Logitech has rolled out Productivity Plugins for its MX accessory line, enabling control of Microsoft Office applications through the MX Creative Console and other compatible devices. The expansion broadens the console's capabilities beyond creative software.

Logitech's MX Creative Console, launched in September 2024, gains new functionality through dedicated Office plugins. The console—a customizable control surface similar to Elgato's Stream Deck—now integrates with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Microsoft productivity tools. The announcement expands Logitech's plugin ecosystem, which previously focused on creative applications like Final Cut Pro, Adobe Lightroom, and Figma. The MX line includes the Creative Console, MX Master 3S mouse, MX Keys keyboard, and other input devices. Users can now customize buttons and controls on their MX accessories to execute Office commands, potentially streamlining workflows for professionals using Microsoft's suite. Logitech continues building out the MX ecosystem with app-specific integrations to compete in the productivity hardware market.
