Logitech MX Creative Console, 9 Customizable LCD Keys, Stream Deck Accessories,Connectivity Technology USB-C, Control Dial for Graphic Design, Zoom, Spotify - Graphite, 3-Month Adobe Cloud Membership

It works great, a little time consuming at first to configurate but once configured it's a great tool. I use it in Photoshop but they still have no Bridge or Adobe Camera Raw support, that means that you'll have to create your own personal profiles. The setup software works really well and it's very intuitive, so the learning curve is not steep and wont require much time to learn how to configure. The bluetooth connection also works really well. Logitech is constantly updating the controller, so I expect it to work even better and have more usability in the future

I do a great deal of creative editing in several applications and this will be my third device in an attempt to streamline / speed up workflow and I finally got it right. I had a Loupedeck (cheap and finicky) and a Tourbox (by the time I really got it flowing, it broke) and really needed something simple and customizable. Grabbed one of these, game changer. Keypad is backlit, every button is fully customizable by color / label / function and you can have multiple pages. The scroll wheel is heavy and has good tactile feel, and the buttons on the wheel are also assignable. The only 2 drawbacks I’ve found are as follows: The Logi app is easy to navigate and fun to use, but unlike some of the competition, not EVERY function in a given app is available and assignable. Granted, it covers 95 percent of what you’d need, but as a power user I sadly ran into 3-4 things that weren’t options in the assignable function list. Usually creating automations / presets and then assigning them to a button dodged most issues (which is incredible by the way. Having labeled presets and actions as physical glowing buttons). Other drawback is the app updates. Every week or two I plug in my MX and start working and it doesn’t function. Turns out my creative software updated automatically at some point and it rendered the Logi useless until I update it as well. I fear the day Logi stops updating, as this thing is heavily dependent on its software. Overall it rules, costs less than other tools like it, and I highly recommend it. You also get to look like some kind of missile commander once you get good at it, if you’re using it in public.

The MX Creative Console is really two gadgets in one box. One is a bright keypad with nine little LCD faces. The other is a dialpad that looks like it rolled straight off a sci-fi sound board. That split personality makes a single rating tricky, so I will break it apart. Dialpad X2, take a bow The dialpad is wireless, rock solid on the desk, and wakes up the instant the creative juice starts flowing. I park it under my left palm, mouse in my right, and the two behave like they have been partners for years. The dual rotary controls plus the four buttons nail every Figma nudge, zoom, and scrub I throw at them. Options+ lets me carve per-app profiles. If Logitech sold this part on its own I would hand it five stars and probably buy a second one for the snack drawer. Keypad, please see me after class Now the keypad. The screens are crisp even at 20% brightness in a sun-blasted office. Loads of plugins, loads of built-ins, but the clever ideas stop halfway. I can show a clock or a date but not both on the same key. Tap the date and nothing happens. Seconds tick and the digits jump position like jittery popcorn which is oddly distracting during focus time. Figma refuses to auto switch profiles on Windows so I have to babysit it. Worst part is the hardware. A stiff USB-C cable exits straight out the top then drags the thing across the desk every time I poke a key. The plastic pedestal tries to tame the cable but looks like an unrelated accessory I found in a bargain bin with a chonky lip of mismatch plastic and color to hold it in place. Flat on the desk the viewing angle is lousy unless I block prime keyboard real estate, already claimed by the dialpad. Wireless data with a thin, super flexible, clear power cord would have done wonders here with more weight and better feet. Software and integrations Logi Options+ scores better than average. There are canned profiles for Photoshop, Premiere, Lightroom, After Effects, Final Cut, Resolve, Figma, Teams, Zoom, and Spotify. Swapping functions is point and click. Still no scripting layer for real power users. I keep hoping for a simple Lua box or at least a macro recorder. Wish list for version two 1. Sell the dialpad alone. Trust me, people will line up. 2. Give the keypad a braided side-exit cable or, even better, batteries and low-power wireless. 3. Let keys combine data, and pages that stay pinned across profiles. 4. Expose a scripting API so nerds like me can automate wild stuff. Bottom line At roughly two hundred bucks the bundle lands well under Stream Deck plus a Loupedeck knob set. For visual pros deep in Adobe land the keypad may earn its keep, but for code-first makers the dialpad is the real prize. If Logitech splits the pair I'd be first in line. But the Dialpad has a LONG way to go and it's not all fixable in software.

