LogitechMX Creative Console - 9 Customizable LCD Keys, Control Dial for Graphic Design, Video Editing, Control Adobe, Zoom, Spotify and More - Graphite, with 3-Month Adobe Creative Cloud Membership

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!

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!

PROs:+ Solid construction feels like it won't break+ Bluetooth dialpad is wireless+ Button pad has pagination+ Jogging through timelines or zooming is fairly intuitive when configured properly+ Customizations are pretty solid and understandable+ Contextual wheel actions can adjust based on a keypad option selected+ Stacked/macro actions are useful+ Adapt to App switches profiles based on your active application (possible con though)EHHs:+/- Buttons on keypad have rounded edges which refract the light in a weird wayCONs:- Setup process is a huge nightmare- Profiles are separate for dialpad, keypad and actions ring (could be considered a positive, but if you want Adapt to App enabled, it is not)- Cannot migrate a profile to another app, so you have to start new- Cannot map a profile to another app- Adapt to App does not always work -- you sometimes have to create the app profile using the EXE rather than find the program from your list- Dialpad wheel has no haptic feedback and spins freely, no ability to enable a "stepped" friction mode like you can with many Logitech mice wheels- Options+ software can be frustrating to use (menu hovers disappear too easily)
