Logitech introduced the MX Keypad, a new hardware accessory priced at $99.99. This device is equipped with nine full-color LCD keys that users can program for various functions, including launching commands, executing macros, and interacting with AI applications. The MX Keypad aims to provide a compact solution for power users, particularly those involved in coding and AI workflows.
The MX Keypad offers a similar functionality to Logitech's MX Creative Console but at half the price. The Creative Console, which costs $199.99, combines an LCD keypad with a separate dialpad. The new MX Keypad focuses solely on the keypad experience, making it a more accessible option for users who do not require the additional dialpad.
Users can customize the MX Keypad through the free Logi Options+ app, assigning shortcuts, saved prompts, scripts, and macros to individual keys. The device supports app-aware profiles, which automatically switch key layouts based on the active application. The Logi Marketplace provides plugins, profiles, and icon packs, and an SDK is available for developers to build custom plugins using C# and Node.js. The MX Keypad also includes GitHub Copilot integration for VS Code and a three-month subscription to Copilot Pro+.
The MX Keypad connects via USB-C. It is compatible with macOS 13 or later and Windows 10 or later. Community plugins are available for tools like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, offering features such as agent status tracking and terminal controls.
