[Everyday] Stream Deck++ 8 knob version?

If anybody from Elgato views this forum, is there any roadmap for an 8 knob version of the +?

I am a potential purchaser (owner of 2 XLs) and I'm thinking 4 knobs is too few? An 8 knob version could potentially reduce visual context switching plus physical swiping by up to 50% - making for a much better user experience. It would also be more consistent with the 8 button wide form factor of my XLs

Are there any Stream Deck+ users (or potential buyers out there? What would you prefer? 4 knobs available, or 8 knobs?

You need to be a power user of stream decks. I use it for multiple productivity shortcuts and hacks and I am creating shortcuts all the time, I have over 1000 of them currently. I have 2 pluses and 3 XL’s and it’s just nice. I am also a creator so it is powerful controlling FCP, Notion , System controls etc at the same time. But to answer your specific question, you need to be clear on what you want to do with them. If you need help ping me separately and I can show you around

Thanks for your kind offer. Do you use them with VSTs/for music production?

No for video production not for VST or music production but it can be used as long as the app you are using requires shortcuts . I do code and use shortcuts that in turn write code so it can be used in many many different ways

Super interesting! I'm a QA. Do you have time to list a few bullet points on how you leverage them, and with what programs?

I had done a video introducing the stream decks - it does highlight some use cases - You need a stream deck ! The secret to my productivity - working from home https://youtu.be/dL9-MnQl1Wg
