Installation
To begin using your Stream Deck Pedal, follow these steps:

- Download and install the latest Stream Deck app from elgato.com/download.
- Connect the Stream Deck Pedal directly to a USB port on your PC or Mac. Do not use a USB hub, as it may cause connectivity issues.

Once connected, launch the Stream Deck app to configure your device:
- The app interface displays your pedal layout.
- Browse the right-hand panel for available actions (e.g., OBS Studio, Soundboard, System).
- Drag and drop your desired actions onto the specific pedals shown in the app.
- Right-click on any configured icon to copy, delete, or move the action to a different pedal.
Adjust Pedal Pressure
You can customize the resistance of each pedal using the included spring tension sets:

- Use a Phillips head (PH) screwdriver to loosen the four screws on the bottom of the unit.
- Remove the cover to access the internal springs.
- Replace the springs with the desired tension set (Soft, Medium, or Hard).
- Re-secure the cover with the four screws.
Use the Middle Pedal as a Footrest
If you prefer to use the middle pedal as a stationary footrest:
- Insert the two included stoppers into the designated slots on the middle pedal mechanism.
- This locks the pedal in place, providing a comfortable resting position.
