Digital creativity can create stunning results, but as any creator knows, the process of getting to the end product can be a difficult task.
We’re not talking about idea generation, inspiration, and the endless tweaking of your work to get it just right. That’s an entire issue in itself. We mean the actual process of selecting tools, bouncing between brushes, and the endless retouching. It’s a bit tedious, especially if you find yourself using the same tools over and over.
That’s why more and more professional creators are using controllers instead. If you’ve come across creative controllers before, think of a gaming controller that’s been altered to match a creative person’s needs instead of a gamer’s needs.
One option is TourBox. Today, MakeUseOf can offer its readers an 11 percent discount, meaning you’ll only need to pay $150 rather than $170.

What Is the TourBox Controller?
TourBox claims its creative controller is like “an extension of your hand.”
The design revolves around the knob, the wheel, and the scroller (although there are also multiple mappable buttons as well). All the moveable buttons have been calibrated for speed, accuracy, and acceleration.
As such, the TourBox makes it extremely easy to control the size, flow, transparency, and hardness of the brush, set up the buttons so you can access your most-used controls, and draw, edit, and retouch images as you go.
Of course, one of the most important features for any creative controller is app compatibility. TourBox does not disappoint; it can work with popular creative apps such as Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, and Capture One. It also works with drawing apps like Clip Studio Paint, Comic Studio, and SAI, and video and audio editing apps like Final Cut Pro, Premiere, After Effects, DaVinci, Audition, and C4D.
The TourBox controller is compatible with both Windows and macOS, but it does natively work with Linux. It is made out of ABS and plastic.
