Everyone knows you need a mic and maybe a webcam to stream, but there are also loads of value-adding peripherals and accessories geared towards streamers on the market - non-essentials that promise to level up your content. A few can be pretty handy, but it's safe to say there are many more that are just gimmicks. Often shoddily produced ones.

So we want to know which single accessory or peripheral you use for streaming that you've found useful or would recommend to others, something that gives your stream a bit of a pop or makes things easier. Again, we're looking for things that aren't absolute essentials - no microphones or webcams permitted - but slightly more out-there products that offer something you didn't know you needed and now can't live without. Software is allowed, too, if there's anything outside of the usual OBS/Streamlabs setup you use regularly.

We're expecting plenty of stream deck nominations here, so if you do go for that, tell us how you have it set up and the best shortcuts you've found for your streams. Also, link to the specific stream deck you have, as there are a few different options on the market now. Bonus points to anyone who nominates something else, though.

Explain your choice to a minimum of 150 words or 60 seconds of video and you can net $4.

Task: Explain which non-essential streaming accessory you love
