Fanatec, a brand under Corsair, has launched official Stream Deck integration. This free plugin available on the Elgato Marketplace connects directly with Fanatec hardware and compatible racing simulations. The plugin supports all Stream Deck models, including the Stream Deck XL and Stream Deck +. This collaboration enhances the sim racing experience.

With the plugin enabled, the Stream Deck becomes a telemetry display, showing race position, fuel levels, tire temperatures, and flag warnings. It also provides access to the Fanatec Tuning Menu. This allows users to adjust hardware settings directly from the Stream Deck, mirroring the controls on Fanatec steering wheels.

The integration is a natural fit, given Corsair's family of brands and the popularity of the Stream Deck in sim racing setups. This provides more control and real-time information to racers. Expect to see more of these partnerships as sim racing continues its growth.

What's next? Expect to see further refinement of the plugin with potential updates for new Fanatec hardware and simulation titles. This allows racers to have a more integrated and personalized experience. The trend is towards more customization.
