Logitech MX Creative Console 9 Customizable Keys - Graphite | Control Dial, for graphic design, Zoom and Spotify, includes 3-Month Adobe Cloud Membership, Stream Deck Accessories

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.

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 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!

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.

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

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 had another brand of macro pad for a while, but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as this one. Yes, it's more, but you get better quality of manufacture from Logi. I especially like that it is possible to export your settings and read them in on another computer. I have two of these consoles, one black and another grey, because I want to use them on two different machines. Even without the exportation of settings, it's pretty quick to set up. Most of my time setting up the original was due to having to google how to export and import. Logi's instructions aren't very good, but once you know how to do something then it goes pretty quick. I use four layers, and every layer has custom images for all nine buttons on any given layer. Looks great, and I am very chuffed that putting icons on these buttons is very easy. As is the ability to set the text, so that you can have your private images minus words if that's what you want. Like I said, I have two now, and might even get another...

Todo excelente

Ufak tefek yazılımsal geliştirmeler yapılması gerekiyor ama genel itibari ile iyi cihaz.

The Logitech MX creative console is really good! It helps make precise adjustments to exposure and every other slider in Lightroom, very effectively and efficiently. The control dial is very smooth and you can set it to be however, much a little you have to spin it to make the adjustments. There is a very nice so that you can be as precise or as quick as possible. The programmable keys are really helpful, I put it each button has a different slider in Lightroom so that I could just go through the process and go through exposure and shadows and highlights saturation and just click all of the keys and scroll the dial and I have no need for the mouse except to use mask. They are very well built and nice materials. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing! Made my workflow atleast 3 times faster.
