Loupedeck More Photo and Video Editing Console for Adobe Lightroom Classic, Photoshop CC, Camera Raw, Premier Pro CC, After Effects, Audition, Final Cut Pro X and Skylum Aurora HDR

Despite the fact that this is second one I ordered (first one ordered for photographer friend), I missed to take unboxing video, as was unpacking like a child ;) for me this is second brand found here on Amazon, after Anker, who has great packaging, minimalist, still stylish and enough secure for shipping.The rest is from the point of view of Adobe Lightroom Classic user (not using other apps and maybe will try if it will work with Luminar later):Design is great as of allocation of controls and buttons, practically you have access to all major functions at a time and doubling them with fn button.Especially rotary and scrol controls with "reset" functions with click (depress).Both above mentioned makes it easy to use for all categories of users from beginner level and up...In addition it has wonderful app to manage device functionality, changing and fine-tuning settings out of default app specific presets.As of value for the money it seems great to me - and I'm not trying to evaluate and compare even other manufacturer's devices, but even compared to their advanced model CT - even if this one is bigger and "bulkier ", still ability to have simultaneous access to multiple scrolls and dials at a time (2 hand operation) is "advantage" over CT's design, especially for beginners and specific to photo processing. Plus price is half of that...I'm planning to play around this one and also get CT later, so I can compare those two...Overall, this is an amazing tool.

Coming from a traditional darkroom where you turn knobs to make actual adjustments, this is SOOO cool and not just in a novelty way... The price is pretty hard to take, but if you are in a stuation going though a lot (hundreds/thousands) of photos at a time its well worth it just for sorting ease. I can also see how overtime it will allow you to become a better editor I am already finding myself using adjustments i would have never used without the ease of the loupedeck. Only complaint is the cord but I think speed would drop if it was cordless ask a gamer... lolOverall I am happy I splurged on myself I think the quality is good, and its not that much more than a MAC/Corsair/other high end mechanical keyboard. It would be cool if it was built like a Corsair keyboard... I don't need RGB but that cord... It would be better braided since this is going to get moved anytime its not in use, also at least backlight stuff PLEASE lol the color wheel dots are pretty small and who likes to have ambient light on to read a keyboard? Also since you insist needing a USB it would be cool if you had a passthrough USB on the deck somewhere, it's wide enough you could easily put one on the side (I am sure you are already developing the next version). Its mostly NICE plastic.... Titanium or something would be cool but then again I probably couldn't afford it if you did that lol. But don't think because it's plastic its 'cheap' its extremely well made. I think a lot of the bugs and stuff you read will be resolved with firmware updates, just make sure you are using the correct Lightroom version for your firmware it matters. ALSO INSTALL DIVERS BEFORE YOU PLUG IT IN!!!!
