Logitech MX Creative Console,
\nreview By Colin Smith<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Design and Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The MX Creative Console consists of two parts: a dial and a keypad. The dial is made of high-precision, low-carbon aluminum and has friction bearings. It feels really nice to use and is very precise. The keypad has nine full-color LCD buttons, adjustable brightness, and two paging buttons. You can use the keypad to access different tools and functions in your creative applications.<\/p>\n

The MX Creative Console is also very comfortable to use. The dial and keypad are separate units, so they can be placed together, or separately to suit your personal work space and style. To me, this is the killer feature that makes it so much more usable than previous consoles. \u00a0The keypad can also be used flat or with the included stand. You can also tuck the cable away, so it doesn’t get in your way.<\/p>\n

Software:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The MX Creative Console comes with a new application called Options+. This application allows you to customize the dial and keypad to your liking. You can also create different profiles for different applications. There are profiles that you can download for free on the marketplace to get you going right away.<\/p>\n

Functionality:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The MX Creative Console is a very versatile device. You can use it to adjust different parameters in your creative applications, such as brush size, hardness, and flow. You can also use it to create adjustment layers and other effects. The MX Creative Console also works with a variety of different applications, including Photoshop, Lightroom, and Premiere Pro.<\/p>\n

Value:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The MX Creative Console is less expensive than I expected, coming in at $199 USD. \u00a0It also comes with a 3-month all-apps subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud, which almost covers the cost of the console! This 3 month sub, even applies to existing subscribers.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The MX Creative Console is a fantastic new input device that can help you be more productive. It is well-designed, comfortable to use, and has a ton of features that will save you time and effort. I highly recommend it to anyone who uses a computer for creative work.<\/p>\n
