TourBox NEO - Customizable Editing Controller, Photo Color Grading Illustration Speed Editor, Intuitive Control Boost Productivity, Programmable Keyboard for Adobe CSP and More, Works with Mac/PC

The tourbox is a solid device that helps me save time during video editing in Adobe Premier Pro. Once you get the muscle memory down basic functions like zooming in and out of the time line etc is efficient and effortless. I’m very satisfied with the overall quality of the device, the buttons and wheels functions as you would expect and after thousands of clicks and spins it still operates flawlessly. The software is easy to use and you can edit how you want each button to function or you can just use the pre made button configurations for several of the popular editing programs out there. Yes it came with a pre made setup for Adobe Premier Pro. The soft ware will also place a little widget (clickable area) that emulates the 4 of the buttons on the device. Neat. I love this device, I usually release 5 videos per week on YouTube each of whic are typically 10 to 15 minutes. That’s tons of scrolling, trimming etc I can’t imagine editing without this device. I would purchase another without hesitation if I needed to. The tourbox doesn’t have all the fancy buttons and appearance of some of its competitors devices, I can confirm it won’t make you a cup of coffee, but It will make your work flow more efficient and is a joy to use because it works! I love it!

I absolutely love the TourBox NEO. It has completely transformed the way I edit, especially in DaVinci Resolve. Once you get it set up with your favorite shortcuts, everything becomes faster, smoother, and way more intuitive than constantly reaching for a keyboard. The build quality is excellent — it feels very solid and well made, not cheap or plasticky at all. The knobs, buttons, and dial all have a great tactile feel and are super responsive. It’s clearly designed for long-term professional use. What I appreciate most is how customizable it is. You can map controls exactly how you like for color grading, timeline scrubbing, zooming, and fine adjustments. Color work in DaVinci Resolve feels especially natural with the dials and scroll wheel. There’s a small learning curve at first, but once it clicks, you won’t want to edit without it. If you do photo editing, illustration, or video work, this controller is absolutely worth it. Solid hardware, great software support, and a huge productivity boost. Highly recommend!

This is a great product for photo editing. I was looking for loopdeck products with shortcuts i could use with photoshop, On1, Lightrooom for editing images. I ran accross this product an the reviews were good. I have to admit I was a bit sceptic and thought is would be another cheap product. But after researching all my options, this seemed to beed a really good option. This product is made of good quality parts and has a confident feel to its operation. it is very customizable with many options for various SW programs. It works well with the complement of a Wacom tablet. There is a slight learning curve to train your hands to work with these buttons. But the positive feel of the buttons will ensure a short journey for memorizing locations. The unit has enough weight to keep it stable in its position with rubber feet. The Jog wheels are nice and smooth with feedback notches and rubberized surface for a pleasing feel to your hands. Only one complaint that I have is that it is a little thick. If it was a little flatter, It would not be so difficult on your hand after hours of use. Over All... I think this is a great product over many more expensive and more complicated products out there.

first, amazon wanted 3 'features' value for money, I hate how much this costs for what it is, its stupidly expensive, but its realisticly the only thing like it unless you want to roll dice on 30$ china things. ease of use, it took restarting and installing the software upwars 30 times each in total to get it to work, and then it locked the pc up till unplugged, another 30 restarts and installs to get it working and now its fine, this was a nightmare to get working. light weight, light weight is not a feature of this product, it's nice and heavy so where you put it down it stays while using the dial and knob. now, this sees more use outside of art programs than inside, its FAR nicer to use this than my mouse for scrolling websites, zooming in and out, among other commands. the software is very good, it recognizes that you will likely screw up on the dials which way you want things to go, so its a 1 button flip. half a turn of the dial or knob is I believe 16 button presses the bad, the software, when it works its good, had a habit of not seeing the device, despite the computer seeing it. also, you have full mapping for the wheel and for the knob, but there are no modifiers for the dial, which I honestly find weird how that was overlooked. I also wonder why not every key can be modified, take for instance the knob, turning it left and right is one set, then you have 4 more sets with the wide buttons, but pressing the dial only has one hotkey and no modifiers effect it. or the two circle buttons have the buttons below it to modify it, but the one above the knob or on the side don't. the tour button, the one on the side of the knob, that looks like it could easily be modified, is not modifiable. these limits don't bother me too much, as I can compartmentalize what im doing/using the tourbox for into hotkey sets, but I would love to see instead of what I assume being the developers/makers best idea for how the thing will be used and only making hotkeys for that, let me do whatever stupid hotkey set I want. I use this with both right and left hand I could more easily with my right hand use my pinky and hit those circle buttons with the side and top modifier than I can the ones to the right of the dpad. Overall, this is a product that once you use it, there is no going back, and there is for the most part no alternative for. possibly with a touch screen you would have a diminished use for this, but as far as im aware thats only on screens that cost in the neighborhood of 2000$ at the moment.

