Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2024
it takes a little bit to learn how to use it but if you stick with it you soon realize your workflow has increased by nearly tenfold and the controls are so buttery smooth that for someone like myself who has arthritis you no longer have any kind of pain in your fingers and are ready for whatever is next.
It does have some flaws however, like for instants it has the Bluetooth built-in but the software is not available just yet, some of the functionality needs some smoothing out in new software updates but that is not enough to make this a dealbreaker.
Pros:
- Beside the presets for several creativity tools I have - which come out of the box - I have also found some more profiles from other companies in the web (e.g. on1 - limited, but something is there) which is awesome.
- With 6 programmable & rotatable knobs and a jog shuttle like controller +12 programmable buttons and so on really nice to adjus to your own liking!
- With the nice task assignment functionality I was able to even use the device for other use cases (e.g. programming tools, app launcher, etc.)
- Adding it behind a KVM let you share easily the device with multiple computers and each computer can have its own set of settings!
- Uses USB-C - nice!
Downs:
- Not cheap!
- Do not expect to get support for Lightroom 6 or before - or any non CC Adobe products. That would be really awesome - but those versions are apparently not supported (anymore). Makes you really wonder.
- The support for Capture one is in there - and it is claimed that e.g. version 20 would be supported, but many functions do not work for the old version (even on the first screen). If you want to have nice display buttons and more controls you can buy the presets from another company for 35$. It's not that I do not want to earn more folks some money - but if you pay more than 500$'s you would guess that this is somehow included?
- I couldn't see problems reported by other testers - however - I can see that with a lower viewing angle on the display in front of the monitor, the LCD display has a shimmering effect like oil in the water (rainbow pattern - starting with <60 degrees angle which is really a lot narrower than you would think). Not necessarily a showstopper but it is clearly annoying.
- When adding app shortcuts (under "Run") you should not use quotes around the file names (like when copying them from Windows shortcuts) as these quotes will make the extcutable path unusable. So remove.
Comments:
- I did test on Windows so far, not on Mac yet. Only saw that the device didn't came on when it was connected over the lightning cable behind a KVM. But I didn't install the SW there yet.
- Plan to watch some of the training videos (~20 minutes total) and it will help you to safe a lot of time later on as some things are not as obvious from the getgo but are getting really good to understand once you have heard the explanation.
- Once you have set it up you can save your profile. You can then apply the same profile to another computer, correct the paths if neccessary and you are done!
General verdict:
The device is really useful and helped me to optimize my workflow for many things - and it is also a great eye catcher for sure.
Plan to take some time to get into the device and all the controls to learn how it is getting used! E.g. I did not realize first that you can use a swipe on the display to advance to the next page.
And - of course: It is quite a lot of money.

We have used sound boards designed for audio recording to perform similar functionality to the loupdeck up until a week ago.. My counsel of 8 years finally broke so I decided to try this.
We used open source programs to set up our old system. It was a lot of work. However, The result was a nearly doubling the speed of editing without a sacrifice in quality.
The reason we stayed on that platform was the programmability of each button to each of our photographers styles and workflow.
This loupdeck CT has taken all these same benefits and put them into a excellent little device. It's built well. The preset functions are intuitive. Programing is easy. Even after nearly a decade of my mustle memory being use to my old setup I have found the transition to this setup great! I'm still slower than the old one but I can tell that will change fast and it's a matter of learning a little more.
Rember when you get a device like this, it's built to perform a complex task everyone does a little differently. The learning curve will be hard. Don't get frustrated, it's like a musical instrument. At first you will be slow and it will sound horrible. But after time things will get better and once you get used to using it you will love it. Remember, your other hand hasent been doing much until you plug something like this is. You are able to move digital Lightroom sliders by hand and there are lots of them. Take your time.
Like anything that is made to perform complex tasks you won't just go at 100% out of the gate!

Una vez que te acostumbras a usarla y la configuras dependiendo el ritmo de tus ediciones ya no volverás a usar tu teclado en su mayoría y te ahorrara mucho tiempo ya que puedes tener bastantes atajos o incluso crearlos para optimizar tus tiempos.
Fue una compra que vale la pena por completo.

Por último, la interface.
He usado otras marcas de consola, por lo gral las aplicaciones que controlan esas consolas suelen ser muy malas, en LoupedeckCONFIG, puedes realizar muchas cosas, lo que más me gusta la posiblidad de retroceder o avanzar en el historial que vamos realizando (cmdZ o crtlZ). La recomiendo para profesionales de video y animación.

Nella confezione non è presente un vero e proprio manuale, che però si può trovare sul sito del produttore così come il software; entrambe non disponibili in italiano.
