Overview
What Hero Deck for Skyrim does
To see your Skyrim stats on a Stream Deck, add Hero Deck for Skyrim and drag its keys onto your Stream Deck: they show health, magicka and stamina with bars, when your shout is ready again, carry weight against your limit, gold, your level progress and the date and time in Skyrim, live while you play Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition on PC.
Any key can also press a game key you choose, such as a favorite, Shout held for more words, the inventory or Wait, so your Stream Deck works as a hotkey box for Skyrim too.
Features
What you can do
- Watch your health, magicka and stamina
Each key shows the value or the percent with a bar, and the name and number turn yellow when it runs low, so you drink the potion in time.
- Know when to shout
The Shout key says READY, or counts down the seconds until your shout is ready again.
- Keep your loot in check
The Carry Weight key shows what you carry against your limit, the bar turns yellow near the limit and the key turns red with TOO HEAVY when you are over it.
- See your gold and your level
Your gold with thousands separators, and your level with the progress toward the next one.
- Read the time in Skyrim
The hour in a 24 or 12 hour clock, the day and month of the Skyrim calendar and the year, like 17 Last Seed, 4E 201.
- Press game keys from the deck
Every key can send a key you pick, tapped or held for half a second up to 2 seconds, by default only while Skyrim is the window in front.
- Make it yours
Five looks (Classic, Neon, Ring, Bars and Solid) or your own color, keys in English and Japanese, and Stream Deck + dials.
Set up
How it works
- Install SKSE64 and Address Library for SKSE Plugins, if you play with mods you likely have both. Then get Hero Deck for Skyrim from the Elgato Marketplace.
- Drag the keys you want onto your Stream Deck, open the settings of any key and press Install under Game plugin. The plugin finds Skyrim in your Steam libraries and adds one small file to the game's SKSE plugins folder.
- Start Skyrim with SKSE64 and load a save. The keys show your character right away.
Good to knowSKSE64 loads the small game plugin. It reads a few values of your character and the time in Skyrim and hands them to the Stream Deck plugin on your PC, and it changes nothing in your game or your saves. With the Stream Deck on a Mac or a second PC, it sends the same values over your home network to that computer.

How do I see my Skyrim health, magicka and stamina on a Stream Deck?
Install Hero Deck for Skyrim, drag the Health, Magicka and Stamina keys onto your Stream Deck, open a key's settings and press Install. Start Skyrim with SKSE64 and load a save: the keys show your values right away.
What do I need besides the Stream Deck plugin?
SKSE64 and Address Library for SKSE Plugins for your version of the game. If a piece is missing, the key says SETUP and its settings name what to install.
Can a key press a game key, like a hotkey for a favorite or the shout?
Yes. Pick a key in a key's settings, such as 1 for a favorite or Z for Shout, and choose to tap it or hold it up to 2 seconds. By default it sends only while Skyrim is the window in front.
Can I see my Skyrim stats on a Stream Deck connected to a Mac?
Yes. Play on your Windows PC and, on the Mac, set Receive from to "This PC and the network" in a key's settings. The settings page shows the address of the Mac and the steps for the gaming PC: copy the game plugin there and add a small settings file with that address. On a Mac the keys show the stats; game keys are sent only on Windows.
Does it go online?
No. There is no account and no analytics, and nothing goes to GRAMSHIFT. As installed it sends nothing over the network; only if you set up a Mac or a second PC does the game plugin send the game values to the one address you write in its settings file.
What happens after a Skyrim update?
If the new game version is not in the plugin's list yet, the keys say GAME VER. and nothing is read from the game until a plugin update adds it. The game itself is not touched.
