Earlier this year, Elgato introduced its Neo product line, consisting of five different Elgato products in a new Plug-‘n-play format. The new Neo family aims to allow anyone to look and sound more professional in a simplistic but affordable way. It’s a bold strategy, but for a company that’s dominated the content creator space for over a decade thanks to its high-quality products, there’s probably no one better to take on the challenge.
Introducing Elgato Neo
The Elgato Neo family has five new products: the Stream Deck Neo, Facecam Neo, Game Capture Neo, Wave Neo, and Keylight Neo. All five products work perfectly individually, but together, they are the ultimate starter package for anyone looking to jump into streaming or content creation. The Neo family exists to be simpler and more affordable than its other Elgato products, while still maintaining a high-quality and professional look.
Elgato realises that not everyone is a tech expert, and in a world where online video calls are becoming increasingly more popular for job interviews and work calls, Neo’s plug-in-and-play approach is massively welcomed. Gone are the days of Googling pages of tutorials.
Full reviews are on the way for each of the Elgato Neo productions, but as a quick overview, here’s what the Elgato Neo family offers.
