I looked at the prices of SSDs for Amazon Prime Day on Tuesday, but on the last day of Amazon, Summer Amazon Prime Day for 2026, I looked up what editing control surfaces might be available for a deal. And there are a bunch!

Not a bad deal for the Logitech MX Creative Console. Looks like about 50 bucks off. I reviewed this one, and while not a complete replacement for the Loopdeck CT, it holds its own. Though I’ve recently had trouble connecting the dial pad. 😠 You can also get it in gray.

TourBox always has a ton of prime day deals, and this year is no exception. You can read my TourBox review before deciding on which one you might want below.
- TourBox Neo is the wired version for $135
- TourBox Elite is the wireless version for $201
- TourBox Lite is a more compact and cheaper wired version for $76

The new XP-Pen Pilot Pro is a funky new wireless control surface that’s got a big joystick and a rotary dial as well as a bunch of buttons. We’ve mentioned it here on PVC, but I have yet to review it, which I hope to do soon. I’m intrigued by the form factor.

This is a pretty good price for the Stream Deck +. And Stream Deck does make really good hardware. I’ve reviewed this Dream Deck +, and I actually did not like it very much for editing, especially with the Adobe Apps, because the dials don’t have any direct hooks into the Adobe products like Premiere. I can’t for the life of me figure out why Elgato hasn’t made better controls with this thing for the Adobe apps, despite telling me at NAB 2025 they were in the process of doing just that. 🤷♂️ pro?

Despite the shortcomings of the Stream Deck +, this is a really good deal on the Stream Deck XL, and it’s all I can do not to hit Buy Now!

The ULANZI D200X Creative Deck is a new addition to the editing control surface. It looks like a cross between a Stream Deck and a Loupedeck that also doubles as a hub, and I’ve been intrigued about this one since I first read about it. I’m most curious about how the software might integrate, but the idea that it sort of provides a hub is quite useful.

This Elgato Stream Deck Pedal has been around forever, and while I’ve never used one, I’ve always been curious as to what it might bring to the table when it comes to editing. That said, I’m probably not going to buy it.

I don’t know anything about the VSDinside Stream Controller Deck other than to say it looks like a cheap knock off of you guessed it, the Stream Deck, since that’s right there in the name. I have no idea about the software that runs it, but looking at their info on the Amazon page, they make it look like it’s the greatest thing ever. Am I intrigued enough to buy it? 🤔 Maybe.

What the heck is this thing? The TreasLin Stream Controller Deck? Is there a factory that just pumps out variations on these things based on a CAD drawing that you then silk-screen print your logo on? does Amazon even vet anything that’s sold on their store?

And hey, how about 17 bucks for dedicated select all, cut, copy and paste buttons!! The BTXETUEL Mini 4-key might be the thing! Actually, I kind of like the idea of this. 😶

And finally, one of the most blatant rip-offs would be this Stream Deck + rip-off, called the very lazily named Macro Pad. If this had better Adobe Premiere support, it would probably actually be better than the Stream Deck + but they don’t even show any of the Adobe apps in their icons, so I’m guessing that it does not.
