Unlike the Stream Deck, which you mechanically press down like you do on a keyboard, the Loupedeck's buttons are touch-sensitive with a bit of oddly poorly timed haptic feedback. I set the wheel up to either jog the entire timeline left or right, or move my editing pointer across the timeline. There's a round touch-sensitive screen in the middle of the wheel that you can use to switch modes. In another workspace, I set the dials to control X and Y position on the screen, scaling, and rotating.īut by far my favorite feature - and this alone makes the Loupedeck worth the money - is the ability to program the wheel for different functions. I set up a color correction workspace, with the dials set to manage red, green, blue, as well as saturation and a few other controls. So even though there are only six dials, you can give them a lot to control. Once inside of a program, you can create workspaces. ![]() The Loupedeck automatically switches profiles as you switch programs. It has three small dials on each side of its customizable button array, and a single larger wheel in the middle, below the buttons. The device itself is 160x150mm (6.3 x 5.9 inches), or roughly the size of a trade paperback book. You can clearly see the dials and the large wheel. I'll talk about the dials first, then circle back around (pun only partially intended) to the buttons later. In my opinion, the Stream Deck (which was originally designed for Twitch-streaming gamers) does buttons far better than the Loupedeck, but the value add of the dials is not to be underestimated. But the Loupedeck adds dials and additional buttons that the Stream Deck doesn't have. Like the Stream Deck, the Loupedeck CT offers a series of programmable buttons with button caps you can customize through profiles. In many ways, the Loupedeck CT seems like the bigger brother of the Elgato Stream Deck, which I also use with Final Cut. As such, I only tested the Loupedeck with Final Cut, and this review is aimed primarily at Final Cut editors. More to the point, I rarely spend more than an hour or so per project in Photoshop, but I can spend weeks at a time in Final Cut. ![]() I have decades of muscle memory for those two applications. I'm an active user of Photoshop and Illustrator. ![]()
