SOOMFON CN003 Stream Controller with 10 Macro Keys, Touch Strip and 4 Dials

When a live session calls for quick scene changes, a bank of programmable controls can keep key actions close at hand. For a workflow centred on editing or multitasking, the same controls can launch apps, open websites or paste text with a press.

The SOOMFON CN003 brings 10 customizable LCD macro keys, a touch strip display and 4 multifunction dials together in one stream controller. It works with Mac and PC, with support for OBS, Twitch, Discord and YouTube.

Set up the keys and dials around the tasks you repeat most. That gives you a hands-on alternative to navigating every action through separate menus, while keeping different commands a swipe away.

What you’ll notice day to day

The 10 LCD keys can show static or animated icons, making it easier to recognize the actions assigned to them at a glance. Program one-touch commands for tasks such as pasting text, opening a website, launching an app or playing audio. For a streamer, that could mean putting frequently used commands within easy reach during a broadcast, for an editor or multitasker, the same idea can help organize repeat actions around a working session.

Swipe across the touch strip to move between control pages, scenes, commands or profiles. This gives you room to arrange more than one set of actions without changing the physical layout of the controller. The 4 multifunction dials add hands-on adjustments for tasks such as changing volume, screen brightness or image zoom.

Key points

The controller combines buttons, touch input and rotary controls, so common tasks can be assigned to the type of control that suits them. Customize key icons to make your layout easier to scan, then use the touch strip to move between pages as your needs change. A plugin marketplace offers downloadable plugins for extending the controller’s use across activities such as streaming, photo editing and game coding.

Connection is through a USB Type-C hardware interface. Supported computer systems are macOS Catalina 10.15 or later and Windows 10 64-bit or later. Spotify integration requires an active Spotify Premium account. The controller is made from ABS and weighs 385 g.

Best use cases

Choose this format when you want direct access to recurring commands instead of relying on a keyboard or on-screen menus for each step. Streamers can arrange controls for scenes and commands, while people who edit or work across apps can assign keys to launches, text and other repeated actions. The dials are useful when a task benefits from turning a control to adjust volume, brightness or zoom, rather than selecting each change on screen.

The practical advantage is a customizable control surface: keys, pages and dials can be organized around the way you work. It suits setups where quick access and personalized controls matter more than having a controller dedicated to just one task.
