Elgato’s Stream Deck Plus XL has more buttons, more dials, and a larger touchscreen

The original Stream Deck Plus had fewer buttons than the standard Stream Deck but offered expanded functionality through four additional dial controls and a touchscreen above them. The screen showed the functions mapped to each of those knobs, but they could also be used as buttons, in addition to other functionality. Instead of just triggering individual functions, the dials allowed precise adjustments to be made to settings like volume or gain.

The new Stream Deck Plus XL has the same LCD buttons with membrane switches as the smaller version, but 36 of them instead of just eight. It also has two additional dials, bringing the total to six, and a touchscreen that stretches across all the knobs. It will gobble up a little more desktop space, but if you need more than 15 buttons, the Stream Deck Plus XL will give you more than twice as many while taking up far less space than daisy-chaining a pair of standard Stream Decks.
