One Stream Deck key. One press to raid.
R3dLabs Toolbox turns a single Stream Deck key into your raid button. It watches your raid train for the next streamer in line, lights up the moment they go live, and raids them when you press it.
Stream Deck key states
- No raid target: You are linked, but your raid train has not handed you a target yet.
- Raid target acquired: Your next streamer is locked in. The key shows their name and waits for them to go live.
- Raid now: They are live. Press the key to send your viewers their way.
- Raiding: The raid is on its way. Press again during the countdown to cancel it.
What the Raid Now action does
- Knows who is next: The key pulls the on-deck streamer from your active R3dLabs raid train slot, so you never have to look up who you are raiding.
- Lights up on go-live: Toolbox checks Twitch every few seconds and switches the key from orange to red the instant your target starts streaming.
- Shows their name: The key art is generated with your target's display name on it, so a glance at your deck tells you where the raid is headed.
- Raid in one press: No commands, no tabbing to Twitch. Press once to start the raid, press again during the countdown to cancel.
- Setup takes one click: Link your Twitch account from the plugin's settings panel. No API keys, no usernames to type, no separate login.
- Free on the Marketplace: Install it from the Elgato Marketplace like any other plugin and it appears under the R3dLabs Toolbox category.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the R3dLabs Toolbox Stream Deck plugin do?
- It adds a Raid Now key that tracks the next streamer in your R3dLabs raid train, shows their name on the key, turns red when they go live, and starts the Twitch raid with a single press.
- How do I install it?
- Install R3dLabs Toolbox from the Elgato Marketplace, drag the Raid Now action onto any key, then click Link Twitch Account in the key's settings panel and approve the raid permission.
- What do I need to configure?
- Nothing beyond linking your Twitch account once. There are no API keys to paste and no username to type, because the plugin reads your channel and your raid target from the linked account.
- Can I cancel a raid after pressing the key?
- Yes. While the Twitch raid countdown is running, the key shows Raiding with press to cancel. Pressing it again cancels the raid.
- What are the requirements?
- Stream Deck 6.5 or later on macOS 10.15+ or Windows 10+, plus an active slot on a R3dLabs raid train so the plugin has a raid target to track.
- Does it cost anything?
- No. The plugin is free on the Elgato Marketplace and works with a free R3dLabs account.
