Review of the TourBox.
I started with the TourBox in mid 2024. I’ve spent a full year and a half across two separate products form the TourBox line, the NEO, and the Elite Plus. Before then I was more experienced with the keybindings on my XP-Pen tablet, keyboard, and iPad gestures in procreate.
The product itself is not the first of its kind, but it certainly is unique. I’ve seen other creatives using their Logitech QuickKey remotes, Corne Keyboards, Streamer Decks, mice with quick keys on the side, trackball mice, even stuff that was homemade just to make their art process go faster. While each of these have their own attributes, budgets, and customization to help with everyone’s needs, I personally found my TourBox to be a good fit for what I’ve been asking from this series of gadgets.

What I like about the design of this brick blob is how it fits into my small hands and every finger matches up to a certain line of buttons for me to know each command and shortcut.
This is especially helpful for long drawing sessions. I don’t feel like I’m getting slowed down from having to remember any button combo or looking down at the box to realign myself.
Some downsides to the TourBox… whenever I take it places I feel it in my bag. It’s a bit heavy. The learning curve is not steep but I did find myself not using all the features that it offers like the multiple button presses, might be a skill issue on my part. The Elite Plus features for IOS to not include touch replacements for procreate like how it works for Clip Studio, because there is not a simple pan layer tool in Procreate’s program I don’t think, It was something to get used to on my end.

If you like not having to look down to remember a specific button pattern or where a button is itself, customization for every program without needing to pay for the proprietary software, Linux compatibility (not official), vast community and official brand support, playing Minecraft fishing simulator with a knob and a few funny little buttons while eating snacks in your other hand… It’s great.
