I thought I would share this for anyone who doesn’t know that something like this exists. I started using a Loupedeck+ a few months ago and so far it’s been a great experience. I’m a real estate photographer and being able to move through a set without using the mouse to move on-screen sliders has been a game changer. Setting up presets and customizing the buttons took a little trial and error, but now that I have it set up the way I like, it’s been smooth sailing. My only grip is that the build quality could be better. It feels a little light and “cheap”. Also, I would love if it was wireless.

    Could you elaborate a bit more about the build quality aspect? Does it creak or flex?

    There are quite a few options on the market now, though at one point I was considering using a Midi controller with MIDI2LR.

    I did think there was a wireless version by now, but guess not. xD

      So it just has kind of a cheap feel too it. The knobs have no feedback at all. They’re just smooth turning with almost no resistance. It’d be nice if the felt more like the knobs on a sound board. Like if they had some “weight” to them. The wheels that you use to adjust HSL are VERY clickie… Like too clickie. I wish they felt more like a nicer Logitech mouse wheel or something similar. The push buttons also have almost no resistance or feedback. There may some flex but it doesn’t really creak. Overall it’s super useful and I enjoy using it. I just wish it had more of a premium feel especially considering the price.

        Yea, that doesn’t sound great. A nicely damped knob is great for making precision adjustments with. As you said, it’s not cheap, I thought it’d be better than that.
