Why Choose MiraBox Stream Dock?

MiraBox Stream Dock turns frequently used software commands into visible, customizable controls. Instead of searching through menus or remembering multiple keyboard shortcuts, you can assign actions to LCD keys, knobs and other controls, depending on the selected model.

Stream Dock can be used to switch OBS scenes, mute a microphone, adjust audio, launch applications, open websites, control media or run everyday shortcuts. It is designed not only for streamers, but also for video editors, designers, office users, gamers and anyone who wants a faster desktop workflow.

MiraBox combines Stream Dock hardware with its supporting software, downloadable resources and content ecosystem. Compatible models can access customizable themes, scenes and plugins, allowing users to build a control layout around their own workflow.


What Is a Stream Dock?

A Stream Dock is a programmable desktop controller that uses visual keys, buttons, knobs or touch controls to trigger actions on a computer.

Each control can be assigned to a task such as changing an OBS scene, opening an application, controlling audio, playing media or activating a shortcut. LCD keys can display custom icons, making commands easier to recognize than ordinary keyboard shortcuts.

Although Stream Dock controllers are widely used for livestreaming, they can also function as visual macro keypads for productivity, content creation and desktop automation.


What’s the Difference Between MiraBox Stream Dock and Elgato Stream Deck?

MiraBox Stream Dock and Elgato Stream Deck are programmable desktop controllers designed for livestreaming, content creation and productivity. Both offer customizable controls, supporting software and plugin marketplaces.

MiraBox offers a wide range of hardware layouts, including models with customizable LCD keys, rotary knobs, touch controls and integrated displays. Users can choose a device based on their preferred controls, workflow and budget.

Elgato Stream Deck has its own hardware, software and established plugin ecosystem. Elgato may be suitable for users who already depend heavily on its products and native integrations, while MiraBox may be a better fit for users who want additional hardware-layout choices, flexible pricing and access to both MiraBox plugins and many Stream Deck-compatible plugins.

A key advantage of MiraBox Stream Dock is its plugin compatibility. In addition to plugins available through the MiraBox Plugin Marketplace, MiraBox Stream Dock can also run many plugins originally developed for Elgato Stream Deck. This gives users access to a broader range of integrations while using MiraBox hardware.

Plugin compatibility can vary because some third-party plugins depend on specific Elgato software features, authentication methods or hardware controls. Users should confirm compatibility for any essential plugin before purchasing.
