Loupedeck’s latest customizable creative console, the Loupedeck Live S is now available to buy. It’s designed for streamers, gamers and anyone else looking for more control over their livestreams.
Touchscreen
The main feature of the Loupedeck Live S is the touchscreen. It has fifteen touch-controlled buttons that you can fully customize. You can also configure up to 14 pages of buttons, giving you 210 options in total. To move between pages, you simply swipe the screen. You can personalize the touchscreen display by adjusting the RGB color lights and creating your own static or animated icons. In addition, you can download pre-made icon packs from the Loupedeck Marketplace.
Other controls
As well as the touchscreen, the Loupedeck Live S has four buttons and two dials, all of which are customizable. You can map actions that you regularly use to the buttons or use them to trigger macros. The dials are great for controlling audio levels, and you can also press them to mute your audio. However, you can also use them to zoom in and out of applications or simply to scroll within a browser window. In addition, you can swipe up and down on the touchscreen to switch between multiple dial configuration pages.
