If you wanna go budget buy some chinese stuff of amazon or those alie or teemu apps. You want crap you pay crap. Its still a step lower as their regular products.
They're all like 1/3 off the normal line of products. If you're getting 1 of everything, it's a difference of $200, which if you're buying your first setup can be the difference between a mid range GPU and a higher end one
At first glance, that's what I thought too. But looking at the Wave:3 without anything, it's almost double what the Wave:neo is. And the Wave:neo has a big metal stand, which is pretty good, and then later down the line, if you want an arm, then you can get the arm, and attach the Wave:neo to it. And you also the the amazing software from Elgato. Which I use, and love.
the worst deal for the customer should be your first offering. your second deal is best for you and your customer. The third deal is your mega package that only a few crazy ones would want. But the prices for first package should be 100 % cost to value the second package should be 90% costs to value the third package should be 85-90% cost to value.
I think it is easy to forget that older products mean more savings and a fair few second-hand options. My Wave:3 was used, but you wouldn't have known except for a very slightly abused box. Also, it was cheaper than a Wave:1 and came with both pop filter and shock mount. And I got my Stream Deck in a flash sale on Amazon. Not sure we'll see many of those on the Neo range for a while.
the info screen on the Streamdeck Neo is kinda neat. would be nice if they give us the option to use a normal button as an info screen on the other Streamdecks. Maybe even with an action underneath it. for example it shows the current subscribers on youtube, and when I press the button it opens youtube in my browser.
Honestly I prefer this way over just putting a button on the Deck. I have one on my for time and another for viewers buut for time, it's quite small and I'm sure I could extend it to take up two panels. But now that's two panels gone haha.
Not sure if this webcam is any better than C920E for $35 or Anker C200 for $40. The sample you shoot does not look any good. Yes, I see the disclaimer, but then there's no point in the comparison.
@@CodeVenomSnakes Right, but why should anybody care? The review is here. The only conclusion I can make from it is that camera is garbage for the money. And I am not sure why you think resolution matters, Full HD is totally fine. It depends on how it looks. C200 is 2K btw.
@@sayyestosporks Such a silly comment, Costly dont mean good. You are paying for a brand. You can get plenty of AMAZING mics under $30 for example neewer nw7000 cost $18 and sounds better than most $140 mics But your fantasy is awesome! :)
Having removable cables is currently cheaper to manufacture than integrated cables. With removable cables you can buy them pre terminated by the lot (economy of scale), making the cable cheaper. This difference easily pays the USB-C connector, which costs 1~1.5 USD for a high quality one (in quantity), and the connector can be soldered to the board on the same process as the other components, not adding to the cost. It is less about cutting costs, and more about making you buy a new product when it's cable eventually fails, as most people are not tech savvy enough to replace the cable.
That's pretty much what I was thinking. The only reason I ever swapped off my Logitech C920 or whatever it's called (the one everyone uses) was because the cable died randomly. I don't know how a webcam that was plugged in for a few years randomly has a dead cable, but it happened. I ended up switching to the Razer Kyo Pro or whatever that one is called. I like it a lot for my needs and the cable is USB-C and replaceable. TBH though that stream deck neo if I get it and the cable dies in a few years, I'm completely okay with trying to solder a new one on myself. It's technically broken E-waste at that point if they don't replace it, so why not just try?
Having the page buttons built into the cheapo stream deck really does it for me. Typically I don't need access to more than 6 at a time despite having 18 binds, and I use pages to separate them already. This new 8 button stream deck could certainly be my future keyboard companion as a replacement for a keyboard with macro keys. Haven't dabbled with a streamdeck yet though so I don't know if it's a perfect replacement for icue's macro integration.
Tbh, I would just go to other places for WAY cheaper products like Fifine for the mic; AmpliGame AM8 is a great option with both USB and XLR. Avermedia for the webcam, and again Avermedia for the Capture card, the only thing I suggest is the Stream Deck. If you're gonna stay in the Elgato eco system, the Neo products are great options.
