Logitech MX Creative Console: Programmable Keypad With 9 Customizable LCD Keys and Control Dial for Graphic Design, Video Editing, Photography (Graphite)

Elevate your creative workflow with the Logitech MX Creative Console. This compact, purpose-built keypad brings a nine-key LCD backbone and a precision control dial to your desktop, so you can access shortcuts, adjust settings, and execute multi-step actions in a fraction of the time. Designed for designers, filmmakers, photographers, and content creators, the MX Creative Console helps you stay in the flow—no more hunting for tools or juggling mouse and keyboard. Its backlit, context-aware LCD keys display the right icons exactly when you need them, while the tactile dial delivers smooth, accurate control for edits, scrubs, and fine-tuning. Whether you’re laying out graphics in Photoshop, trimming clips in Premiere Pro, tweaking color in DaVinci Resolve, or collaborating on a Zoom call, this console keeps your essential commands at your fingertips in a graphite finish that complements any professional setup.

• 9 Customizable LCD Keys that display dynamic, app-specific icons and labels. Each key can be programmed with multi-step macros, sequences, or single actions, giving you lightning-fast access to your most-used workflows. With profiles that adapt automatically to the app you’re using, you’ll see context-relevant shortcuts that align with your current task. The result is a faster edit, cleaner timelines, and fewer interruptions as you switch between tools. These backlit keys help you stay productive even in dim studio lighting, making it easier to locate the right command without looking away from your screen.
• Precision Control Dial for nuanced adjustments. The dial provides tactile, low-latency control ideal for scrubbing through clips, adjusting brush size, dialing heat in color grading, or fine-tuning audio levels. Its smooth rotation and subtle feedback let you perform delicate edits with confidence, while programmable actions let you map rotation to zoom, scrub speed, or parameter steps. The dial is designed to feel natural in long sessions, reducing fatigue and accelerating your editing cadence.
• Seamless App Profiles and Integration that connect with your favorite creative tools. Create dedicated mappings for Adobe Creative Cloud apps (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects) as well as video editors, photo editors, and even streaming or collaboration apps like Zoom and music apps like Spotify. Save and switch profiles with a single key press, so your shortcuts stay aligned with your current project—no more reconfiguring settings mid-work. This level of integration helps you maintain a consistent workflow across multiple apps and projects.
• Backlit LCD Keys with Clear Visual Cues for quick recognition in any lighting. The backlighting not only makes icons easy to read but also supports color-coded cues that you can tailor to your workflow. The LCDs display real-time contextual information—labels, short descriptions, or icons—so you can confirm actions before you execute them. This visual clarity reduces mis-commands and accelerates your editing pace, especially during tight deadlines or complex multi-step tasks.
• Ergonomic, Durable Design with a compact footprint that sits neatly beside your keyboard. The graphite finish looks professional and blends with most desk setups, while the build quality is designed for daily use in busy editing suites or on-location shoots. USB-powered simplicity means plug-and-play setup and reliable performance without clutter. Lightweight portability makes it easy to take the MX Creative Console to client meetings or studio shoots, ensuring you have immediate access to your shortcuts wherever you work.
