The type of person who wants more gadgets on their desktop might be interested in the Loupedeck Live (opens in new tab). It's a kind of shortcut wiz, with lots of dedicated buttons and knobs that can be configured for use in various apps; for PC gamers, it could be put to good use as a streaming console like the Elgato Stream Deck, but it's also useful for content creation.

I've touched the Loupedeck a lot, at least a little, for my 2021 review. In it, I called it "what I wanted: a comprehensive device that requires minimal daily upkeep." Also, the software is simpler and better than it was then.

For one more day, the Loupedeck Live is cheaper than usual: it's on sale at Amazon (opens in new tab) for $229, a $40 savings. It is also available on Amazon UK for £199 (opens in new tab), a savings of £30 off the original price. [The Loupedeck + is $229 (opens in new tab), and the Loupedeck Creative Tool is $499 (opens in new tab).

The bad news is that the sale expires today, September 29, so you'll have to be pretty quick to secure it at this low price. That said, I have a feeling that Loupedeck will get a similar $40 discount during Black Friday as it did last year (opens in new tab). Even if you are reading this article late, if you wait until late November, there is a good chance you can still get this price.
