Overview
Quick setup of the Elgato Stream Deck for ATS/ETS2 to use as a LCD button box for all your trucking needs.
End result
Elgato Stream Deck
The Elgato Stream Deck exists in 2 versions, 15 keys and 6 keys[amzn.to].
While primarily targeted at streamers, it is perfectly capable of being used as an interactive button box for just about anything.
Option 1: Importing profile
You may download my existing profile[sharemods.com] and do an import in Elgato Stream Deck application.
Don’t forget to remap keys in ATS/ETS2.
Option 2: Using icons directly to create your own profile
Create a new profile and select ATS or ETS2 as the application (has to be running to show up in the list)
Download and uncompress the icon pack [sharemods.com]
Find System > Hotkey in the list of actions and drag and drop it to an empty slot.
Then, click on the small downward arrow on the icon and select “Set from File”
Browse to the icon you want to use then click on “Hotkey” and type any keyboard combination you would like the button to trigger.
Don’t forget to remap keys in ATS/ETS2.
Icons guidelines
Icons should be at least 72×72 pixels, .jpg or .png format.
I have had good results with 128×128 pixels png icons.
The background color should be transparent or common to all icons for best results.

- node-elgato-stream-deck[github.com] – NodeJS wrapper for Stream Deck
- StreamDeckSharp[github.com] – C# wrapper for Stream Deck
Might be possible in the near future to have true interactive icons directly connect to the Telemetry server.
