I just bought the Stream Deck XL for use with a client that wants me to help produce some livestreams. This thing is so cool, so programmable. With the touch of a button, change lighting, cameras, launch sounds, apps, etc. Each button is it's own LCD screen that you can customize as well.
It has 32 buttons, but you can make one button open a new screen of buttons (like a folder)...so the amount of buttons is seemingly eldless.
It automatically changes to different buttons depending on which app you have open.

I'm even using it to launch macros and hotkeys. One tap and it can open the app, launch a new window, add a block of text, etc.
I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of what this thing can do.

I made a hotkey to launch Chrome and open PCF, and used an animated gif of Groundskeeper Willie:

Anyone else using one? Any tips?

I got a first one (MK1) for my SIM (racing) and now I have one on every PC in home & work (the XL is awsome).
This is a no-brainer for anyone that spends more than 2h a day on a computer.

Elgato makes great streaming stuff, I also have 2 key lights that I can dim via the stream deck.

Agreed! I bought the Elgato low-profile boom a couple years ago. At the time, it was the only mic boom that could swing under a monitor instead of way over the top:
