Tool sounds amazing but its a $250 glorified macro box. It simply isn't worth that much

friendly reminder to not use honey

[@thegudstuff2378]

Congrats on the sponsor!

[@beardyjesus4591]

The issue still stands, I literally can't understand how a controller can cost up to 300$, that is literally more than Nintendo switch or 5 Dualshocks

[@S1NNZ]

tbh i see it kind of as a luxury item? it’s not needed, but wanted for its convenience and whatnot (if that makes sense).

[@Hkgsmggzmvmb]

well i think something like that is more for professional level artists, like popular commissioners or artists that work for companies and stuff like that

[@SakuraChai]

Honestly, I agree with others here that it is a luxury item, HOWEVER if you want something similar? You can get an 8BitDo controller or even a joycon to do this exact same thing for cheaper, it may not work with mobile devices though.

[@borremoonkey]

Check out the 8bitdo micro. I’ve seen quite a few digital artists use that specific controller. They have many more other controllers but that seems to be used often by digital artists. They’re mainly for games but they have a switch on them to go to “keyboard mode” which is how artists use it. It’s about $25

[@redcapmilk]

Speaking from an engineering background, manufacturing and sourcing custom parts can get pricey. Especially for a smaller company compared to Nintendo with bucko bucks behind them that can mass produce controllers at a “cheaper” price.

I do love how you always trick me into watching a full length ad for something I don't really need.

[@Inhaledcorn]

Me: Hm, considering it's meant to be used with a single hand, I wonder if it's meant to be used by the- Pikat: There's no Left-handed option Me: I KNEW IT!

[@hardwearjunkie]

As a point for them, the Tour Box can be remapped so those buttons in the lower right can duplicate the function of the nob in the lower left. Not completely left in the cold...

[@uraveragejoe3883]

Ive used one for a while now, not left handed but I'll tell you this. There not as ergonomic as they claim to be, a bit to high so i ended devloping mild carpel tunnel.

[@LMN3_Works]

I mean I've seen some japanese artists who use it left handed and it still works.

[@Bloomkyaaa]

*PIKAT IS LEFT-HANDED, THAT'S THE REAL SECRET TO DRAWING SUPER GOOD!*

[@dfraylee1603]

am also left handed, definitely not the secret. lmao

[@hmissimawu]

😂​@@dfraylee1603

[@OnigiriByte]

alts worth considering --- general: - razer tartarus - joycon for the nerds: - split ergo keyboard with a knob or scroll wheel encoder that has VIAL support (guess what i've used for the last 2yrs) - small VIAL/QMK macropad.

[@gorequillnachovidal]

damn that is a ridiculous ass price

[@ArcVerity]

Guys don't pay a ridiculous price and fall for this paid promotion. Just get a one hand shortcut keyboard or whatever equivalent the brand of drawing tablet you use sells if possible. Pretty much the same functionality for way less cost. You mention that a pro of it is how all of the buttons are different so you don't have to look at it when using it, but anyone who actually knows how to use a keyboard, knows that your hand and fingers use a default position (indicated by a small bump on a key) so that your hands easily learn the muscle memory for the key's positions so you don't have to look at it and can use it efficiently.

[@zepos]

Exactly this is just like an overpriced controller wtf

[@theanimaster]

The marketing is that the shape somehow really improves the tactile, no-need-to-look functions of the thing. Whether that is true is the big question. I’m coming here from watching another artist who likes the thing, but in the end he says that if you already have something similar - that you get familiar with what you have and that you shouldn’t short yourself by thinking you’re not drawing fine just because you didn’t buy an overhyped product.

[@airgeadlamh]

i just made a webpage that run keyboard shortcuts on my pc that i can acess from my phone, like a poor-man's stream deck, works pretty good

[@ariannanightingale4054]

I'm a bit of a computer nerd, so my immediate thought was about alternative controllers, "sub-keyboards" (like A4Tech X7-G100 or Darmoshark K3 Pro) and a mouse with a lot of additional buttons (Razer Naga as an example)

[@zepos]

@@ArcVerity just to add on to the 2 above me there's a software called "sim hub" originally meant for sim racing but can also turn your phone or ipad into a custom layout mini keyboard as well. For example you want to have a very specific button layout each activating different brushes and stuff you make it exactly how you like it.