Well. I have being using this for almost 3 months now and it work well. Is just not for me. Features are great and you can customize almost anything between photo apps to video apps, but the wheel needs to be upgrade to something where I can feel in my finger... moreover a rubber or something sticky because it is very slippery to the touch. It's not so precise when you are trying to catch a frame in video editing (I use Davinci Resolve) and having only 9 customizable buttons per page makes me navigate a lot between pages to get the feature that I need. Built quality is good. The base that came with it holds the panel very well but leaves the jog wheel without any options so I grab a keyboard holder kit to elevate the angle a bit. I also have to add a rubber piece to the wheel to have a reference point plus a helper to my finger. Buttons are good and feel good to the touch. Also thru the software you can adjust the brightness. Jog wheel on the other hand has no light whatsoever. Also the sensitivity of the wheel on the minimum setting is still to high. I am giving this a 4 stars because the concept was very well done for everyday use on any normal user, but someone with high demand of specific task you should check other options.

This is one of those things you never think you need until you have it then can’t imagine not having it! I still feel like there’s so many uses for it that I haven’t even tapped in to but I personally use this for streaming and video editing. It’s very user friendly and customizable, whether you’re super tech savvy or a beginner it’s pretty easy to use and the Bluetooth connectivity is seamless. The buttons are responsive and overall a great value and great quality. I would definitely love some more color options in the future for different aesthetics but overall pretty cool piece of hardware

In theory, this device is great. I came from using a Tourbox, which is no longer supported by the company. I thought this would be a more modern replacement but unfortunately, it is not The keypad connects to their software and works just fine to program different functions. The problem is the bluetooth shuttle, which has to connect to your computer rather than to the other half of the logitech device. This is such a horrible design concept! On the rare occasion that it can stay connected for longer than 10 minutes, the device is slow, clunky, and very unresponsive. I tried using it with Premiere Pro and the jog wheel is jerky and has about a 1 second lag. It's completely worthless because of this and I'm sending it back for a refund. I called "customer service" and they were of absolutely zero help. I had high hopes for this device, but alas, it's another tech product that sounds great on paper but is terrible in application.

I used a Contour express Shuttle express for the past four or five years, when it suddenly died on me, so I was in the market for a new paddle to ease my video editing. I came across a review of this item on Premier Gal's YouTube before it was released to market, and I thought yeah, why not? SO glad I did. This item comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud which even current subscribers can utilize. that in itself drops the price of this already valued equipment down to almost nil. but if that isn't incentive enough, the build quality is spectacular. the button are easy to press, and the paddle rotates easily. the buttons on the console are programmable, and you can design the logo that appears for whatever application you wish. (That is something you must do on your own however. there is no service available for that purpose on Logitechs website.) The only discouraging thing I can say about this item is the length of the USB cable for use with the panel. it is just a tad short in my humble opinion, but nothing that a USB extension cannot solve. Having already purchased a new Logi-Tech MX-3S mouse, and now the Creative Console, of course I had to purchase the MX keyboard as well. Logi-Tech has come a long way from where they began. This actually made me happy about my shuttle express dying. Well worth the money, whether you use Adobe or not. easy to install and set-up, easy to use. The MX Creative Console makes your workflow so much easier. DO NOT DELAY. BUY THIS NOW!

I've been looking and waiting for this product for 15 years. I've looked at dozens of programmable keypads over the years and found them wanting. My use case for it is mostly Figma and VS Code. The MX Creative Console was primarily designed with Adobe products in mind... but I abandoned Adobe years ago when they decided they preferred to drain my bank account monthly instead of every 3 or 4 years when I needed or wanted to upgrade. But this product works great for my use case. The only downside for my specific uses is that I have to program each button. Adobe products have preprogrammed starters. But I'm sure VS Code and Figma will be added by Logitech in the future. But that said - once programmed, I love that each button has an icon and words displayed that tell me what they are programmed to do. I love also that you can color code them. And I particularly love that as soon as I start to work in any of my applications the buttons automatically switch over to the profile for that particular... or the desktop default. I also like that there are lots of application specific icons to choose from for each button. And that each application can have several pages. There's still a couple of glitches which I expect Logitech to fix... like today, changing the text size on the buttons doesn't work . The ability to do it is built in, but there's a bug in software. For Logitech, if you are reading this - I don't like that the button console has to be hard wired directly into the USB-c port of my computer. The Creative Console did not work using a USB-c port on my docking station ... nor did it work using a USB-a port with a USB-a to USB-c cable. Actually, I would prefer no wires at all. Also they way you size and center icons and text on the buttons when programming them can be improved. That said - this product is a home run for me.