This isn't really that budget. I mean in a lot of instances there is like a $10 difference between these and the more expensive models. Like the Wave 3 mic for instance. This seems like a confusing release. The Stream deck doesn't even have a removable cable which is a huge annoyance. The capture card is basically a last gen 1080p card. Someone compared it to the EVGA xR-1 lite and said the EVGA still provides better value even though it can't be fount at its $59 price point anymore and is usualy closer to $90. I got mine for $35. For $99 you can get a small rig actual light that will probably serve you better then this little led light as well.
@@shockthetoast I paid $99 for mine. It is on sale all the time. Can be found very often for $105 or $110 from Amazon or even Elgato themselves. Elgato also usually has coupons in addition that you can google for to take like 10 percent off. There is a reason the Wave 1 mic was discontinued. It was because the Wave 3 kept falling into its price category when on sale.
@@jonny4036 there are a lot of countries especially in europe where amazon is not really an option, and conparing to a sale you bought it from doesnt make sense. i could say that i bought one used for 40 dollars so its cheaper than the neo...
Cheaper items: Microphone: Snowball Ice $39 Webcam: Logitech c920 $45 Keylight: DIY roughly $20 if that Streamdeck: Sammi software $0 and put it on your phone
Completely forgot about the Snowball mic. Aslo for $50 you can get a c930e in some places, which is much better. But you could also use your phone for free with VDO / OBS ninja. Which I recently realized works better, than my c930e. Key light wise, just get a 24inch china lantern, hands down the best lighting for cheap. Never heard of sammi, but yeah. There's that, touch portal, and stream deck mobile (free on apple but limit on android. Cheap monthly)
PLUG & PLAY!!! FINALLY!!! I have a multi-system setup on my desk for work and gaming. I have multiple pieces of elgato equipment couldn't use for work because I wasn't allowed to install the software for security reasons.
Ngl, I feel like these are also very valid options for people who travel a lot and also want to stream, but they don't want to carry expensive stuff with them in case the tools get stolen
These are junk. It's the same overpriced terrible value only at a budget so you don't even get something with quality. - They will probably sell well to people who don't know any better and they known that. Which just adds an extra level of disgust for me. But the software you say? yeah, welcome to the walled garden. First hits cheap, just put on these handcu- I ah mean Wrist Bands... These are a hard pass for me and I wish Harris would take a more serious critical look at products like these or at LEAST give context with the stroke. You can get a Fifine mic with arm/shock mount/pop filter together for half the price of this. These elgato products didn't get "really cheap" They DO NOT compete with any of the budget offerings from even 5 years ago. They are discounted models meant to convert consumers into the walled garden. Mic = Fifine Cam Emeet or Nexigo or even Razer Kiyo Lighting? There's a PLETHORA of Ring lights for 30-50 bucks that are Just as good. RandomFrankP has featured them on $50 roundups multiple times. Stream Deck? there's SO MANY ways of doing this for cheap to free it's not even funny. This is not a beginner or budget item. I remember hearing the advice to not spend hundreds of dollars on equipment that may never give you a return. None of this is a honest look at these products in the budget space or for beginners and I am very disappointed.
Just for comparison, you can buy an ENTIRE Studio Professional photography Lighting KIT for $120 Kit Includes：2 x Single Lamp Head (US Standard Wire 1.8m) 2 x 33 Inch White Umbrella 2 x 33 Inch Black Silver Umbrella 1 x 33 Inch Black Gold Umbrella 5 x 65w Photography Light Bulbs 3 x 1.8 * 2.8 Meters Polyster Fabrics(Black, White, Green) 6 x Fish Mouth Clip (Black) 1 x 6.5*10feet Background Frame 5 x 78 Inch Light Stand 1 x Carring Bag 3 x 5070 Single Lamp Softbox 1 x 60cm 5 in 1 Reflector Panel Or for LESS THAN the keylight neo you can buy dual softbox Lighting KIT with the stands and everything...