[@Bonirin]

I've known about this device for at least several years, and I see its advertisements all around recently, AND, For productivity outside of drawing, If you have a mouse with 5 extra side buttons + a tilting wheel, you don't need any extra control surfaces as you can bind everything onto it. As a video editor/graphic designer, with just this mouse I can solve every problem any control surface company is trying to help me solve This video is an interesting one though

[@Hambs23]

Way ahead of ya. My first 3D model was done using my crappy notebook's mousepad and a Xbox360 controller remapped through Joy-to-Key.

[@kien9350]

4:16 I use it upside down even tho I'm not a leftist. This way I can use my index fingers for the D-pad to change Tools, Thumb for Wheel to Pan Zoom And Rotate. Middle and ring finger for Tall/short button as modifier. I like to assign each finger to each button. The only con of this is the knob in the middle. It's easy to accidentally turn it when select tool with your index. Tourbox design is base on feel of each button so you don't have to look down to know where the button are. But if you want minimal movement for shortcut. Try the Azeron Cyborg 2. There are so many key that you can click with a flick of finger. Also it has on board memory. These 2 device are the best shortcut pad in the market.

[@uhoh7545]

Quick shoutout to all my leftists out there!

[@Infanomaly]

I also like to finger buttons, leftist

[@EZWIN1103-hs4mz]

I preoredered it back in October and it's finally on its way!!! so excited!

[@sage_kizu]

yeah remembering keyboard hot keys makes the process of creating annoying and slow but when you have every shortcut on one box makes the art like breathing which i think is great i would but i don't like ordering online

[@night2501]

I use the tabmate, but this could be a good alternative to use on blender and other programs too

[@YaBoiDingus]

Finally! Gadgets and gizmos for us left handed folks!

[@jaredwilliams1031]

Thank you for a review with pros and cons! Drawing fast isn't a priority ATM, and I haven't leapt to digital yet, but I will keep this in mind.

[@aeleequis]

i got this video as an ad on my feed. I'm not mad, on the contrary, congratulations! it's awesome that you get promotions and support from companies.

[@iuyhfber2adwa]

It was actually the opposite for me, I tried using a tour box but I was just so used to the keyboard shortcuts, you can set your own shortcuts on clip studio so I used wasd for stuff like pen/eraser, lasso, airbrush, paintbucket (you can set pen/eraser on the same key so when you tap it once it’ll swap to a pen and when you tap it again it’ll be an eraser) the keyboard has so many keys so I even assigned transform features like contrast/brightness, tone curves, and add new layers all to my number keys. I even have polygonal lasso and liquify tool on X and C as if they were abilities in game. I’m sure Tour box could probably do the same but there’s def not enough buttons on it so you’d have to constantly swap profiles which at that point I’d just stick with a keyboard. It’s a good tool for normal users tho.

[@BakeNeko-San]

I WAS SEARCHING FOR THIS FOR WEEKS AND I DIDN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE THX 😭😭

[@Johnny_Shields]

I saw the ad for this and thought no way I can use that. I also really thought that was left handed because thumb button on the side obviously.

[@protox07]

Have a happy holidays pikat

[@MrTheholycole]

Pikat is one of the few youtubers that i actually like their sponsorships. keep up the good work

[@taiske_abara]

I have a tourbox elite plus and the iPad version of the tourbox app is really raw at the moment, I don’t use CSP but in procreate there is no way to change the the opacity of the brush, and I use a lot affinity photo and some of the tools are use the most can’t be mapped into the tourbox, hopefully they start rolling updates to solve all this problems

[@johnperry8127]

Been seeing their ads lately and on the fence about getting one, this video finally convinced me!

[@IcyeFaethyvve]

lets go, staying in the zone sounds like a huge upside

[@FukuritaMariko]

Is there a problem with that i’m also left handed 🤣

[@cwill-san4003]

Why do people act like left handed people don't exist🤣

[@BeaverDaBeaver]

A left handed version would require twice the manufacturing costs for potential 10% profit, just relearn to draw with your other hand!

2:35 did someone notice to help me on the brush?

[@ashing838]

Casual Yakuza clip. And no one was surprised.

