Inspiration

My inspiration came from a place of daily frustration. Developers often find themselves trapped in a "loop of friction." They would write code in VS Code, switch to Notepad to clean up notes, open Explorer to find assets, and finally move to LinkedIn to share their progress.

The physical act of constant scrolling and clicking through nested menus to perform these repetitive "handshakes" between apps was draining creative energy. I realized that while software was powerful, hardware was passive. I wanted to turn the Logitech MX Creative Console into an active bridge that anticipates my next move.

What it does

The core objective of this project is to eliminate the "manual labor" of context switching. Instead of the user adapting to the hardware, the hardware adapts to the user's intent.

How we built it

To build using a modular approach: Workflow Mapping: I charted my most frequent cross-app movements (e.g., VS Code through to LinkedIn). SDK Integration: Using the Actions SDK to develop a plugin. Smart Action Chaining: leverage the logic of Logitech Smart Actions.

Challenges we ran into

-Moderate coder in C#, the SDK setup felt intimidating at first.
-Smart Actions appear great for chaining but might be limited to single-app focus or basic sequences.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

To build using the Logitech SDK

What we learned

Diving into the Logi Actions SDK docs and Logi Options+ helped me see the hardware's potential beyond creative tools.
