Logitech Unveils $199.99 MX Creative Console for Enhanced Adobe Workflow, Competes with Elgato and Razer
September 24, 2024The dialpad component serves as an analog navigation controller, featuring a large aluminum dial and customizable buttons for precise adjustments.
While the console shows promise for improving productivity, it has been noted that it lacks sufficient buttons and dials for comprehensive use across all Adobe applications.
Logitech has collaborated with Adobe to create custom plugins and preset profiles for essential tools in applications like Photoshop and Premiere Pro.
The console provides immediate access to essential controls and extensive customization options, appealing to creative professionals under tight deadlines.
Logitech has introduced the MX Creative Console, a $199.99 device aimed at enhancing productivity for Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro users, following its acquisition of Loupedeck last year.
The console supports three Bluetooth connections and allows extensive customization, including the option to upload custom icons.
Currently, the macro pad and dial are sold as a bundle, but Logitech may consider offering them separately in the future to better compete with various Stream Deck models.
Included with the console is a three-month subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud, supporting a range of applications such as Photoshop, Lightroom, and Ableton.
The Keypad allows for up to 15 programmable actions per application and can be positioned flat or at an angle using a stand, enhancing usability.
This innovative console features a dynamic keypad with customizable display keys and a specialized dial pad that caters to various creative applications, making it user-friendly.
Users can customize controls to fit their workflow through the Logi Options+ app, which also supports automation of repetitive tasks into single button presses.
Positioned as a premium option, the MX Creative Console competes with alternatives from Elgato and Razer, which offer lower-priced options starting at $60.
