Loupedeck Live is a customizable desktop console that lets you switch between the tools you need to either edit photos/videos/audio, control live streams, and browse the Web. Connecting to your Mac or Windows computer over an included USB cable, Loupedeck Live works as a natural extension of your keyboard, mouse, and/or graphic tablet to provide streamlined, efficient control in popular editing software and streaming platforms. Loupedeck Live features native integration with many applications, such as Adobe Lightroom Classic, Premiere Pro, and OBS Studio (see below), and is also compatible with many others.
Designed context-aware, Loupedeck Live provides you with all the tools of the editing or streaming applications you create a profile for. For streaming, Loupedeck Live is designed with deep integration with Twitch, Streamlabs, and OBS Studio (Streamlabs and OBS Studio integrations are currently only supported on Windows). The console lets you customize and organize all your actions, go live in seconds, switch between scenes and sources, record gameplay, and save replays.
In a compact form, Loupedeck Live offers a touchscreen and dials and color-coded buttons that provide you with haptic feedback, which confirms each operation so you know you're in control, even when making micro-adjustments. You can customize your own toolsets into each of these controls for your editing and streaming operations or download ready-made profiles for free from Loupedeck.
Custom profiles and plug-ins can be created or downloaded for free for any software you wish to use the Loupedeck Live with, including the applications that are natively supported. Custom profiles rely on keyboard shortcuts and macros, whereas plug-ins allow you to use API-based actions as well.

Loupedeck LOUPEDECK Reviews
They are okay
These don't work 90% of the time on adobe products. Its okay
No brainer for photo and video creators
Total game changer in terms of productivity. Super value.
Pretty good
It's pretty good, definitely a time-saver. I use it for Lightroom. One issue I've noticed is the mouse has to be in the right spot for certain adjustments to work. Mainly, if it's over the filmstrip, LR doesn't recognize some of the commands sent by the console.
Love this little guy
I'm using it on an iMac Pro (Big Sur, CC2022) in Premier, AfterEffects and the finder so far. For color correction and the integration with Lumetri this thing is a dream! I never knew how much I needed to keep my hand on dials while moving thru the color settings. My color chops have already improved. Indispensable and I am only scratching the surface.
Not Without Quirks, But Great Overall
This is basically exactly the auxiliary interface device I have been looking for forever. Or, I guess, at least since I gave up my c. 2005 Wacom Intuos4 with the programmable touch strips and buttons and little OLED labels (oh, the sweet memories). This does exactly that, but with more real estate, knobs, and color screens. The build is solid, the kickstand is a little chintzy but otherwise no complaints. The knobs have a great tactile feel and nice smooth detents, feels like about 15 degrees per detent. You can use it to lean back and twiddle knobs instead of operating slider controls, which is a joy for color correction in Premiere. Or you can use it for keyboard shortcuts- it is a BIG time-saver in After Effects. The software comes with really nicely thought-out preload functions. It's spendy, but if you spend all day operating software with complex key commands, it pays for itself rapidly in time savings, and being able to keep my dominant hand on the trackball or Cintiq instead of punching for far-flung keys is a huge ergonomic improvement too. Looks great on the desk, too.
Much better than expected!
Like everyone else who Lightrooms, using a keyboard is an incredible time saver when it comes to sorting. Picking, rejecting, ranking, color labels, your standard keyboard is excellent for this and pretty hard to beat when it comes to cost since you already own it. When a series of dials came out that were Lightroom compatible a few years ago I got really excited and then I saw the price tag and, well, it was a lot for some physical dials. Enter the Loupedeck Live. I know a lot of people who use the aforementioned expensive option, others who use MIDI controllers with some software hoops to jump through, and others who still use the mouse. If you are one of these people and very happy about your workflow I'm certainly not the one to tell you to do something different. However, if you want to run through a shoot library, picking and rejecting and ranking as you go, flip over to the develop module, spin a few dials to do some initial quick adjustments, and keep working without having to look to the right panel to see where the sliders are, well, this might be for you. This has sped things up surprisingly and I'm happy to spend less time in front of my computer. My workflow is still similar to before, sort, rank, develop the ones I picked, but I do find myself looking at some images on the edge of being picked and just doing a quick adjustment to see if they can be saved and then flipping back to the library. Having it all done with two hands on the small controller is incredibly time saving. It does all that I was really looking for it to do and very well at that. The software is fully adjustable, you can tweak it to assign keyboard commands to buttons or dials (and the dials also work as buttons!) and the lower eight buttons work to change modules. You can also use it in other programs, I use it in Photoshop and in a few flight simulators for keyboard commands and I imagine you can use it with Capture One without issues as well. I know there are concerns with the earlier software where you had to buy extra packages to allow the Live to work with more than two programs and they had structured control over what buttons did what but this is fully functional at this point. The major negative that I have experienced is in the lag for brush size or image zoom, but I cheat and use a Wacom tablet for actual zooming and adjusting. I do absolutely see where some commenters have found the Live to be frustrating though, it's a very reasonable complaint for a device that is designed to do these things. However, it's less than half the price of the competition and a very small footprint on my desk, I don't usually bother to put it away.
