Customer Ratings & Reviews

Logitech has been making top notch peripherals for many years that just help you get more done - so it's no surprise that their entry into the "creative" programmable keypad/dialpad realms is sleek, well designed and just plain works. But it's not just for creative professionals (or hobbyists), it can help with any number of areas. First, the basics. You get two main pieces here. The first is a wireless "dialpad" controller for 4 programmable buttons, a vertical "roller" scroll wheel and the dial controller itself. The dialpad connects to up to 3 computers (switch between them with a button on the back) wirelessly using either Bluetooth or a (not included) Bolt USB-A dongle. The second is a programmable "keypad" with 9 primary buttons (each with their own mini screen to show you what the button is set up to do at the moment) and 2 "page" buttons. The keypad uses a USB-C to USB-C cable (since the mini screens use power, it wouldn't last long if it were wireless) and also comes with a stand to keep it at a nice viewing angle. Configuration is done via the latest version of the standard Logi Options+ software, but you need the newest version available as of this writing (released the week of 10/14/24) to do so. There are a number of "pre-built" setups for various applications - the Options+ software searches your computer for software it recognizes and suggests installing these setups so that whenever you active a compatible program, the keypad and dialpad automatically switch to the right configuration - or you can build and configure your own setups for both. The designed usage paradigm here is clearly for creative folks - you can say use the keypad to switch between commonly used tools in a drawing or photo editing program and then using the dial and roller on the dialpad to fine tune the size / etc. of the tool. This is a great use and a great way to use the set in tandem, but it's hardly the ONLY way to use it. Streamers will love having dedicated keys for various key functions to control their streams, anyone working with audio can use the dial to fine tune mixing or other analog functions and the like. But frankly as someone who works full time at home, I love the integration with Zoom. I spend about 30 hours a day on Zoom meetings (it seems) and the integration here is great - when I start a meeting / the Zoom window gets focus, the keypad changes to a set of Zoom function keys that I can use to control mic/screen share/etc. effortlessly. It's frankly brilliant and a great boost to my productivity. And that's just in the first week of using this - I'm sure I'll find more great ways to use it in the coming days and weeks! So if you could use a bit more productivity (or creativity) in your day, this Logitech setup is a great booster from a top tier brand. Give it a try today!

I’m a Logitech fan and had high hopes for this product. I’m mostly satisfied, but there are a few quirks and absent features. 1. The rotating knob is connected to the computer via Bluetooth. Sometimes I’ll reach over to adjust volume and the computer doesn’t respond. It turns out that it needs some time to wake up if it hasn’t been used in a while. About 3 - 5 seconds. 2. I really wish the knob was also a button. Programmable. Push to mute. Push to mark. Whatever. 3. There really aren’t any plugins (or whatever they’re called) beyond those developed for Adobe apps. Which means that I’m programming everything manually. And the only app functionality I can tap into are those that have a keyboard shortcut. Teams. SketchUp. Pixelmator Pro. PowerPoint. That’s a lot of setup time. 4. The whole thing feels a bit cheap. I would say it’s appropriate given the price tag (really not a bad price), but they could have added a bit of weight or stiffener up the buttons/knob a bit for a more premium feel. All things considered, it’s an impressive device and I’m hopeful that advanced users and Logitech join forces to make it better and better over time.

This is a great tool! My productivity has skyrocketed since using this. Especially when navigating through my files and editing in Final Cut. I like all the customization you can do to the key panel to make it personal for you. My only concern is the screen burn in… I had this on for hours on one single page and for the next 2 or 3 days, it burned that image onto the screen. After a couple of days, it is fine now, but definitely something to be aware of. Overall I recommend this to anyone that can afford it.

Had problems on my Mac using Final Cut Pro (what I purchased it for.) Worked with Logitech support over a couple weeks and now it works like a charm! The amount of shortcuts with FCP is overwhelming for a beginner and frustrating! This console along with the Logitech MX Keyboard and Mouse is a complete dream workflow. I can't recommend it enough!

Love this device. Very customizable and stable. I use the multiple screens for different projects. Really helps make things more efficient. Worth the money

Needed something to easily navigate video in order to make clips and this is a home run. Love the interface and simple ease of use (so far for Final Cut Pro but the expandability to other apps is seamless).

Great for editing videos especially in Adobe Premier Pro. They have default profiles you can use or make your own. Reduces amount of time spent editing videos.

