Reverse Engineering Elgato's Stream Deck Plus: Breaking Free from Proprietary Software

Den Delimarsky successfully reverse-engineered the Elgato Stream Deck Plus and shared the detailed process. Using tools like Wireshark, he captured and analyzed the USB communication between the Stream Deck Plus and a computer, revealing the workings of buttons, screen, and knobs. This includes the image transfer protocol, button status feedback, and screen touch event coordinate data. He then updated the DeckSurf SDK with a C# example, enabling developers to control the Stream Deck Plus without relying on Elgato's software.
