Logitech has launched a two-part console pitched at creative professionals that combines a customizable keypad with a dedicated dial. Dubbed the Logitech MX Creative Console, it builds on the formula popularized by Elgato’s Stream Deck devices, but adds a little extra.
Logitech’s clearly worked closely with Adobe to create a series of profiles for each of these apps, creating dozens of useful shortcuts. The Photoshop Retouch profile, for example, includes shortcuts for the Remove tool, Dodge and Burn, the Lasso, the Magic Wand and many more. The idea is that it saves you having to hunt for your most-used functions in the labyrinth menus or remember keyboard shortcuts, and simply dab a button on the console instead.
Logitech’s keypad only has nine customizable buttons, which is fewer than the regular Stream Deck or the Stream Deck XL , but it does have two page buttons, making it painless to access more than nine functions for each app. There’s a second scroll dial on the unit, similar in function to the scroll wheel on a mouse, which lets you zoom in and out of images, or up and down the page if you’re on a long website.
