Logitech MX Keypad Launches at $99.99 With Nine LCD Keys and Free Copilot Pro+
Logitech launched the MX Keypad on 8 September at $99.99, a nine-key desktop console whose keys are individually addressable colour LCDs rather than printed caps. It is aimed at people who spend their day inside a code editor and an AI assistant, and each unit ships with three free months of GitHub Copilot Pro+.
The pitch is straightforward. Instead of memorising a shortcut, or retyping the same prompt into an assistant for the tenth time that morning, you put it on a labelled button. The nine keys sit under two page buttons, and those pages stack up to 15 deep, so the practical ceiling is 135 assignable actions on a device that occupies roughly the footprint of a coaster.
Price and where you can buy it
Logitech is charging $99.99 in the United States and €99.99 in Europe. It went on sale on launch day through Logitech.com in what the company describes only as select markets, so availability outside the US and Europe is not something Logitech has committed to yet. Two finishes are offered, Graphite and Pale Grey. Logitech says the Graphite unit is built from 64 percent post-consumer recycled plastic and the Pale Grey from 49 percent.
That price positions it as the cheaper half of an existing product. The MX Creative Console, which pairs the same nine-key pad with a separate dial controller, lists at $199.99. The MX Keypad is that keypad on its own, at half the money, with the dialpad removed.
What it actually plugs into
Configuration runs through Logi Options+, Logitech's free desktop app for Windows and macOS. Profiles are app-aware, meaning the layout redraws itself when you move from one window to another: one set of keys in VS Code, a different set the moment Slack takes focus.
Logitech built the launch integrations with GitHub, and the supported list at release covers a narrower slice of software than most keypads bother with:
- GitHub Copilot inside VS Code, the headline integration
- IntelliJ IDEA for JVM work
- Claude Code, via a community plugin
- OpenAI Codex, also as a plugin
- General desktop apps including Figma, Zoom, Slack and Adobe Creative Cloud
There is also a Logi Actions SDK, so the plugin list is meant to grow through third parties rather than through Logitech shipping one integration at a time. Anything you can trigger with a script or a macro can go on a key, which covers a lot of ground the official plugin list does not.
The Copilot offer, and one detail worth checking
Every MX Keypad includes three months of GitHub Copilot, redeemed inside Logi Options+ after you pair the device. Logitech's announcement specifies Copilot Pro+, the higher of GitHub's two individual paid tiers, and says the offer is open to existing subscribers as well as new ones. The retail product page for the keypad describes the same bundle more loosely as Copilot Pro. If the tier matters to you, redeem it through Options+ and confirm what lands on your GitHub account before assuming either figure.
Who this is and is not for
Options+ is Windows and macOS only, so Linux users are outside the supported configuration, and there is no iPadOS story here. The device connects by USB-C and draws power from the host, which means no charging routine but also no wireless option.
If you already own the MX Creative Console, this changes nothing for you; it is the same key hardware without the dial. The case for the MX Keypad is narrower and clearer than that: you want labelled, glanceable buttons for prompts and commands, you do not need a rotary control, and $100 is what that convenience is worth to you. If your shortcuts already live in muscle memory, it is a hundred dollars for a problem you do not have.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Logitech MX Keypad cost?
The Logitech MX Keypad costs $99.99 in the United States and EUR 99.99 in Europe. It went on sale on 8 September 2026 through Logitech.com in select markets. That is half the $199.99 list price of the MX Creative Console, which adds a separate dial controller to the same nine-key pad.
What is the difference between the MX Keypad and the MX Creative Console?
The MX Creative Console is the nine-key LCD pad plus a separate dialpad, and lists at $199.99. The MX Keypad is that same keypad sold on its own at $99.99, with no dial. If you do not need a rotary control for scrubbing or adjusting values, the keypad covers the same shortcut and macro functions.
Does the Logitech MX Keypad work on Linux?
No. The keypad is configured through Logi Options+, which Logitech supports on Windows 10 or newer and macOS 13 or newer only. There is no official Linux build of Options+, so Linux users are outside the supported configuration and cannot assign keys through Logitech's software.
How many shortcuts can you put on the MX Keypad?
Nine at a time, but two page buttons let you cycle through up to 15 pages of assignments. That works out to a maximum of 135 actions on the device. Profiles are also app-aware, so the layout can change automatically depending on which application currently has focus.
How do you claim the free GitHub Copilot months with the MX Keypad?
The three-month offer is redeemed inside the Logi Options+ app after you connect the keypad, and Logitech says existing GitHub subscribers can claim it as well as new ones. Logitech's announcement names the Copilot Pro+ tier while its retail listing says Copilot Pro, so check what actually applies to your GitHub account after redeeming.
