basic scene switch, mute, and stream start/stop setup. At R2,800 (MK.2): 15 keys adds room for clip saving, alert responses, social triggers, and 2–3 additional scene variants. At R4,500 (Stream Deck+): 8 keys + 4 dials — the dials add audio mixing and editing speed control that the MK.2 cannot replicate. At R5,500 (XL): 32 keys is overkill for most Alberton streamers unless managing complex multi-platform setups with many automation triggers.

Which Model Fits Alberton Use Cases

Casual gamer-streamer (1–2 streams/week): Mini (R1,800). Regular streamer with full scene setup: MK.2 (R2,800). Streamer who also edits video or mixes audio: Stream Deck+ (R4,500). Professional content creator with full automation: XL (R5,500).
