Logitech’s MX Keypad puts 135 shortcuts on AI coding agents

Nine keys, fifteen pages of them. That’s 135 customizable commands total on the MX Keypad, each one assignable to a prompt, a refactor macro, or a command that fires across several apps at once. Logitech built it to sit next to a keyboard as a dedicated control surface for people running AI coding agents, not as a replacement for typing but as a shortcut layer for everything that used to mean switching windows or retyping the same instruction into a terminal.

Native support covers GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, VS Code, and IntelliJ IDEA out of the box. The more interesting part happened after launch, though: the community had already built plugins for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex specifically, adding agent status tracking and terminal command control directly on the keys. Any single key can target one app or several at once, which matters if a workflow spans an editor, a terminal, and an agent running somewhere in the background all at the same time.

For anyone who wants to build their own integration, Logitech shipped the Logi Actions SDK alongside the hardware, supporting both C# and Node.js. Logitech is pitching the documentation itself as written for AI to read, meaning a coding agent can reportedly generate a working plugin from the docs rather than a developer writing one by hand line by line. Finished plugins distribute through the Logi Marketplace, which Logitech says already reaches more than 100 million compatible devices, a distribution channel most keyboard accessories never get close to.

The device ships today, September 8, in select markets at $99.99 in Graphite or Pale Grey, both built with a majority-recycled plastic shell. Every unit includes three free months of GitHub Copilot Pro+, redeemable through Logi Options+ by new and existing subscribers alike, so the bundle isn’t gated behind being a first-time Copilot user the way these promotions usually are. Dedicated hardware for AI coding agents is still a new enough category that Logitech is essentially betting the workflow sticks around long enough to justify a $99 accessory built entirely around it, rather than fading the way plenty of niche developer peripherals have before.
