Customize your setup
If you’re building a themed Stream Deck layout, these icon packs bring bold brush strokes, pixel aesthetics, and traditional Japanese design to your keys. Each works across Stream Deck devices and is easy to install from Marketplace.
Kanji focuses on bold Japanese characters with minimal backgrounds. This pack is ideal if you prefer a clean, typography-forward layout while keeping a strong cultural theme.
It works well for labeling scenes, stream controls, or commonly used actions in a visually consistent way.
Shodo is inspired by traditional Japanese calligraphy. Each icon feels hand-brushed and expressive, giving your Stream Deck a more artistic and organic look.
This pack pairs nicely with minimalist overlays or live streams that focus on atmosphere and presentation.
Oni Realm blends dark tones, red accents, and traditional Japanese demon-inspired artwork into a dramatic icon pack. It works well for action-heavy streams, horror games, or cinematic layouts.
The bold shapes and high contrast make actions easy to recognize at a glance, especially during live broadcasts.
Pixel Japan takes a retro-inspired approach with 8-bit and pixel-style Japanese visuals. It’s a good fit for classic RPGs, arcade streams, or creators who want a nostalgic look.
Despite the pixel aesthetic, icons remain clean and readable on both Stream Deck and Stream Deck +.
