Logitech MX Creative Console, Programmable Keypad With 9 Customisable LCD Keys and Control Dial for Graphic Design, Video Editing, Photography, use with Adobe, Zoom, Spotify and more - Pale Grey

I spend most of my day at a computer, so having a console device like this can just make the repetitive, mundane tasks that little bit easier.Setting up the console device was a bit tedious, but it has been well worth it. It was lots of trial and error to get things set up exactly how I wanted, but for me now, the consoles have become an extension of my keyboard that I would struggle without. Having shortcuts that open selected files/folders/apps has been extremely handy, and has made working on my computer that little bit easier.In terms of physical quality, I'd say the console devices feel quite premium. The console devices don't feel flimsy, and all the buttons/dial/keys have a satisfying input feel. They're very responsive too, so I'm very impressed with the quality.It's fair to say that this console device isn't a cheap bit of kit, and it won't be for everyone. However, I personally can see the value in this console, so I would recommend it!

I have not rushed to review this for two reasons. Firstly it does have a "learning curve" so not something to review soon after delivery and secondly my editing requirements have not been high recently. I don't work well on "practices" and really need a project to get my teeth into to find out how well something works.A little background is that I once edited video with a Panasonic Umatic edit desk with input and output recorders with the final edit copied on to VHS and Betamax. The system filled a room and had quite a learning curve. These days of course I use my PC and Mac so it all comes down to manipulating a mouse. Its great but I really moss some of the "manual" control.The first impression of this kit was as expected, good quality. My use so far has been very much on a learning curve but I am moving forward and with a little effort I think this is likly to be my go to system for the future. The lack of the 5th star is purely as I think the documentation could be better.

Logitech’s Creative Console is one of those rare tools that actually elevates your workflow once you get used to it. The build quality is superb — premium materials, smooth dial, and bright LCD keys that are responsive and fully customisable.Whether you're editing in Photoshop, scrubbing timelines in Premiere, or just managing your daily tasks, this console adapts brilliantly. The dial is surprisingly intuitive, offering both fast navigation and precise control. I love that the keys switch functions based on the app in use — it’s seamless once you’ve configured it.The setup does take a little tinkering, especially if you're venturing outside Adobe’s ecosystem, but it's worth the time. My only wish is for a fully wireless setup with built-in charging, though the long battery life of the dial is a fair trade-off.At £199.99, it’s definitely an investment — but if you’re a daily creative or multitasker, the time it saves makes it absolutely worthwhile.

I've been using the Logitech Creative Console for a few weeks now, and overall, it's a really solid piece of kit (with a few quirks).Setup was really easy. Everything connected right away, and the Logi+ software is well polished. It’s intuitive and stable, and assigning functions to the different buttons very straightforward. I really like how you can set up multiple pages for different apps or tasks, which makes it easy to keep everything organized and just a tap away. That said, the software still feels like it's missing a few key features. For one, making your own buttons look good isn’t as easy as it should be—there’s no built-in styling, templates or variables so buttons end up looking pretty bad unless you put it a lot of time and effort to try and visually match things up.The hardware itself feels premium. The control units are satisfying to use, and the separate jog wheel/dial on the secondary module is perfect for fine-tuning things like timeline scrubbing or brush sizes or even just change your volume on the fly.My main gripe is the price. It’s expensive, and it’s only sold as a full bundle. I would’ve preferred the option to buy the modules separately based on what I actually need. Also, it doesn’t include a Bolt dongle for wireless use, which feels like a strange omission at this price point.In short: it’s a great tool if you’re deep into the Logitech ecosystem and want something that looks and feels high-end. Just be ready to deal with some software limitations and a hefty price tag.