Hey Harris - With all the new stuff out, it would be really helpful for you to share your ideal setup for two PCs including audio interfaces and an explanation of the connection. Just an idea. Thanks for being the badass that helps me to make my final decision on a lot of fun things!
All of those could've been around $50 per item for much better value since state of streaming overall around the world is quite scuffed atm. I'll wait.
Something random and unrelated to the topic of the video but I feel like with your cartographer mouse pads you could make a sorta smoke grey and a off-white sorta cream colour one aswell but I'd also love to see some in other colours like maybe pastels maybe like an orange, green, blue, red, pink and purple. Could really fit with more setups and tie in well
I just proposed a new product to Elgato that also addresses the target group of content creators including advanced streamers but also trainers, presenters and people in video conferences who strive for high-level quality. I hope if this ever becomes a project they’ll reach out to you for advice during the product development phase.
Would love to have a round up of these products compared to the most popular "budget" options. They appear to be a decent value compared to Elgato, but what about compared to other options at these prices?
Honestly, I think the keylight is nice. and the Streamdeck .. but the mic, and camera are nothing amazing. It's nice if people want to say "Oh I have all Elgato stuff!" for the street cred (is there streamer street cred?) but otherwise there are options out there that are just as good for around the same price. I'm always looking for good lighting options. Because some of these lights ... yeeesh ... expensive!
The mic might be the only good thing. Might... You can still get a c930e for close to $50. If you have a modern smart phone you can use it with VDO / OBS ninja for free. If you have an extra old smart phone, you can use stream deck mobile touch portal for little to nothing. Light wise, if you're gonna be in your room, just get a Govee smart build and a 24inch china lantern and you'll have some solid light (I used to use my alienbees, but they take up so much room) plus it saves a lot of space. If you have the budget just get a 4 pack on sale and you'll have an amazing set up. If you need a mic, honestly a $50 deity video mic for your phone could work wonders. Lastly capture card wise, maybe a Vivatar can link could be just fine for $20. For $150 or much less you could have a killer set up. Especially if you know how to use the VDO / OBS ninja controls for your phone. Once you dial in the proper exposure and such, then dial in the lights a tiny bit. You can have something pretty amazing. Or you could just let it use the auto functions and get away with very little light needed!
Just came to a realization that it would be GREAT if they made the capture card a USB Hub, so that you can plug in the Mic, Camera, light and Stream Deck into one place.
Camera.. so far.. doesnt look any better than a logitch cam. We'll see if they fix it. The mic... Why would i get that when other similar priced options are available like the RØDE NT-USB Mini or the Blue Yeti USB? Might need an audio comparison. The light is... 'ok'. But what id like to know is, when plugging it in your PC.. 1, does it get enough power from the USB port? (do they say not to plug it into a pc?) If so, can you control it via software without connecting the light to the network?
The only real advancement of their products that I see here is the Stream Deck. While they already have the Stream Deck mini, the new "buttons" on the Neo are something they need to integrate into all their Stream Decks. I would love dedicated buttons to switch folders and the little display bar has so much potential if they can allow you to customize what it displays. You can already customize Stream Deck buttons quite a bit so I'm not sure why this wouldn't follow suit. But let's be honest, the mic and webcam markets are already over saturated with product options. I don't see the new mic or webcam really making waves in the market. The light is probably the only thing I would consider buying from this product lineup as the front-facing buttons and control knob would be really handy. There's nothing special about the capture card at all so I don't see that being a big seller. I also don't like my hardware to be white, I prefer black hardware but that's just a personal preference.
I actually wanted a way to use my gaming laptop as a monitor to connect my console to it without any extra input lag because i dont have a monitor with HDMI input but all capture cards have high input delay so i thought this was just not a thing. Now im hearing you say just get a UVC Capture Card?! I never heard of this before.