I’ve really enjoyed this. It has really helped speed up my work flow in photoshop for the more tedius or repetitive things. The only negative input that I have, is that there are only a limited amout of adobe applications that fully support the product and I hope this is short lived.

I like the customization, although I didn’t find ways to customize all things that I wanted to program into these buttons. Photoshop Lightroom, for some reason didn’t have a plug-ins only Lightroom classic.

Very useful for Adobe products. If you use Adobe creative suite on a daily basis, this is well worth the money.

I still have a lot to get done to have this exactly where I need it; but so far, so good. Loving it.

I saw a ton of YouTube videos about this some I thought I needed one. Well, I believe Logitech sent one to every creative YouTube influencer and created a lot of hype around this. I think it's a decent start but I want to see more non-Adobe apps right out of the box. The non-Apple selection is sparse and I didn't find very useful whatsoever. I believe a second version with more non-Adobe native apps will be worth a second look. For now, I didn't think I'd get enough use it enough for $200 at this point.

The ability to hotkey just about anything for any program is an incredibly useful tool that makes a design workflow much simpler, especially as similar tools have different keyboard shortcuts.

No issues at all. Plug it in and go. I would recommend.

Exactly as pictured, Christmas request from my teenager majoring in media production

Amazing product! I returned it because I am a beginner,

This product is advertised as “for Photoshop”, but it doesn’t work with the Adobe Camera Raw portion of it. Hard to believe. To make things worse, the knob is incredibly slippery, making it very difficult to operate. Has it been tested by a Product Manager? And don’t get me started with the terrible software (clearly Logitech doesn’t understand software). I was a Logitech fan until I purchased this product…

When you're working with photo editing, video editing, or CAD programs there can be a staggering number of tasks where the intended way to carry them out is to go through five nested menus and clicking on a single button. Most will eventually get tired of this and start trying to set up keyboard shortcuts, however depending on how many you have to memorize this isn't always much better. That's where products like the MX Creative console comes in. With the ability to set up pretty much however many shortcut buttons you want with each one being labeled, it can be a godsend for the macro hounds among us. And, for the most part, it does what it sets out to do. First, let's cover the pros. A lot of the supplemental keypads on the market can be fairly large and difficult to place on a desk - so this one stands apart in how compact it is. The 9 key pad can be set either flat on the desk or propped up with an included weighted stand, and while there are larger options which require less scrolling through pages I didn't find myself missing them. The wireless jogwheel is a bit bulkier but since it doesn't need a USB connection it's a lot easier to find a spot for it. Build quality feels very good throughout too. There's no wobble or rattle in any of the moving parts, the screen is bright and very easy to read even with relatively small fonts, and everything feels as durable as one would expect from a professional focused product. It did admittedly take a little getting used to trying to integrate it into my workflow, and it's still an ongoing process, but it can definitely be a nice little time saver and save you a lot of aggravation trying to memorize yet another application specific keyboard combination. That said, there are definitely a few headaches here that keep me from giving it full marks. Right now there are only a handful of officially supported applications that have profiles already set up, most of which were produced by Adobe. While this certainly makes sense I was a little surprised to see no options for a CAD suite or something similar, which is what I find myself using it for the most. Getting a new application added can definitely be a bit tedious but more importantly I noticed that the software sometimes struggles to figure out when to automatically switch to the appropriate profile for anything you added yourself. Additionally the only option for a connector in the box was a USB-C cable. While this is fine for a Mac or most laptops, a lot of workstations are still lagging behind in that area and Logitech in particular seems to be rolling out a lot of USB-C only hardware lately that's quickly filling up the ports I do have. Fortunately the cable isn't permanently attached, but it seems like an odd decision. Finally, the jogwheel is the first wireless device I've seen in a very long time that opts for disposable AAA batteries instead of an internal rechargeable. Since it's lacking a screen I imagine battery life should be pretty decent here, but honestly I don't think I would have minded another cable hookup (or at least the option for one) instead of having to rely exclusively on bluetooth or an RF link, as both can be a bit unreliable in some environments. Most annoying, though, is the fact that neither of the two wheels have any kind of detente to allow for more precise stepping. Logitech mice have been using adjustable wheels that can swap between precision and smooth modes for years, so it feels a little underwhelming that the feature is completely absent from a more focused productivity tool like this. All in all I don't think these will be dealbreakers for most. It's still a very good productivity tool, at the end of the day. But I don't think it'll necessarily win everyone over either.

