I use this device primarily for lightroom. It is pretty intuitive to setup and you could easily leave it on default and be happy. The dials are amazing for tuning in all the various develop setting sliders in lightroom. I love the control you get with them advancing by 1 increments or turning quickly to get to 20 50 etc. The free software works well with windows and is moderately easy to understand and makes reprogramming the loupedeck buttons a simple process. If this was wireless it'd get 5 stars

There is no denying that it looks great on my desk, but the thrills stopped there. I expected this to be an indispensable extension of my editing setup, and that it would make my keyboard and trackpad essentially obsolete by launching and controlling all of my CC apps. I saw it as a way to get that tactile flatbed editing feel on my NLE. The more time I spend working with it the worse I feel about it. I thought mine may be faulty so I emailed customer service, which replied quickly and courteously (you have to give credit where it is due), only to find out that isn't so much a control surface as a collection of shortcut keys to provide limited control of apps that are already running. If I was just starting out and snagged this on sale I would probably love it. I just found it slowed me way down. My disappointment may just be from high expectations, but I did have really high hopes for this that didn't include having to spend hours upon hours reinstalling and tweaking software.

I was really excited to get the CT. When I opened the box, this thing oozed quality. The dials turn really nicely, the main wheel is super smooth and has good resistance. The buttons have a great tactile feel. The build quality is the only reason it receives two stars. Nothing but problems with this unit. Started with its inability to work with Adobe Camera RAW (even though Loupedeck touts its new ability to work with RAW). Designated dials would not work with assigned sliders, deck wouldn't recognize programs, zero functionality with Spotify. Incredibly buggy, at best. The main touchscreen rarely worked within Photoshop. I didn't even want to bother attempting to use in Premiere. I followed the Loupedeck protocol for installation. Installed the appropriate software, ran firmware updates, and did in-app actions to make sure it was recognized.Tried multiple versions of the Loupedeck software and also different versions of Photoshop. The software also does not allow a full reset of the deck. So if you modify any of the settings, there's no way to go back to the factory settings. This means, if you modify one of the touch screen pages or assignments for dials, that's what they're set at. For ever and ever, amen. I'm hoping this is a fluke and just a bad unit. I have requested a replacement and will update if it is any different. This is not how a $550 control deck should operate. This should have been a plug-and-play item with minimal operation preparation. For reference: Mac OS Big Sur 11.1 Macbook Pro 2019 15" 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 16 GB 2400 MHz DDR 4 Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB Adobe Photoshop 2020/2021

Loupedeck CT is the most valuable peripheral I have ever purchased. This tool save hours on production time and is so powerful it’s freaky. Loupedeck also had amazing customer service when I had a small issue with a loose key cover. They replaced the unit in record speed and the folks there were absolutely a pleasure to deal with. As always Adorama gave the best price and got it delivered lightning fast. 5 star rating across the board!