Not to be negative cuz, YB? So let's start with a positive. The neo light is great! I am using it as a fill light in my 'lives' work station along with my Elgato Key Light and the even lighting, temperature, and brightness controls that work with Elgato Control Center & Stream Deck, combined with the actual buttons on the light itself are superb. MY 'fix me' on it would be this : My monitors are big and also elevated by a stand, , In order to angle the light down enough to get the coverage I wanted I had to let it fall off my monitor enought times, say enough bad words, and eventually break out the velcro and erm, DUCT TAPE, cuz gravity is still a thing. I would still recommend it, just plan ahead if you need to angle it down more than a tiny bit.
In sales "cheap" is not a good term. Inexpensive is a better term . I'm just saying, some people do not want to buy "cheap" things because that term is synonymous with bad quality.
I love your syth-wave style music for streaming , however you have someone claiming content id ownership of your music, so i have had to stop using it on youtube. I hope you can get that resolved. (Optimal SUS, The Grid, and Race) are song examples. All that aside, I appreciate your work both in sound and video content creation.
Harris! I deadass could not find your channel. Why did you change your channel name to Senpai Gaming? I could not find this channel for the life of me. I kept looking up Alpha Gaming and thought you deleted the channel or something.
If they're aiming at WFH people who make video calls a lot, this feels a little late to the party. The keen will have already sprung for hardware (I did) and the enthusiasts will already have hardware (I did...). Unless they're getting the jump on gaming companies who might be about to do this.
Went to go check out the Black with white line version of that mousepad and nordvpn marks your?/the page as unsafe due to malware.... just thought I'd let you know as I'd like to believe thats a false positive
I don't know about the age thing, it's been a while since I've watched one of your videos. Your little girl hasn't grown up up yet and off to college and it's doesn't look like your hair is falling out yet? LOL Anyway, I think it depends on the circumstances on the analog controls. Analog audio mixer scare the shit out of me because of all the controls. It's not like on a digital mixer where you could easily load up a save profile or go back to the default setting. In that circumstance, I wouldn't choose analog. For the light you've shown, yeah ... something simple like that I'm ok with analog controls.
yeahh .. 100 $ range is still not cheap . if you combine them thats around 400 $ . i was expecting prices around 40$ - 50$ at least , that would be the real deal
Really the price difference isnt THAT large between this new "budget line" and their normal wave mics, or streamdeck mk2, etc. Throughout the year you can find the normal line on sale for these prices if not lower too
I definitely don't think wanting analog controls is an "old person" thing. It's simply more convienant to actually be able to just reach over and change something, rather than having to grab your phone, load up the application, select the light, change the settings, then have to put it away afterward. A dial is just way better.
@@CodeVenomSnakes While that may be true, not many people actually need a 60fps web cam. Also you can get 200$ phones with better cameras than what these 100-200$ webcams offer. So 100$ isn't still isn't cheap it still is too much, it should cost 50-60$ at the most.
Wish they made black versions of this. My office setup theme is darker, but I could definitely use this with work but its going to bug me being off theme
If you want to be a content creator or have a remote job where you want to sound and look nice during presentation, this is good. Price is not bad and you get decent quality. Is it for the mainstream gamer without a job? Nope. And it should not be. Starting a business is about investing and saving
The only problem i have is only white, why? they had a surplus of white plastic they needed to get rid of? would have been really for the budget oriented if they had both choices as i'm sure the majority would go with black if it was available.
I don't think cheap is the correct description but it is a nicer entry point. The thing people should remember is elgato is a higher quality brand and the price reflects that. If someone wants truly - cheap - you're not going to get the elgato quality.
