These things get the job done. I do wish that the dial could plug in instead of just relying on Bluetooth, but besides that, programming the buttons was fairly straight forward, and everything connected pretty seamlessly. Because I already have a Logitech mouse and a backup webcam, I didn’t have to install any extra software, which was also nice.Read W
Now let’s talk about the MX Creative Console jog wheel—honestly, it’s not great for scrubbing through footage. I used to rely on my Shuttle Pro for that, but with the new M4 MacBook Air, that’s no longer an option.Watch M
However, the assembly is excellent, nothing is loose or creaks, the modules themselves look quite reliable. What is missing is more weight for more reliable fixation of the modules on the table. The weight of the Keypad is only 96 grams plus 61 grams of the stand for it, the Dialpad weighs a little more due to the batteries – 128 grams.Read S

4.1.0 added support for the Logitech MX Creative Console as a surface, but I haven't been able to get it working on that version, nor 4.1.1. I have been able to get Julian's demo working just fine, but Companion won't see it no matter how many times I click rescan usb. I tried uninstalling the stock Logitech software, which didn't seem to make a difference.Read W
