Choose the Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 for 15 labeled physical keys, BarRaider's Windows Mover & Resizer plugin, listed on Elgato Marketplace, and Team Echo's WoW profile. Keep a Loupedeck Live if you want six dials for audio controls and custom touch pages. Use one physical press for one in-game input.
The MK.2 is the better documented route for MMO utility binds and Windows client layouts. The Live makes more sense if you own one already and want adjustable dials.

On Windows, BarRaider's Windows Mover & Resizer plugin, listed on Elgato Marketplace can move or resize a focused or selected app window. It can place RuneLite clients in a monitor layout, but does not switch accounts. Check that it distinguishes your clients before assigning keys. The OSRS setup hub and multi-client layout guide cover the desk layout.
Loupedeck's custom actions run shortcuts, but its docs do not show a RuneLite window action. Test before relying on it.
Elgato's Team Echo profile lists raid markers, Ready Check, pull calls, stack and spread, consumables, and travel. Designed for the MK.2, it works with other Stream Deck models. Build a Loupedeck page with custom shortcuts. See the WoW setup guide and World of Warcraft setup hub.
Keep game actions to one input per physical press. Do not bind a timed chain or multiple in-game actions to one button.
On Windows, Elgato's Volume Controller maps app volume to Stream Deck keys; Loupedeck's VolumeMixer maps active apps to dials. The Live is quicker for turning a dial, while the MK.2 can change a selected app's level from a key.
These are example layouts. Assign one game input to each press.
Elgato lists Windows 11+ and macOS 13+; Loupedeck lists Windows 10+ and macOS 10.15+. Check these requirements before building a profile.
Elgato's Smart Profiles and Loupedeck's Adapt to App can switch layouts with the active app. Both need desktop software; some actions need a plugin or shortcut.
The MK.2 has 15 pressable LCD keys, each with an icon. Loupedeck Live has 12 touch buttons with haptic feedback, 8 round buttons, and 6 dials. Pick MK.2 for labeled presses or Live for variable adjustments.
Both adjust Windows app audio. Live offers direct dial control; MK.2 changes an app's level with a key.
Use BarRaider's Windows Mover & Resizer plugin, listed on Elgato Marketplace, to place selected RuneLite windows on your monitor grid. Test that it separates each window first.
Team Echo publishes an MK.2-compatible profile for markers, ready checks, pull calls, and travel.
Its Windows VolumeMixer can map active apps to the six dials.
Keep the Live if its custom pages and six dials already fit your setup.
Neither controller manages RuneLite accounts or decides which MMO window should be active. Window movement, app volume, and profile switching need a configured plugin or shortcut. Keep each in-game control to one input per physical press, and do not use timed sequences or multi-action chains for game actions.
The MK.2 has 15 physical LCD keys, BarRaider's Windows Mover & Resizer plugin, listed on Elgato Marketplace, and Team Echo's WoW profile. Choose it when labeled presses and that documented profile matter more than direct audio dials. Loupedeck Live suits you if you want six dials and custom touch pages.
No controller can guarantee that a binding follows every game's rules. For OSRS, map one physical press to one in-game input; do not bind a timed sequence or chain multiple game actions. Check the rules for the game you play before assigning an action.
On Windows, BarRaider's Windows Mover & Resizer plugin, listed on Elgato Marketplace, can move or resize a selected or focused RuneLite window, helping place clients in a monitor layout. It does not switch accounts. Check that the plugin selects the intended client before mapping a key to move it.