As someone who doesn't really focus on live content, Stream Decks have never really felt like a huge value add. If they add an option to have a live sub count on the mini screen, I'd definitely pick one up.
ah yes, "cheap"... Just because the price is much lower doesn't mean it's cheap but its great that there's an option for people who don't want to spend as much
I just got paid and thought of buying myself a mic but bow im more excited to get that elgato mic, lighting and stream deck. The camera i have a nexigo but idk if i need to up the cam to a new one but i definetly need a new mic.
I find it a shame as all of these things are white. A lot of gamers and streamers really care a lot about their color scheme and this is just not compatible with most of them. I hope they release all of this in black soon too
I'm not really a streamer or have any experience with decks so I would be interested in the Neo deck just to get use to one and to see how I like them.
I can understand the usb-A for the light because like you said if this is for the average or new person to streaming it is probably easier to find a brick that accepts usb-A in comparison to usb-C to plug into the wall.
With RUclips's new layout, is everyone going to have to get used to saying, "Now leave your comment... somewhere..... off to the side?" Whatever. Thanks for the reviews!

Would love to have a round up of these products compared to the most popular "budget" options. They appear to be a decent value compared to Elgato, but what about compared to other options at these prices?
Nobody is on Skype anymore. It was awesome back in the early 2000's, but then Microsoft bought them and, well,...............
Computer aint cheep!!
Honestly, I think the keylight is nice. and the Streamdeck .. but the mic, and camera are nothing amazing. It's nice if people want to say "Oh I have all Elgato stuff!" for the street cred (is there streamer street cred?) but otherwise there are options out there that are just as good for around the same price.
I'm always looking for good lighting options. Because some of these lights ... yeeesh ... expensive!
Honestly, that camera image look like junk
Everything is cheap when your streaming audiancevis 90% of your income.
The mic might be the only good thing. Might...
You can still get a c930e for close to $50. If you have a modern smart phone you can use it with VDO / OBS ninja for free. If you have an extra old smart phone, you can use stream deck mobile touch portal for little to nothing.
Light wise, if you're gonna be in your room, just get a Govee smart build and a 24inch china lantern and you'll have some solid light (I used to use my alienbees, but they take up so much room) plus it saves a lot of space.
If you have the budget just get a 4 pack on sale and you'll have an amazing set up.
If you need a mic, honestly a $50 deity video mic for your phone could work wonders.
Lastly capture card wise, maybe a Vivatar can link could be just fine for $20.
For $150 or much less you could have a killer set up.
Especially if you know how to use the VDO / OBS ninja controls for your phone. Once you dial in the proper exposure and such, then dial in the lights a tiny bit. You can have something pretty amazing.
Or you could just let it use the auto functions and get away with very little light needed!
Just came to a realization that it would be GREAT if they made the capture card a USB Hub, so that you can plug in the Mic, Camera, light and Stream Deck into one place.
Camera.. so far.. doesnt look any better than a logitch cam. We'll see if they fix it.
The mic... Why would i get that when other similar priced options are available like the RØDE NT-USB Mini or the Blue Yeti USB? Might need an audio comparison.
The light is... 'ok'. But what id like to know is, when plugging it in your PC.. 1, does it get enough power from the USB port? (do they say not to plug it into a pc?) If so, can you control it via software without connecting the light to the network?
That Stream deck neo is a huge W, the mini has too little buttons. They definitely needed one in between the mini and regular stream deck
Two weeks ago my wife started a new job. Small compan, 8 people including the owner. Skype is their internal communicator. In 2024:)
The only real advancement of their products that I see here is the Stream Deck. While they already have the Stream Deck mini, the new "buttons" on the Neo are something they need to integrate into all their Stream Decks. I would love dedicated buttons to switch folders and the little display bar has so much potential if they can allow you to customize what it displays. You can already customize Stream Deck buttons quite a bit so I'm not sure why this wouldn't follow suit. But let's be honest, the mic and webcam markets are already over saturated with product options. I don't see the new mic or webcam really making waves in the market. The light is probably the only thing I would consider buying from this product lineup as the front-facing buttons and control knob would be really handy. There's nothing special about the capture card at all so I don't see that being a big seller. I also don't like my hardware to be white, I prefer black hardware but that's just a personal preference.
