Streaming, video calls, or quick software control: today, all of this is virtually impossible without practical tools that simplify the workflow.
The AJAZZ Stream Controller Deck AKP05 is one of those devices that immediately catches the eye with its compact design and versatile features. I tested the device for several weeks and would like to share my personal impressions here.
Design and construction
At first glance, the AKP05 appears tidy and modern. The elongated display in the center is clearly structured and reliably shows which function is currently active.
The ten large LED display buttons are particularly impressive. These can be freely assigned, offering a wide range of options for customizing your workflow.
There are also four rotary push buttons that can be used for volume control as well as for zooming or other software functions.
The USB hub on the back is also practical, allowing you to connect additional devices without having to constantly search for ports.
Functions in detail
The LED buttons are the heart of the controller. Not only can you start individual functions, but you can also execute macros or complex sequences all at once.
The configuration software is clear, but could be a little more intuitive in some areas. I had to experiment for a few minutes at the beginning until everything worked the way I wanted it to.
The twist-and-push controls feel high-quality and respond precisely to every movement, even when operated quickly during live streams.
Use in streaming and home office
The advantages of the AKP05 are immediately apparent, especially when streaming or making video calls. You can switch scenes, adjust camera settings, or play music and sounds without taking your hand off the mouse.
The controller can also be easily integrated into software such as OBS or Zoom. During my tests, I found that with a little practice, you can switch between functions very quickly.
Practical experience
Overall, I am very satisfied with the AKP05. The device is solidly built and the keys respond reliably. One minor criticism is the software, which occasionally responds a little sluggishly, especially when many macros are active at the same time.
I would also have liked the display to be a little brighter, especially in bright ambient light. Nevertheless, the positive impression prevails: work becomes easier, the workflow smoother, and it’s a real bonus, especially for frequent users.
If you stream a lot, organize video calls, or want to quickly control software functions, the AJAZZ AKP05 is a flexible helper.
My own tests have shown that, despite minor weaknesses, the device works reliably in everyday use and noticeably simplifies the workflow.
The freely assignable LED buttons and the rotary push buttons in particular make all the difference. For anyone who likes to customize and optimize, the AKP05 is definitely worth a look.
