Elgato’s Stream Deck helped popularize using a macro pad among aspiring livestreamers and regular desk jockeys, so it’s only natural for the brand to continue to expand on its lineup. After announcing a suite of new Stream Deck devices last year, Elgato is kicking off 2026 with the Stream Deck + XL, a larger version of the already big Stream Deck XL, and a collection of new audio accessories that should help improve sound mixing in and out of livestreams.

The Stream Deck + XL not only expands on the number of buttons on the regular Stream Deck XL (from 32 customizable buttons to 36 customizable buttons), but also introduces multiple new control options, including a touch strip and six dials. All the controls on the new Stream Deck are customizable, and the presence of the touch strip means you can receive visual feedback about adjustments you’re making while you’re making them. The new macro pad should still work well as a way to quickly end a live stream or queue up a transition, and Elgato says that paired with its new Wave XLR Pro audio interface, the Stream Deck + XL could also become a straightforward tool for sound mixing, too.

The Wave XLR Pro “integrates two fully independent XLR inputs with 80 dB of clean gain each,” Elgato says, along with multiple headphone outputs and “a built-in Maximizer effect” that can maintain consistent loudness. When you’re livestreaming, Elgato’s says the Wave XLR Pro’s “per-channel ducking” can also automatically lower other audio sources when you speak. The XLR Pro is one of several Wave audio products Elgato is announcing alongside the Stream Deck + XL, a lineup which also includes a new condenser microphone and a new way to connect XLR microphones to the company’s smaller Stream Deck. The XLR Dock MK. 2, exclusively compatible with the Stream Deck +, lets you connect professional XLR audio devices directly to your Stream Deck. The Dock “adds 80 dB of clean gain, 48V phantom power, onboard DSP effects, and low-latency VST Insert support,” and can be entirely managed through the Stream Deck’s buttons and dials.

Elgato says both the Stream Deck + XL and the XLR Dock MK. 2 are available to pre-order today for $350 and $130, respectively. The Wave XLR Pro will cost $350 when it launches at some point in Q2 2026.