There's no reason a pop filter, especially a smaller one, should be $18.
I actually wanted a way to use my gaming laptop as a monitor to connect my console to it without any extra input lag because i dont have a monitor with HDMI input
but all capture cards have high input delay so i thought this was just not a thing.
Now im hearing you say just get a UVC Capture Card?!
I never heard of this before.
Not to be negative cuz, YB? So let's start with a positive. The neo light is great! I am using it as a fill light in my 'lives' work station along with my Elgato Key Light and the even lighting, temperature, and brightness controls that work with Elgato Control Center & Stream Deck, combined with the actual buttons on the light itself are superb. MY 'fix me' on it would be this : My monitors are big and also elevated by a stand, , In order to angle the light down enough to get the coverage I wanted I had to let it fall off my monitor enought times, say enough bad words, and eventually break out the velcro and erm, DUCT TAPE, cuz gravity is still a thing. I would still recommend it, just plan ahead if you need to angle it down more than a tiny bit.
In sales "cheap" is not a good term. Inexpensive is a better term . I'm just saying, some people do not want to buy "cheap" things because that term is synonymous with bad quality.
I love your syth-wave style music for streaming , however you have someone claiming content id ownership of your music, so i have had to stop using it on youtube. I hope you can get that resolved. (Optimal SUS, The Grid, and Race) are song examples. All that aside, I appreciate your work both in sound and video content creation.
Harris! I deadass could not find your channel. Why did you change your channel name to Senpai Gaming? I could not find this channel for the life of me. I kept looking up Alpha Gaming and thought you deleted the channel or something.
If they're aiming at WFH people who make video calls a lot, this feels a little late to the party. The keen will have already sprung for hardware (I did) and the enthusiasts will already have hardware (I did...). Unless they're getting the jump on gaming companies who might be about to do this.
Hmmm...honestly, just the Deck seems interesting. The rest just still looks and feels cheap and overpriced for what you are really getting.
🤘
Even in the unfinished state of the FaceCam Neo during 4:26 of this video, it is still 100x better than the webcam on my M1 MacBook Pro 😂
The Key Light Neo is just what I am looking for! I am super stoked about this!
Went to go check out the Black with white line version of that mousepad and nordvpn marks your?/the page as unsafe due to malware.... just thought I'd let you know as I'd like to believe thats a false positive
Funny how they advertise being at target. I got my HD60S+ in 2020 at a target lol
I don't know about the age thing, it's been a while since I've watched one of your videos. Your little girl hasn't grown up up yet and off to college and it's doesn't look like your hair is falling out yet? LOL Anyway, I think it depends on the circumstances on the analog controls. Analog audio mixer scare the shit out of me because of all the controls. It's not like on a digital mixer where you could easily load up a save profile or go back to the default setting. In that circumstance, I wouldn't choose analog. For the light you've shown, yeah ... something simple like that I'm ok with analog controls.
yeahh .. 100 $ range is still not cheap .
if you combine them thats around 400 $
. i was expecting prices around 40$ - 50$ at least , that would be the real deal
Really the price difference isnt THAT large between this new "budget line" and their normal wave mics, or streamdeck mk2, etc. Throughout the year you can find the normal line on sale for these prices if not lower too
I definitely don't think wanting analog controls is an "old person" thing. It's simply more convienant to actually be able to just reach over and change something, rather than having to grab your phone, load up the application, select the light, change the settings, then have to put it away afterward. A dial is just way better.
actually just bought my wave neo and i like it a lot better than the AT2020 xlr i was using
90$ for a microphone and 100$ for a webcam is NOT cheap.
That is normal for today price but you can get webcam cheaper then that but only at 1080p 30fps
@@CodeVenomSnakes While that may be true, not many people actually need a 60fps web cam. Also you can get 200$ phones with better cameras than what these 100-200$ webcams offer. So 100$ isn't still isn't cheap it still is too much, it should cost 50-60$ at the most.
