Stream Deck Models Compared

All 6 models run all 117 profiles — nothing here is sold per device. What changes between them is keys per page, and therefore how often you step into a folder to reach the shortcut you wanted. Measured against this catalog's 9,015 shortcuts rather than in the abstract.

Every profile in the catalog, and how many pages it needs on that device.

• Stream Deck Mini 3 × 2 · 6 keys
• Stream Deck Neo 4 × 2 · 8 keys
• Stream Deck MK.2 5 × 3 · 15 keys
• Stream Deck XL 8 × 4 · 32 keys
• Stream Deck + 4 × 2 · 8 keys + 4 dials
• Stream Deck + XL 6 × 6 · 36 keys + 6 dials

Which Stream Deck is best for ready-made profiles?

The one with the most keys you will pay for, because keys per page is what decides how much folder-walking a profile costs you. On the Stream Deck XL, 12 of the 117 profiles fit on a single page; on the Mini, 0. Every profile still installs on every model — the difference is how many pages it spreads over, never what it contains.

Do I need the Stream Deck + for the dials?

Only if you want them. Ten profiles in the catalog bind dial actions — scrubbing, volume, parameter sweeps — and those bindings ship on the Stream Deck + and Stream Deck + XL models. A profile with dial actions installs perfectly well on a keys-only device; it simply arrives without that section.

Is one profile purchase good for every device?

Yes. Each download carries a .streamDeckProfile per device and per theme inside each platform's folder, so one purchase covers all 6 models on both macOS and Windows. Nothing here is sold per device.
