For gadget enthusiasts, there are many products where you "know the specs, but want to try the real thing." Gaming gadgets, in particular, have an appeal that can only be truly understood by experiencing them firsthand, such as keyfeel, fit, and texture.

That's why at the ASCII-sponsored event "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 in LIFORK AKIHABARA II," held on Saturday, October 10, we will be showcasing a wide array of gaming gadgets that garnered attention this summer. You'll be able to experience products recommended by our editorial team firsthand.

In this article, we'll introduce the "Stream Deck + XL" left-hand device, one of the gaming gadgets on display.

It's Huge! It Has Many Buttons! The Elgato "Stream Deck + XL" Can Do Anything Depending on Your Settings

The Stream Deck + XL is the "biggest" model among Elgato's classic left-hand device lineup!

It boasts an incredible number of buttons, six dials, and even a touch strip. As you customize it to your liking, the possibilities just keep expanding.

It's a gadget that makes you want to enjoy the entire process, including the time spent customizing it to your preferred specifications.

Key Feature ①: An Incredible Number of Buttons!

As expected from the "biggest" model, having so many buttons is fantastic!

You can register a multitude of shortcuts and various operations, making it convenient not only for gaming but also for anyone who performs diverse tasks on their PC. Far from having buttons left over, you might even find yourself pondering what to assign to them all.

Key Feature ②: Six Dials + Touch Strip

It features six dials alone, and also supports screen switching via the touch strip.

With so many controls, it feels like you're building your own custom control panel. Just tinkering with the settings is a lot of fun!

Key Feature ③: An Overwhelming Number of Plugins!

As a popular series, the Elgato Marketplace offers an overwhelming number of plugins.

This means you can continuously expand its capabilities even after purchase. This "sense of being able to grow it yourself" is a major appeal of the Stream Deck. For those who love to tinker, this device is truly highly recommended!

Head to Akihabara on Saturday, October 10! Come and Experience the Elgato "Stream Deck + XL" for Yourself

Gaming gadgets have aspects that cannot be understood from photos or specs alone, such as the feel of the buttons, the weight of the dials, and the overall texture.

That's why at this event, we are emphasizing creating a space where you can directly experience a large display of exciting gaming gadgets that you'll want to get your hands on this summer, and that we "absolutely want you to touch!"

We've gathered only gaming gadgets that you'll "definitely want to touch and check out" this summer, so please take this opportunity to experience them.

Our editorial staff will also be at the venue, so please feel free to ask if you have any questions.

We look forward to seeing you at LIFORK Akihabara II on October 10!

It's Happening in Akihabara! First-Timers Are Welcome! You Can Touch Any Gaming Gadget You're Curious About

Gaming PCs, keyboards, mice, headsets—why not try and compare all the products you're curious about? No matter how many photos you see or spec sheets you read, the one thing you can't know until the end is "what's it like to actually touch it?" So, let's go to Akihabara and try out everything that catches your eye!

The date for "TOKYO Gaming-PC STREET 9 (GPS 9)," an event where you can experience the latest gaming gadgets firsthand and consult with our editorial staff, has been set! It's Saturday, October 10, 2026!

And here's the important part: this event welcomes you just to look, touch, or compare. It's an event where you can freely try out gadgets at your own pace. There's no need to buy anything, so feel free to drop by!

There's no need to be intimidated, thinking, "PC events seem to be full of experts and hard to get into," or "What if they try to push me to buy something like in a store?" It's perfectly fine if you're not an expert in PCs! And of course, participation is free.

At the venue, you can actually experience various devices such as keyboards, mice, and headsets. The key is that you can thoroughly compare things like size, keyboard keyfeel, and mouse grip, which are hard to understand online, right there on the spot. If you're thinking, "I don't know what to choose," you can also easily consult with ASCII editorial staff.

Furthermore, we're planning prize giveaways, mini-stages, and even a puzzle-solving event. It's an event designed to be enjoyed casually—just come, look, touch, and remember what caught your eye!

Of course, we'll also be holding the popular prize giveaway from last time, and we'll be doing it big! We've also prepared commemorative novelty items for your visit, and we eagerly await your attendance.
