TourBox NEO - Editing Controller, Desktop Creative Multi-Control, Wired

The TourBox didn't have a pre-built profile for CapCut, but it was easy to build one customized how I like it. I probably would have changed the default settings anyway. It works great for video editing, saving many clicks, keystrokes and mouse movements. I love the precision of the wheel for moving frame by frame and how it scrolls proportionately faster as you turn it faster. I also built a profile for editing photos with Luminar Neo. It saves some time, but video editing is where it really shines. It's heavy enough and has rubber feet with decent grip, so it doesn't slide around. It feels very well built. I highly recommend the TourBox for video editing.

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!

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 edit in Final Cut Pro on my MacBook Pro M1. I found myself using the touchpad to zoom-in on the timeline which was causing a lot of strain in my wrist. Build - As others note, very solid. It has heft to it which keeps it from slipping. This is important when using the side button. The finish of the device is like a soft rubber. It feels good and it’s comfortable but this material doesn’t seem like it will clean that well. Buttons and wheels: nice solid click. The turbos is meant to be used in your left hand while you mouse with your right. There is no mode for those who mouse with their left and would use this with their right. I mouse with my left due to some RSI issues so I use the Tourbox eith the right. It’s not the biggest issue but you can tell that button placement was optimized for the other hand. I spent some time re-mapping some buttons to make it easier to use with my right hand, and so far so good. I would appreciate a side button on the lower right side (diagonally across from the left side button). Button mapping - software is easy to use and for me going right away. You click the button you want to check, you wipl see what it’s currently assigned to and then a list of commands specific to your application. I was doing a lot of masking and position changes on those masks. I used the main wheel to scrub through the timeline slowly while I used the mouse to drag the mask around to set keys. I would then use the horizontal scoop bar to zoom in and out. I also remapped some buttons for blade all clips, keystones, deleting and play. Overall I really like the product. If you are in a NLE or photoshop all day this would be a must. I’m a hobbyist and I found this valuable just to save my wrists.

I love this product! I kept getting ads for it when I was in the market to replace my old Wacom Cintiq 22 inch HD display due to the buttons onboard not working properly anymore. Instead I figured I'd give this product a shot because it was way cheaper than just replacing my entire tablet. As the title suggests, with the TourBox Neo, I was able to regain control over various functionalities that the buttons on the tablet itself seemed to fail. I couldn't recommend this product enough. I'm so happy to be able to keep my beloved Cintiq! This product is as simple as plugging it in, going to the website provided in the packaging and installing their app to easily change the functions for every button and know. Overall, the feeling and textile buttons really help you keep your eyes on your art while easily moving your fingers to the corresponding function needed. The install took as little as 5 minutes and I was able to get back to drawing in no time. Absolutely worth the money!

Use this product with Lightroom classic for few months. This is my must have for editing.

I bought a used TourBox Elite on eBay a while back, and I’ve used it ever since when I do digital art. In fact, I chose it over the Neo because I liked the idea of Bluetooth connectivity. Unfortunately, over time the Bluetooth proved to be a little spotty, so I ended up keeping it plugged in with the USB cable anyway. The odd part was that even while connected by USB, it still needed two AA batteries to function. The battery door latch was already a little worn out when I bought it. After plenty of use, it finally broke off the other day, so I decided it was time to replace it. I got the TourBox Neo today, and it solved every problem I had with the Elite. It worked immediately without me having to reinstall anything. The Neo is always connected and ready to go, no pairing issues, no random disconnects, just plug play and start working. It’s also USB-powered, so there are no batteries to worry about. I don’t have to keep spares around or wonder when they’re going to die. As long as my computer is on, so is the TourBox. As a comic artist, the TourBox has become an essential part of my workflow. I mainly use the side and middle knobs for zooming and changing brush sizes, and having those controls under my hand is much faster than reaching for keyboard shortcuts. When I’m working on a long-form project like a whole comic book, those little time savings really add up and help me stay focused on drawing as I tend to remove my keyboard and mainly use the TourBox. I also use it with Final Cut Pro, where the knobs are great for scrubbing through the timeline and speeding up video editing. If you absolutely need wireless, the Elite still has its place. But if you work at a desk like I do, I actually think the Neo is the better buy. It’s less expensive, the wired connection is more reliable, there’s no battery compartment to worry about, and it simply gets out of the way so I can focus on creating. -Nathyn Brendan Masters Night Phoenix Press.

The unit is built well with really good features, the software is a little glitchy and hard to navigate, you can’t really on costumer support, you send a message, you’ll get 1 or 2 responses PER DAY. You’ll need to disable your anti virus to install the software (which is concerning, it may have tracking malware to study your usage for their own purposes in which you don’t have control of and contributes of making your computer more sluggish). I really wish that the software development wasn’t like that because I love the concept of the unit itself.

Estaba dudoso de comprarlo ya que no hay mucha información acerca de las opciones programables para trabajar con audio, no me arrepiento en nada facilita muchísimo el workflow, tardas en acostumbrarte en las configuraciones que tú mismo programas ya que es algo totalmente nuevo, sin embargo ya una vez que te adaptas trabajas de una manera más eficaz y eficiente haciendo casi nula la utilización del teclado. Buenos materiales y calidad del producto.

The TourBox NEO also offers over 100 customization options, allowing me to fine-tune the device to fit my specific needs. The software interface is user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to set up and customize. One of the things I love most about the TourBox NEO is its compact size. It's small enough to fit comfortably on my desk without taking up too much space, but still provides all the functionality I need as a content creator. Overall, I highly recommend the TourBox NEO Quick Key Tools for Creators to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient way to streamline their workflow. It's a game-changer for anyone who wants to work faster and more efficiently. Cons - While the TourBox NEO offers a lot of customization options for creators, there are some cons that potential buyers should be aware of before making a purchase. Firstly, the device can take some time to set up and get used to. The customization options are extensive, but this can also make it overwhelming for some users. The device can also be bulky and take up a significant amount of desk space, which may be an issue for those with limited workspace. Additionally, the TourBox NEO may not be compatible with all software programs, which limits its versatility for certain creators. Some users have also reported issues with the device not functioning properly or disconnecting from the computer. Overall, while the TourBox NEO offers many customization options for creators, it may not be the best fit for everyone. Potential buyers should consider their workspace limitations and software compatibility before making a purchase.

Habe mir das Teil gekauft, weil ich weder an der Tastatur, noch am Hotas Warthog (Joystick/Schubregler) Drehregler habe. Installieren ist problemlos und das Programm öffnet sofort in Deutsch. Die Belegung der Drehregler und Tasten ist simpel und selbsterklärend. Einsatzmöglichkeiten nahezu unbegrenzt: Höhenmesser einstellen, Beleuchtung des Cockpits, Lautstärke der Funkgeräte, Reichweite des Radars etc. Es gibt 3 Einstellungen für die Feinheit Drehregler. Falls man eine feinere oder gröbere Einstellung wünscht. Für die Höhenmesser in der A-10 und Hornet lässt sich der Luftdruck so präzise einstellen. Durch unterschiedliche Formen der Drehregler und Tasten ist das Gerät auch blind zu bedienen. Also ideal geeignet, wenn man den Feind nicht aus den Augen verlieren darf….. Eine ideale Ergänzung zum Elgato Stream Deck!

このデバイスはすごいですね。 使いやすいし、編集がすごく楽になりました。
