Loupedeck Loupedeck CT

I had been looking for a controller that would work across all the applications that I use but quickly came to the realisation that a lot of the better options are locked down to 1 or 2 applications, were ridiculously expensive for the features provided or didn't seem fit for purpose.

The Loupedeck CT may look unassuming but is incredibly powerful for such a small device. Connecting and powered over a single USB C cable (USB A adapter included in the box), the controller allows complete customisation for, what I can only assume, every application you may want to use and doesn't have to be just limited to creative apps. Each button, whether hardware or touch, can be assigned to a number of different functions whether that be launching an app, running a macro, clicks and keypresses and many other options.

The downloadable software comes with some pre-programmed applications and relevant shortcuts, however there is an ever growing library of profiles that can be downloaded directly through the marketplace. If you should find that an app you use does not have a profile included you are easily able to set up your own profile.

What I have found to be most useful is when adjusting an applications setting that requires a little more finesse than a mouse and keyboard combo can provide such as colour correction.

Loupedeck really streamlines your work flow, so you can get more done more quickly, and it’s so versatile. It can be used with any application to speed up shortcuts and often used commands.
