Four dials. Four axes. DRIFT mapped to physical hardware so you can navigate coordinate space with your hands, not a mouse.
Download Bridge Setup GuideThe model with 4 dials and a touch strip. Other Stream Deck models work but only get button controls, no dial navigation.
elgato.com →The DRIFT bridge talks directly to the hardware. You don't need the Elgato Stream Deck software. Close it if it's running to avoid conflicts.
The bridge is a Python script. Install Python 3.12 from python.org. Windows, Mac, and Linux are all supported.
python.org →The bridge connects to your local DRIFT server. DRIFT must be running at localhost:5000 before you start the bridge.
Download the DRIFT Stream Deck Bridge package. Unzip it anywhere. Run install.bat — it installs the Python dependencies automatically. Takes about 30 seconds.
Open a terminal in your DRIFT folder and run:
Wait for "Vector ready" and "DRIFT running at http://localhost:5000".
Run start.bat from the bridge folder. Your Stream Deck+ dials and buttons are now live. Open DRIFT in your browser and start navigating.
