Your Elgato stream deck,
over WiFi.
DeckBridge runs on your computer and appears to the Elgato app as a network device - your buttons work there. No Network Dock required.
sudoQuick start
Running in two minutes
Plug in your deck
Connect a supported USB deck. macOS asks for Input Monitoring once.
Open the Elgato app
On any machine on the same LAN. The deck shows up like real Elgato hardware.
How it works
One bridge, two protocols
DeckBridge speaks USB HID to your deck and emulates an Elgato Network Dock on the LAN. The app discovers it like real hardware.
Key presses travel deck → DeckBridge → app. Button images travel back, resized and rotated to match your device before they're written over USB.
Why
What you can do with it
Reuse a non-Elgato deck
Drive a Mirabox or Ajazz deck from the official Elgato app — it looks like genuine hardware.
Skip the Network Dock
Use a USB deck with the app over WiFi instead of buying the ~$70 hardware dock.
Place it anywhere
Across the desk or in another room - only the WiFi link matters, not a cable run.
Hobby control surface
A budget board for personal streaming, shortcuts, and scene switching.
See it
The built-in web UI
DeckBridge serves its own control panel at localhost:3000 — a guided pairing flow that walks you through connecting the deck to the Elgato app.

How it stacks up
Against the official Network Dock and the closed app that ships with many non-Elgato decks.

"Deck's bundled app" reflects red flags found in the EULA of one non-Elgato deck's Windows software: an anonymous publisher with no listed address, a .vip download domain, broad system telemetry with no privacy policy, and liability capped at $50. DeckBridge ships no EULA — the source is the contract.

Under the hood
Built with
⚠ Not affiliated with Elgato / Corsair. "Stream Deck" and "Elgato" are trademarks of their respective owners. DeckBridge is for hobby and personal use only and does not replace the Elgato Network Dock. For professional or reliable setups, use officially supported Elgato hardware.
ℹ Nothing reverse-engineered. The USB HID and Elgato CORA protocol handling is reused from existing open-source projects - DeckBridge only wires that prior work together.
