Full transcript (original language)
Section titled “Full transcript (original language)”00:00 The Logitech MX Keypad is a developer console and tactile AI control center. And it has deep integration with the GitHub Copilot app. Let’s take a look. You can set up the GitHub Copilot app integration by installing the GitHub Copilot plugin from Logi Marketplace or Logi Options Plus. Once installed, you can manage your chats, projects, pin chats, and even customizations right from the keypad. Clicking the new chat button starts a new chat in the GitHub Copilot app.
00:31 You can also start voice control with a single press for hands-free prompting. Toggle the microphone on and off as needed. You can see at a glance the model, reasoning level, and context window. The projects view on the keypad mirrors your GitHub Copilot app setup exactly. Any projects you have loaded in the app will appear in this view. Drilling in shows you all sessions. Within a session, you can see the model, the context window, start a voice chat, check the reasoning level. You can even
01:03 see how many AI credits have been used on this session. The keypad reflects project status in real-time. So, starting a session will be reflected on the keypad immediately. And you can see which sessions are running, which have finished, which have questions, et cetera. You can also easily jump into pin chats as well as any regular chats that you have going on with Copilot. The customize button lets you easily enable or disable MCP servers right from the keypad. And the MX Keypad is app-aware. So, it detects which app you’re in and switches
01:37 its keys to match. For instance, if we jump over to Visual Studio Code, then we get a Visual Studio customized MX Keypad layout right here. And the keypad is fully customizable. So, in Logi Options Plus, you can drag and drop actions onto other keys, reorder things, even build macros for complex multi-step workflows. Or better yet, use the Logi Actions SDK and have GitHub Copilot build a custom plugin just for you. The MX Keypad is available now and every keypad includes three free months of
