Elgato
Sure, Elgato s Stream Deck MK.2 can organize your desktop apps and make going live on Twitch as easy as pressing a button, but most importantly, it supports a range of adorable faceplates. The Stream Deck MK.2 costs $150 and it s being sold alongside seven new faceplates, priced at $10 each. Elgato showed off the MK.2 today in a new trailer and it s available to order now (yes, so are the faceplates).

The Stream Deck MK.2 has 15 customizable LCD keys that can be connected to PC apps, media tools and specific platforms, with plugins for Twitch, OBS, YouTube, XSplit, Spotify, Philips Hue and others. This allows streamers in particular to set hotkeys for going live, controlling A/V features and interacting with the audience. The icons on the MK.2 are digitally customizable as well.

Elgato has launched a new webcam, with the Elgato Facecam promising pro-level optics from something that can perch on top of your display. It’s part of a range of new streaming and recording focused tech that the company has announced today, including an updated Stream Deck, a new microphone interface, and specialist stands.

While the Facecam may look like a fairly standard webcam, Elgato insists that appearances are deceptive. In fact, there’s a Sony Starvis image sensor inside, capable of Full HD 1080p60 video, and paired with an f/2.4 24mm prime lens.

Ever since the age of the original Game Boy over 30 years ago, Nintendo has dominated the portable gaming space. This trend continues in the modern day, as its latest console, the Nintendo Switch, which is a handheld/docked hybrid and has enjoyed years of market supremacy. The reason why? At the end of the day, there s nothing else like it available.
Notably, though, the Switch does have one key weakness: lackluster tech specs. The console often struggles to play Nintendo s core games at 30 FPS, and significant downgrades have had to be made to many of the other games ported to the system just to get them to run semi-smoothly. Despite this glaring flaw, however, Nintendo has chosen to rest on its laurels instead of developing a Nintendo Switch Pro with more capable hardware (but, hey, there s an OLED version coming. That s cool, I guess).
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was interviewed by Bloomberg Television.
The recent antitrust debates around Big Tech were discussed.
Nadella mentioned Microsoft was able to avoid those debates, for the most part, by being on the right side of history.
Major tech companies have been under increasing scrutiny in recent years, though Microsoft has seemingly walked between the raindrops compared to competitors such as Google and Apple. How has it accomplished this feat? That was the question Emily Chang posed to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella during the pair s Bloomberg Television interview.
Chang mentioned that Microsoft s opponents had told her Microsoft s ability to dodge the crosshairs of lawmakers came down to the company s lobbying capabilities. She then asked for Nadella s response to that claim.
