Logitech Craft keyboard with smart dial for creatives

The built in control works with Adobe Suite and more

Logitech has unveiled a very interesting flagship wireless keyboard, which could come in handy to those who work in the content creation industry. The Craft has a "creative input dial" located in the top left corner of the keyboard. It lets you do image adjustment in apps like Adobe Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC or InDesign CC, or video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. Furthermore it's compatible with several Windows task and other apps.

The dial wheel can be turned either side or clicked and to perform different tasks that you are now doing with your mouse. For example it can be used to race through Excel spreadsheets or to navigate through playlists in Spotify. The dial can be customised using Logitech's software, allowing you to assign the commands you want it to use. In addition, Logitech will also release an SDK "soon" so software developers can implement their own ideas.

According to Logitech, the keyboard is designed for comfort, efficiency and precision. With Bluetooth LE wireless, you can switch between up to three devices on Windows or Mac. In addition, it also features illumination, which can always come in handy and makes the product look good. Logitech's software is also compatible with all their MX series products, including its MX Master and the new MX Sound PC Bluetooth speaker.

According to PC World, the battery inside has 1'500 mAh capacity and it’s rechargeable via a USB Type-C port. The battery life is set to 3 months with the backlight off and for one week with the lights on.

It looks like Logitech really has a new high-end wireless keyboard it’s portfolio that addresses another market than just the “gaming” world. The Craft keyboard is supposed to hit the US in October 2017 for $200 US and in the UK it will be available from September £179.00.
