StreamDock M18: Born for Control, Designed for Immersive Desktops

Introduction

At VSDinside, we believe a desktop accessory should be more than a tool—it should be an extension of your creativity, efficiency, and personality.

This belief inspired the creation of the StreamDock M18: a screen-based desktop control console, purpose-built for immersive workflows and aesthetic harmony.


A Single-Purpose Console. Executed to Perfection.

Unlike the multi-mode StreamDock N1, which serves as a number pad, calculator, and control panel, the M18 focuses solely on one thing— being an exceptionally designed desktop control console.

Its strength lies in this purity: no distractions, no switching, just seamless control and stunning feedback.

🌈 RGB Light Ring – Atmosphere Made Visible

  • New generation of the M18 features a circular RGB light ring, adding ambient depth to your workspace

  • Supports multiple lighting modes, color cycles, and reactive effects

  • Seamlessly adapts to your creative, gaming, or work environment

🖥 Designed for Setup Harmony
