Logitech Releases MX Keypad for One‑Touch AI and Coding Controls

The $99 compact nine‑key device pairs full‑color LCD buttons with a marketplace and SDK to let developers map prompts, macros and agent controls to physical keys.

Overview

  • Logitech released the MX Keypad on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, as a $99.99 USB‑C accessory with nine programmable full‑color LCD keys and immediate availability in Graphite and Pale Grey.
  • Users can assign shortcuts, saved prompts, scripts and macros through the Logi Options+ app and switch among up to 15 pages of key layouts using app‑aware profiles.
  • Logitech launched the product with built‑in GitHub Copilot integration for VS Code and a three‑month Copilot Pro+ offer, and community plugins for tools such as Claude Code and OpenAI Codex are already listed in the Logi Marketplace.
  • Developers can extend and share integrations using the Logi Actions SDK, which supports C# and Node.js, making the keypad a platform for team and community workflows rather than a fixed tool.
  • The device targets developers who want less context switching by putting AI workflows on hardware, requires macOS 13 or later or Windows 10 or later, weighs 96 grams, and uses certified post‑consumer recycled plastic in its housing.
