• Plugin - a small program located between the Razer Stream Controller and the application in use. Each application has its own dedicated plugin, which does two things:
  • Work as translator between the "Loupedeck language" and "Application's language".
  • Deliver the translated commands from Razer Stream Controller to the application or vice versa.
• Profile - Each target application (using the plugin) is controlled through a profile. The profile contains all the mapping information of the whole device. This saves which action is mapped to which button.
• Workspace - A workspace is a combination of the dials and touch buttons. The workspace does not include the round buttons. Because of this, the round buttons can be utilized to switch between workspaces.
• Action or Adjustment - An action, a press function, is mapped to a button. Meanwhile, an adjustment, a rotational function, is mapped to a dial. Each action or adjustment causes a reaction on the target application. A "Play" action starts playback, and "Main Volume" would adjust the output volume.

Plugins are software add-ons that allow the user to have precise control over the software. It is located between the target application and Razer Stream Controller. The target application provides a set of features to the plugin to which the plugin connects to. These features, actions, can be mapped on the Razer Stream Controller.

Control Center is a widget which takes control of your Razer Stream Controller. It can be identified, when mapped on a touch button, from orange color strips. Control Center can be assigned to the device like any other action, but the content of a control center cannot be altered. The actions and adjustments within a control center is pre-determined by the plugin of the target application.
