Stream decks are really nice, I got one recently and have been playing around with various uses.

So far I've hooked it up to auto-post things to a Slack (using IFTTT) and done bindings for a MMORPG (DDO) as well as it's intended use (scene switching in OBS)

All works fine and it's pretty easy to setup.

I'm confused on what the stream deck actually is. And the elgato site is overloaded with motion graphics. Is it basically just a grid of buttons with LCDs backing them? So you can attach a dynamic icon to each button and pressing it will run some macro on the host PC?

Pretty much that. In addition to raw macros it has integrations for all the main streaming apps (e.g. OBS) which simplify the process of adding actions for them.

So for example I can easily select scenes from OBS within the stream deck application to add them.

In addition there's various add-ons that can be enabled, so for there are buttons that'll show your CPU usage or Internet speeds.
