Logitech MX Creative Console, 9 Customizable LCD Keys, Stream Deck Accessories, Control Dial for Graphic Design, Adobe, Zoom, Spotify - Graphite, 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.

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.

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.