Wish they made black versions of this. My office setup theme is darker, but I could definitely use this with work but its going to bug me being off theme
If you want to be a content creator or have a remote job where you want to sound and look nice during presentation, this is good. Price is not bad and you get decent quality.
Is it for the mainstream gamer without a job? Nope. And it should not be. Starting a business is about investing and saving
The only problem i have is only white, why? they had a surplus of white plastic they needed to get rid of? would have been really for the budget oriented if they had both choices as i'm sure the majority would go with black if it was available.
🎉
I don't think cheap is the correct description but it is a nicer entry point. The thing people should remember is elgato is a higher quality brand and the price reflects that. If someone wants truly - cheap - you're not going to get the elgato quality.
As someone who doesn't really focus on live content, Stream Decks have never really felt like a huge value add.
If they add an option to have a live sub count on the mini screen, I'd definitely pick one up.
And just like Logitech, overpriced and not worth the money.
Ngl that streamdeck being at that price means i can finally justify buying one.
I'm thinkin I might want to go to Target tomorrow cause I kinda want one of those lights, ngl
wish I had the money to think 100$ is pocket change, I work a full time job too
ah yes, "cheap"... Just because the price is much lower doesn't mean it's cheap but its great that there's an option for people who don't want to spend as much
I have to think that the webcam is not competing against other webcams, but rather against the Macbook webcam.
100$ was the n1 webcam years ago, now it’s the cheap one 😂😂😂
*my single braincell trying to think of funny thought to put here*
6:30 YES! We need to bring back more tactility to our technology.
I just got paid and thought of buying myself a mic but bow im more excited to get that elgato mic, lighting and stream deck. The camera i have a nexigo but idk if i need to up the cam to a new one but i definetly need a new mic.
I find it a shame as all of these things are white. A lot of gamers and streamers really care a lot about their color scheme and this is just not compatible with most of them. I hope they release all of this in black soon too

🤣😂
Leaving an emoticon comment before Harris tells me to do so:
🤔
I haven't got the Stream Deck, so I have question to ask: is the Stream Deck Neo worth it?
ngl it kinda looks like the logitech cloud set (g175)
My Wife is going to love these when I get them for her.. maybe ;-)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hasn't used all their buttons on the streamdeck.
I thought you said you were leaving RUclips and going to Rumble. I mean you made a big deal about it yet here you are 2 yrs later.
Was waiting for this video to come out. Nice one!
I'm not really a streamer or have any experience with decks so I would be interested in the Neo deck just to get use to one and to see how I like them.
you need to use the neo or other mic as your main they sound way better compared to the shure you are using or switch up the mix on the shure.
I love this product lineup honestly.
Does anyone know if you can use the Wavelink software with this neo mic?
I can understand the usb-A for the light because like you said if this is for the average or new person to streaming it is probably easier to find a brick that accepts usb-A in comparison to usb-C to plug into the wall.
this guy stole my idea apple watch mix match strap lol I got the black and pink mix I like the panda tho
haha
Hmm, that Streamdeck Neo is looking preeeettty good
They better make black versions of the Neo series. Not sure why they started with white.
kinda wished these budget options also came in standard black tbh
no bIack version?
Same here they need to make the whole set in black.
Awesome cause inflation just keeps getting worst
I don't want the hardware that requires software.
With RUclips's new layout, is everyone going to have to get used to saying, "Now leave your comment... somewhere..... off to the side?" Whatever. Thanks for the reviews!
Skip to this next video, then this one, how bout this one, no THIIS one
Looks like Elgato is going all in for entry level streamers 🎉
Stream Deck Neo looks like an interesting prospect.
Wait what's that with using the Ipad as the screen? How do you do that?
18 bucks for a colored piece of foam on a budget mic is wild