Excelent

I use it to speed up editing in Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, Lightroom and Logic Pro. To help use my drawing with Drawing programs. You can program it how you like to, it comes with some premade shortcuts. But you can also download some that people have made.

Please accept my apologies in advance for this long review. I have much to say, and I hope it will help you avoid some of my false starts. I’m a big fan of using hardware interfaces (control surfaces) with creative apps like Photoshop and Premier Pro. Making adjustments while focusing on the screen makes editing more enjoyable and much faster. I’ve used several different devices before this Tourbox. In each case, the time savings justified buying the device after a few hours of use. I eventually re-bought a Tourbox ("re-bought" is a mystery that will be solved if you read to the end) after Logitech abruptly announced ending support for their products. Without the announcement, I probably would have continued to use the Loupedeck, but now I’m grateful for the motivation to change! The Tourbox is, by far, the best control surface I’ve used. The controls are less “fiddley” than my Loupedeck Live or, for that matter any of the devices I’ve used. It’s also more compact than either my old Loupedeck+ or even older Behringer X-Touch Mini Universal USB Controller . It can sit comfortably next to my keyboard rather than taking up half my desk. Installation was truly plug-and-play. With the other devices I’ve used, I had to install plug-ins and connectors with many of the apps I was using. With the Tourbox, either they weren’t needed, or it was done for me. All I know is that I could use it with apps like Lightroom, Photoshop, and Adobe Premier Pro immediately after plugging it in. The Tourbox device is both compact, about 4” x 4-1/4” x 1-1/2” and massive, around 3/4 lbs. It sits firmly on its four silicon fee. That is in sharp contrast to my Loupedeck Live , which would slide around almost on its own. An added benefit is that the button/knob placement allows me to use it one-handed, without taking my eyes off the screen. It comes preconfigured with presets for the apps I frequently use. And, I can change any of the controls easily if I choose. For example, I’ve set the same knob to adjust volume and mute with a press across all apps. I’ve also assigned another knob to allow me to jog through audio/video playback or pause/resume with a press, regardless of what app is currently playing the media. By way of history, I’ve been using control surfaces for media content creation for about 15 years. I started “on the cheap” trying to repurpose multi-button mice by programming keyboard shortcuts myself. I soon realized that for media manipulation, some form of variable control, things like knobs or slicers, was needed. Still trying to save money, I bought a Behringer X-Touch Mini Universal USB Controller . It wasn’t bad, and profiles were already developed for some popular applications. My next “move” was to get something purpose-built. So, in 2019 I bought two devices, a Loupedeck+ and, wait for it…, a Tourbox Neo. I was drawn in by the vast swath of knobs and switches provided by the Loupdeck, so I kept it and returned the Tourbox. The Loupdeck+ worked well for a few years, right up until it didn’t. The software started to fail. Also, what started as a set of impressive, dedicated controls became annoying as applications evolved. Next came the Loupedeck Live . I figured that the digital display would allow the device to keep pace with application changes. However, the downsides were a lack of differentiation between controls; I couldn’t operate the thing by touch, and the tiny knobs were a bit too fiddly. I would like to think that I’ve benefited (matured?) from my years of experience. Now I see the (relatively) few buttons/knobs on the Tourbox as a benefit. Each has a unique shape, and I can run everything without taking my eyes off the screen. They also provide a mechanism where the controls, individually or in combination, can perform hundreds of functions. Finally, there is a well-thought-out on-screen display of current control settings if I need a reference. Over time, that need disappears, and you can remove the display anytime.

I've used a few speed editors before. This one was an impulse purchase that I let sit for a couple years. One day I decided to bust it out and set it up. I told myself I'd spend a day using it and if I hated it, I'd put it on Ebay. I'm glad I did. By the end of the day I'd gotten used to using it. I'm not exageratting when I say if you spend a couple hours with it, it will improve your editing speed. I used this with Camtasia and Premeire, and it works great. For me the only reason I use these things is speed, and this product makes me edit faster. Period. Once you get the muscle memory down it's a huge boost. It's also very easy to program and set up, which is an advantage over similar products that are complicated and clunky. Get it. Spend a few hours with it, and enjoy the benefits.