The Logitech MX Creative Console is a great desk companion for creatives looking to streamline their creative workflow. Out of the box, it's ready with native integrations for popular software like Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Illustrator. The backlit LCD keys are an instant standout- they're customizable and allow me to label actions specific to each project. Switching between applications is seamless, as I can use Logitech's own profiles or build my own to further personalize the controls. The console's intuitive setup and user-friendly interface make it a breeze to start and boost your productivity. One feature I find particularly helpful is the console's dial-pad which makes precision adjustments easy. Adjusting brush sizes in Photoshop feels natural and intuitive with the tactile dial and roller, eliminating the need to click through menus and the Actions Ring overlay makes keeping my tools right at my cursor accessible. Another major perk of the MX Creative Console is Logitech's marketplace, which offers a variety of additional plugins, icon packs, and profiles. I found it incredibly helpful in refining the console's functionality to fit my workflow better. These can further customize the console's controls and enhance its compatibility with a broader range of creative software. There are a few things to keep in mind, though. While Bluetooth connectivity is excellent, I found it somewhat laggy compared to the USB-C connection, which is much more responsive. Battery life is solid at up to 18 months with AAA batteries, but I would have preferred a rechargeable option for sustainability. Additionally, it would be nice if the keypad was slightly more compact as it takes up a bit of desk space, though the included stand does make positioning flexible. Pros: - Intuitive setup with native app integrations for Adobe and more - Customizable LCD keys and Actions Ring overlay for tailored workflows - Precise tactile dial-pad and roller for easy adjustments - Includes 3 months Adobe Creative Cloud subscription - Expansive marketplace with plugins, icons, and profiles Cons: - Bluetooth can be slightly laggy compared to USB-C - AAA battery usage (I'd prefer a rechargeable battery) - Somewhat large footprint on my desk Overall, the Logitech MX Creative Console is a versatile and powerful tool for creatives who value efficiency and customization. At $199 it's a bit of an investment but well worth it for the everyday creator.

Simply put, this is an amazing addition to a keyboard and mouse that speeds up productivity in many ways whether that’s launching any app at a push of a button, accessing nearly any function on your computer, or simplifying advanced tasks like video or photo editing. There’s two components with a keypad with quick access keys and another with a jog dial. What’s great is that you can use just one, the other, or both depending on your needs. The secret sauce is the crazy amount of customization with every button and dial where you can assign nearly any function you can think of and the customization can be context sensate based on which program you’re currently working in. With general computing on a Mac, the keypad is set up with common tasks like play/pause/skipping tracks (with whatever is playing - whether that’s Spotify, YouTube, etc… and it doesn’t even need to be an active window!), you can launch the emoji popup, you can launch Finder, and you can even take screenshots on the fly. Love that feature. And of course, you can customize these keys to do many other things throughout. The same thing goes for the dialpad where the dial, up/down roller, as well as the 4 other buttons can be assigned to do many things, but by default the dial and roller are set to adjusting volume and vertical scrolling and the other keys are set to undo/redo, escape, and showing the Action Ring. Oh ya...the action ring! That extends the functionality even more with 8 more actions that you can access on the fly. So if you'd rather keep your hand on the dialpad console and not use the keypad, you can assign functions to the action ring (in addition to the 4 buttons on the dialpad unit) so your hand doesn’t have to move away. It’s fantastic with general productivity but where it shines for me is video editing in Premiere Pro. I can move and zoom throughout the timeline quickly with the dials but it also let’s me access the numerous functions that I normally access using keyboard shortcuts. Being able to quickly switch from a razor/cut tool, to a pen tool, to adding text or adding graphics is a huge time-saver. I almost feel like this was made for video editors based on how much it’s helped my workflow but I have to imagine it increases productivity in many other apps. My only “complaint” is that I wish the control pad was wireless but I can understand the need to be wired due to being backlit. It would likely have a short battery life if it were wireless but I wish they would at least give that option for those of us who would prefer a completely wireless setup. The hardware is built extremely well but the sheer amount of customization is what makes this nearly indispensable if you’re looking for boosting productivity. Huge kudos to Logitech for really thinking this through. Being a long-time fan of their MX Master mouse series, I can’t imagine my desk without these as well as my MX Master.
