Logitech MX Creative Console, 9 Customizable LCD Keys, Stream Deck Accessories, Control Dial for Graphic Design, Adobe, Zoom, Spotify - Pale Grey, 3-Month Adobe Creative Cloud Membership

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.

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

Great quality product with TONs of customizability. For context, I use a wide swath of adobe products - Illustrator, PS, ID, LR, AE, etc. as well as Figma and am constantly creating presentations in G Slides, Keynote, Powerpoint, you name it. I SWEAR by logi's mx master 2. I don't think ill ever be able to move off of it. More buttons/dials = getting to skip past pesky drop down menus and even un-ergonomic key binds to make the creative go brrr. I think the logi+ app is great, and im really excited to have added an ai/chatgpt prompt button to my mouse to help rewrite things. With that said—the fatal flaw of this product (as is) is pretty much all in the ergonomics of the massive dial—and it is too big for how wildly sensitive it is. For NOT having "notches" to make adjustments incrementally (like the mx master 2 has in it's scroll wheel), if you try to adjust your system volume, you will instantly mute your music or be playing it FULL BLAST. The vertical scroll wheel, which would be SUPER handy for, say, zooming in and out of web pages in 10% increments, also suffers from a lack of notches and crazy sensitivity. Yes, I have tried adjusting the sensitivity setting down to 0% and that seems to make 0 difference. I'm going to hold on to this product for now because I think the keypad is absolutely elite (it's very snappy and tactile and I love the multiple pages you can have for just one app) but i am going to be waiting for an update to the dial with bated breath. At least come out with a software update so we can better tune the dial sensitivity. It's practically unusable imo. If they just made the dial a little smaller, gave it and the vert scroller some satisfying, tight "notches" for more controlled incremental adjustments (the ability to SWITCH between wheel modes like the mx master two maybe???), and also gave them a button press "in" — this thing would be worth $500 to me lol. But hey that's just me, an adhd creative professional

For the nonce, I am giving this 4 stars. For the last month, I have been using it for mostly Lightroom Classic editing. I do quite a bit of PS work too but I wanted to focus on one thing. Therefore, the rating may change. First things first... about the device. Being a mechanical keyboard user including task pads, this feels super cheap. YMMV. The buttons on the pad are super squishy with little to no tactile response. The wheels and buttons on the dialpad are good however I find that piece mostly useless. The most irritating thing is that the device loses what app it's in even though I haven't changed apps nor have windows popped up. ALT + Tab is your friend to get things back. Note that all LR features are not available in every or all layouts. This is super annoying. The features that aren't available, you have to create custom actions which are not well documented and clunky to create. Also, common actions sometimes don't work or they do the wrong thing. I do quite a bit of batch processing and that is very limited. The sync feature has no UI by default which is dumb since you may not want all attributes synchronized. You have to create your own action for that. The crop overlay is terrible and the dialpad, for me, is worse than a mouse. It does, once you setup the button flow, increase the speed of edits. The self labeling buttons is awesome. This beats out nearly every custom pad. I plan on putting my PS workflow to the test with this and perhaps I will update the review. The implementation is via Adobe's API. In theory, if you are a dev, you can get an API key and make your own button pad the way you want. I may do that if and when I feel plucky enough. I agree that this could be implemented better and perhaps it will mature. I hope that other apps will create profiles but since I use LR/PS a significant amount of time, this is worth keeping though it's not the greatest. I wish this was, overall, just better... YMMV

I recently got the Logitech MX Creative Console, and it’s been a game-changer for my editing workflow. This two-piece console features a customizable keypad and a dialpad, both easy to set up with the Logi Options+ app. It’s especially useful for Adobe Creative Cloud users, with dedicated integrations for Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and others, plus additional apps coming soon. I am personally not a creative cloud user and still find it very useful. I have created my own profiles for Capcut, Davinci Resolve, Krita, and, for the fun of it, even an old Quake 1 map editor. I fully expect to add more profiles for random and obscure apps in the future. The hardware is sturdy, with an aluminum dial and customizable LCD buttons on the keypad. You can create your own graphics to fully customize all the buttons. My only gripe is the current limited selection of third-party apps in the Options+ marketplace, but I’m optimistic this will grow over time as users and developers contribute. A little surprised Blender wasn't on the list at release. I fully expect that and various cad software support soon. Overall, it’s a fantastic addition to any creative setup. But could see the usefulness in Excel, PowerPoint, and other such productivity applications as well. Color matches with my actual computer, bluetooth connectivity is great. Definitely worth its price, highly recommend!

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.
