Once again the Razer Stream Controller X is powered by Loupedeck’s software, just like the earlier Stream Controller.

I put it through its paces primarily as a tool for Twitch streaming but also for some general PC tasks and editing shortcuts. While testing the Stream Controller X, I swapped out my Stream Deck and tried to recreate the experience. I’ve been streaming consistently with a MK1 Elgato Stream Deck for probably five years so using a device like this is second nature at this point. It takes a concerted effort to pick it up and move - great stuff. No matter how hard I tried, even from off-centre, the X never shifted. I actually checked to see if I’d missed something and this was a single-use 3M pad, it’s not by the way.
The base is one giant friction pad that does an almost unbelievable job at keeping the Stream Controller X in place. It’s a fixed viewing angle but sits just right for me, or you can pop it off with a satisfying magnetic click and lay it (nearly) flat on your desk. Compared to the flimsy plastic bar of the original Stream Controller, this one is beefy and noticeably sturdy. One real strength of the Razer Stream Controller X is the stand. A metal faceplate would have been welcome given the $149.99/£149.99 price point, however, the plain black plastic faceplate does pop off which hints at customizable options down the line so I’ll give Razer the benefit of the doubt for now. While everything feels suitably premium for a Razer product, it’s a shame to find an all-plastic body on the Stream Controller X.
