Music, Screenshot, Window Management, and More With the Logitech MX Creative Console

• John

In September, I wrote a first look at the MX Creative Console, Logitech’s answer to the Elgato Stream Deck. I also did a short video walkthrough of the device on our YouTube channel.

In the weeks since then, the device has continued to grow on me as I find more and more uses for it. It’s worth noting, though, that what I’m doing with the MX Creative Console’s keypad can also be done with a Stream Deck, so other than the software used to assign keyboard shortcuts to the device, my Creative Console tip should work equally well for Stream Deck users. I just prefer the MX Creative Console’s size and the the fact that it’s paired with a separate dialpad that comes in handy for audio, image, and video editing apps.
