Here at The Verge, we’re big Stream Deck fans. However, Elgato’s programmable macro controllers can be pricey, with the Stream Deck XL and Deck Plus retailing for $249.99 and $199.99, respectively. If you want something more affordable for streamlining your workflow, the Elgato Stream Deck Neo is currently matching its all-time low of $84.99 ($15 off) at Best Buy, Target, and directly from Elgato.

Although you can program Elgato’s compact Neo to perform a variety of shortcuts in macOS or Windows, it comes preloaded with some common actions right out the gate. It sports eight customizable LCD buttons — as opposed to the six on the like-minded last-gen Stream Deck Mini — allowing you to control your smart lights, join or mute a video call, pause notifications in Slack, or perform an infinite number of tasks with the press of a button. The handy desk companion also introduces two capacitive buttons, letting you easily cycle through a number of macro pages with ease as well as a glanceable info display at the bottom so you can keep track of the time and date as you’re working or streaming.

A few more deals to start your day

• Now through August 23rd, you can buy the Board Game Night With Dire Wolf & Friends Humble Bundle for as little as $18 from Humble, with all proceeds going toward the World Wildlife Fund. Along with DLC for select titles, the bundle includes digital PC versions of nine award-winning board games from a wide range of genres, so you can conquer Arrakis in Dune: Imperium or the vast wilderness in Root. If you’re looking for something more relaxing, you can even build your own ecosystem in the bird-themed Wingspan, which our sister site Polygon included in their list of the best board games of 2023.
• The latest iPad Mini is on sale at Amazon with Wi-Fi and 64GB of storage starting at $379.99 ($119 off), which matches the all-time low we saw during Prime Day. The 8.3-inch tablet is the smallest and most comfortable model in Apple’s lineup, which makes it well suited for both reading and travel. And while Apple’s A15 Bionic chip is getting a little stale, it’s still snappy enough for web browsing, watching TV, and everyday tablet things. Read our review.
• Samsung’s Galaxy Buds FE are down to $74.99 ($25 off) at Amazon, which is $5 shy of their lowest price to date. For a pair of wireless earbuds that cost less than a Benjamin, the FE offer great noise cancellation and solid audio performance. The well-designed earbuds also come with two pairs of silicone wing tips for a more secure fit, though you do lose out on multipoint connectivity, wireless charging, and some of the more premium features that have been trickling down to value-based earbuds in recent years.