[@dennki123]

Got the exact same setup lol, it must be great to use one to draw anywhere i want now, i am sold

[@JAMRAON]

Great video! love my tourbox

[@violetvalentine999]

oooh, this looks nice. i use a cintiq & i have a handful of hotkeys i can't be without; this is a nice analog device for people used to drawing digitally with hotkeys who struggle to draw on a device with none to speak of i don't have a portable digital device to draw on, so this product isn't for me. but i can totally see where it'd be a lifesaver for people who use both, or are switching to a unit without keys.

[@ChanelAthena]

I've debated on getting one for a long time but I spoke to a friend that raves about his, and the fact that this one has Procreate functionality (which I rarely use because the gesture controls make me want to rip my hands off)...it'll be delivered to me tomorrow LOL.

[@ShmilyJimmy]

🤔Nice tips for lefty! Never thought about that before!

[@Zhaobowen]

I have a TourBox pro, and I use it mainly with Krita, and it's like night and day. Seriously, rotating the canvas with the little spinny has completely changed my workflow.

[@AlexanderAnderson6783]

Omg i used to draw by hand, and i was a garbage digital drawer. Mainly A: bc i drew on pencil and paper more often and B: bc i never had any experience. This was so inspiring!!!!

[@MrSongib]

Putting another bullshit on my desk after my giant tablet + keyboard + mouse at the same time. nope ty

[@HiHi-oc3gh]

This basically replaces all those except for the tablet. I’m not advocating for this product but if you don’t decide to buy it because of this reason I thought I should let u know

[@drakou_cd]

I (about some weeks ago) bought the deco pro v2 and i gotta say, a controller like that its absolutely gamechanging, 100% recomendation for yall!!!

[@Retro2ModernGaming]

Does the Tourbox also work with Computers too instead of needing an Android tablet or IPad?

[@hoshikunai]

Yes, and you don't even need the elite plus for that. You can just get a Tourbox Neo which is ~$140 less, but is wired and has no haptic engine.

[@Retro2ModernGaming]

@@hoshikunai Thanks. I'll consider either the Neo or the Elite Plus later.

[@johnperry8127]

Yeah i got the Elite and i don't use iPad so for me it's all good atm, unless they release other updates in the future that really make it different. I use it on PC every day for editing and drawing occasionally, it's a def a good product i will say

[@milesprower2893]

it's look like but the TourBox is terrible with community service . Older tourbox generation have some tech issues but they refuse to fixed it . Instead they make a new model and abandoned older products , Tourbox company too greedy

[@JOKRJOKES]

I have the elite version of tourbox and my workflow has been reduced so much because of the tourbox. I draw on the huion kamvas 22 plus and instead of my right hand reaching for tools and settings like gaussian blur i can press down my main dial to blur its such a luxury

[@Dark_Peace]

What's the difference between the different tourbox tiers ? I'm a bit lost.

[@tracep.9900]

For gamers who might have a gaming keypad like a Razer Tartarus V2 or something similar, the dedicated macros can be used to something similar. however, the whole "samey keys" can get in the way. Though once you use it enough you get the feel of it. it's like the keyboard where you know where each letter is without looking. I've been using my old version for drawing, and it's SOOOOOOO nice, especially since my 22in huion doesn't have dedicated buttons.

[@JLYoder]

Yep, that left handed problem. I think turning it upside down is goofy, but I'll have to try out that sideways position. I love my elite, but finding what keys to bind where got pretty daunting. I don't even think I have found a purpose for all the keys yet.

[@accidentallyperfect9810]

Fully support and appreciate ya gettin the sponsor for folks who are left handed and or on a budget, I use a Megalodon triple knob macro pad has 2 knobs + keys and layers,pretty easy to set up and the wireless option I think you can get for like 60 or 80? very useful IMO friendly for lefties, and if you ever needed to flip it you easily could for right handed folks too.

[@Tigerbro6]

as a lefty, this sounds really cool, the way i found to be faster is dual wield a mouse with my tablet, so i operate the program with the mouse and draw directly on my intuos 3

[@TheXtremeBoltGuy]

That thing looks like something the fighting game community might use lmfao I love it

[@Siehste-VideogameEssays]

Just as a fair warning: there's definitely a learning curve and you gotta force yourself to go through it. Didn't click with me at first, tried it after a while again and now its a lovely tool for editing!

