The Elgato Stream Deck Mk.2 has been the most recognizable 15-key control deck for years. But creators in 2025 are looking for something more—more information, more efficiency, and more ways to streamline their workflow without changing the familiar 15-key layout.

The Stream Dock 293S builds on the strengths of the Mk.2 while solving one of its biggest limitations: the lack of real-time information display.

With a dedicated info display window and enhanced productivity features, 293S becomes a smarter, more modern upgrade for creators, students, streamers, and professionals.

1. Everything You Love About Stream Deck Mk.2 — With More Intelligence

The 293S keeps the familiar 15 LCD key layout that users love. But instead of stopping there, it adds a smart information window that fundamentally improves day-to-day workflow.

What stays the same:

• 15 fully customizable visual keys
• Folders, actions, macros, shortcuts
• Support for plugins and app integrations

What improves instantly with 293S:

• A dedicated information display window
• More efficient multi-page workflows
• Better usability for productivity, editing, and streaming
• A more modern and informative interface

2. Information Display Window — The Feature Mk.2 Is Missing

Stream Deck Mk.2 forces users to open plugin pop-ups or rely on computer UI for real-time information. 293S solves this elegantly.

The information window can display:

• Current page or profile name
• Timers, counters, clocks
• System info (CPU, RAM, GPU usage)
• Audio levels or mic indicators (with plugins)
• Custom messages or workflow cues

This allows users to focus on what matters—without wasting a key or looking at separate UI panels.

3. More Efficient for Editing, Streaming & Productivity

Since the information window handles system and status feedback, the full 15 keys remain available for actual actions.

For video editors:

• See your current tool mode
• Use all keys for cuts, trims, markers, and playback

For streamers:

• Monitor scene names
• Track mic activity or recording status

For office/productivity users:

• Use the info window as a mini task indicator
• Track timers or Pomodoro cycles

Mk.2 simply cannot display any of this without sacrificing on-screen space.

4. Familiar Workflow, Smaller Learning Curve

293S is easy to adopt because:

• The key layout is identical to Mk.2
• Users can port many workflows with minimal changes
• The added info display improves workflow without requiring retraining

This makes 293S the ideal upgrade for creators who want something better—without rebuilding everything from scratch.

5. Designed for Modern 2025 Desk Setups

293S fits perfectly into a modern creator workflow:

• Compact design
• Clear display feedback
• Better multi-application efficiency
• Cleaner UI thanks to the information window

It enhances both the functional and aesthetic aspects of a workspace.