[@dizzyhungry]

It's so cursed seeing a Tourbox layed vertically like that

[@hardwearjunkie]

Left handed! LEFT HANDED! My world shooketh thus forever more!

[@soberika]

nobody cares bout us leftis

[@krumpits]

I looked into the tour box when the elite was first coming out. And while it looks cool, i just couldn’t justify spending over 200 bucks on what is essentially just a fancy controller. Especially not when the current keypad i use for my ipad was under 30 bucks and travels really well cause of how much smaller it is.

[@baguetteslippers1930]

I JUST NOTICED YOURE LEFT HANDED OMG ANOTHER LEFTY

[@rehantdyr]

I feel like there arent enough buttons though, am i trippin?

[@rarza87]

I paid for my TourBox Elite Plus 2024/11/17...they still didn't send it xD Whe you was buying?

[@PillowheadCreations]

For people trying to decide which one to get. I got the lite version lite and gotta say I wish I got the elite or neo cuz more buttons and Bluetooth so I can use it for iPad and computer but with the lite I only use it for pc and its still good. I’m also left handed and with I thought of flipping sideways lol that tip helped me out.

[@ashkedash2492]

Hi, I have seen you for a while, I want to ask a question, if I copy a lot of drawings, I mean A LOT, it is gonna help me to progress more to became an artist. Hope you see this😝

[@valantus_]

as long as you learn HOW and why the artist you copy makes those key decisions in a drawing (i.e, why they pose the character a certain way or why the lighting is aimed at the character that way) you're gonna improve a lot. It's all about understanding the art pieces.

[@FrozenIgnition97]

[@takemetoyonk]

"Elite Plus" jesus christ guys 1:00 the alt+tab kind of holding function like in SAI or Clip Studio is just one example of a customizable shortcut. I'm gonna stop wasting my energy on arguing an infomerical, since you did a lot of work to make this sponsorship money. lol Happy holidays and thanks for being an artist.

[@chapelknight951]

I've been considering something like this for Procreate because it feels a lot more intuitive than gesture controls. Also, there's no native way to quickly flip the canvas horizontally in Procreate, despite many people flipping their digital art for quick proportion checks.

[@Polk2D]

Has anyone already tested if you can use the tourbox elite with the iPad app? The truth is I don't want to invest in buying the tourbox elite plus just for that function

I like how you go from a video in where you say "don't draw fast". Then say "this sponsored product that I am paid to advertise actually helps me work fast!". Truly one of the videos of all time.

[@atebexe4486]

there's a difference when you draw faster because you are rushing and when you are spending less time because you can use your tools quicker and more comfortably

[@erikasakura7721]

You're literally conflating drawing sloppy but fast, and drawing with more conveniences. She's just saying the tour box is one less hassle to deal with

[@Otis_.]

It’s a sponsored video, you’re trusting word of mouth of someone who makes money off an affiliate link. A used cars salesman talks out their ass to sell you something you don’t need. Yet they have no actual accountability for the product itself. There is sadly no such thing as drawing with more connivence. Besides, the only way to draw faster is overtime is through mastering the medium. It’s why artists like Jim Lee work very fast within short amounts of time. Not because they use a tech product with a sponsored affiliate link. But because they got good at the fundamentals. Promoting this is misleading to a beginner audience.

[@erikasakura7721]

@@Otis_. I'm not saying a slow artist will suddenly draw fast with it, (and neither is she) I'm just saying it's convenient, convenience is useful. Second, they're a youtube creator making a living off of youtube content, yeah they'll have sponsors. You realize that pretty much any kind of job that is very visible to the public does those right? It's a normal aspect of life, chill for two seconds.

[@Otis_.]

@@erikasakura7721 You invalidated yourself by saying that “an artist will not suddenly draw fast with it”. So it being a useful product is a wash. Sponsorships are advertisements, it’s their choice whether or not to have integrity. They chose not to and you don’t need to speak on their behalf. I implore you do research on things like Betterhelp FTC for example. It’ll help you understand that sponsorships are not inherently good for KZbin.

[@MichaelCarson1]

Seems to be a lot of haters in the comments... Been using one for over 2 years now in everything from video editing to illustration. Hands down one of the best tools I have purchased. Time is money and the amount of time spent with having intuitive controls is priceless to me.
