And so, I am a dedicated Microsoft Surface User. This handheld device is perfect for anyone using tablet- why? Because tablets are compact and portable and you may not have use of the keyboard (and probably don't want it attached in order to draw optimally) So- how do you cope with loss of the keyboard shortcuts? This brilliant device. There are 4 different fully-customizable button maps you can set, using the in-program customized TABMATE configuration settings. It is certainly on the small-side, even for my medium-sized hands. Women and people of the err- more compact races, will likely find the size ideal. Because of its size, it is super portable (just like your tablet) and the single AA battery inside lasts a very long time, approx 4 months for me with near daily use. The build is light plastic but still feels quality, with fine molding on the pieces. The buttons do feel small and on the brink of cheap feeling, but this is hard to avoid with their size- the only better option may be to make them a matte metal. You quickly adapt to it and I no longer notice because the buttons have retained their "springiness". Right now, I have 12 buttons that will cause an immediate effect with 1 press and 1 that opens up the Quick Access onscreen menu, allowing for exponential access to even more tools. One button is mapped to show and hide the pallets, maximizing canvas screen area. (Celsys, please incorporate a way to fully hide everything but the canvas for us tablet users and people who like to simulate traditional media/paper on pencil). There is also the rolling wheel that I have set for zooming in and out. The "should" buttons are left set as Undo/Redo and the trigger is spring loaded Soft Eraser. You will be amazed at how much faster this device makes your work flow. I would venture to say that this thing is a must-have for any artist who gets paid to art. Good job on this one, Celsys, I will continue to use your software and take a good long look at any future accessories you develop. Review: AMAZING! I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IT! - I am a professional freelance illustrator. I bought this for my Surface Pro 4 Tablet and my Clip Studio EX program I installed on it. Was skeptical but was tired of trying to touch tiny icons on my screen. It comes with 4 different "modes" which you can extensively customize. You can: - Assign select keystroke modifiers (alt, shift, ctrl, etc.), - Assign tools and their subsets (so you can select the mapping pen with one and the g pen with another or use the same button to cycle through the subsets) - Change between modes with the press of one button - Use the wheel to either scroll through layers, adjust your brush size, or even scroll through colors. - Assign buttons to navigate color palettes efficiently I was using a Large Wacom Intuos Pro tablet (no screen) on my desktop pc. It has a wheel and like 6 buttons. The buttons reset like once a week for some reason. I never have this problem with the Tabmate. The Intuous Pro also has a noticable delay. The Tabmate does not. I find the sheer quantity of options to be the greatest asset. It's also really nice being able to rest my hand wherever I want when I draw. I no longer have to keep it poised on my tablet. I have yet to try this on my PC because I'm actually no longer working on my Intuos tablet since the Surface Pro 4 and the Tabmate are just too great not to use them. Finding ways to set it up so I can connect my Surface Pro 4 to the PC for streaming. Biggest drawback is that it runs on batteries. I recommend turning it off if you're stepping away for like 2-5 minutes. If you don't, it is still technically "on" and uses the batteries. When I wasn't turning it off for bathroom breaks or to get a drink, I went through the batteries in 2 weeks. Since I started turning it off, it's been nearly a month and I haven't had to replace them. This is perfect for hobbyists, professionals, and students. I honestly cannot work in Clip Studio without it anymore. It has greatly reduced the amount of time I spend on each piece of art and has made working so much easier. Highly recommend!

Horrible quality.
This is the second one that I've had. The first one lasted more than a year. The latest one only lasted 7 months before the scroll wheel broke again. It is such a shame too. I loved using it, but it is just not a well-built product. These things are just not built to handle daily use as a professional art tool.

Extremely versatile little tool
This works brilliantly with CSP. As one would hope - it's ergonomic, feels nice to hold, has 4 setups you can switch between while using it, and doesn't devour batteries quickly. It works with the mobile variant as well which is where I find it the most useful - and many of the shortcuts are in places that feel natural by default. You can tweak every single button and shortcut operation though so if it isn't great for you out of the box you can set it just how you like it. Now here comes the best part - it recognizes just like any other standard controller device. You can set this up using software such as JoyToKey and use it with any software you please. I found this out while poking around to see if I could also use this with Krita. Amazing product and I would recommend!

とりあえず、不具合等々が改善されたと思われる部分から。 おそらく購入日等々が出ていると思うので、以降買う方の参考に。 まずはボタン類。 硬かったと言われていたボタンは、現在自分が触っている感じだと誤動作しない良い感じの硬さで、非常に押しやすいです。ボタン類は全部良い感じの硬さなので、これは改善されているかと。 ホイールはまだ長時間触っていないのでわからないです。ただ、Youtubeで紹介されているかたの動画を見ると、ある時期から改善されているような感じがあるそう。 次にbluetooth接続。Macbook Proで使用していますが、現在まで不安定な挙動をしたことは一切ありません。これもおそらく改善されていると思われます。 使用感ですが、すごく使いやすいです。とりあえずボタンの数が結構あって、クリエイターのことをわかってるなぁと思います。トリガーボタンがあるのも、ショートカットの組み合わせが一気に容易になるため嬉しいですね。 ボタン配置も全部使つかえる位置にあるため、数があっても問題ないです。押せないとかなると意味がないですからね。 あと、重量が軽く、作業時のポジショニングも自由なので楽です。ハンドグリップ型の利点が潰れていなくて良いです。 耐久性はまだわかりませんが、使用感は非常に満足です。

This is an easily held small, replacement for the keyboard when using Clip Studio Paint. It can be programmed with four different profiles and 13 different controls per profile. It can be held in the left or right hand and is intended to be used in conjunction with your graphic tablet. Anyone using Clip Studio must have this control. Excellent product with excellent functionality.

ちょうど1年前に購入し、壊れました。耐久性に問題があります。 しかし、価格は安く、Bluetoothで接続できるメリットが大きいです。 他のデバイスは価格が高かったり、有線だったり、体勢が強制されるというデメリットがあります。それと比べると、タブメイトで妥協するのが良いと思いました。リピート済みです。 放置で接続がすぐ切れる問題もありますが、起動が早いので、私はそこまで問題視していません。 耐久性がせめて2年あれば文句なしの星5でした。これからのブラッシュアップに期待します。

CLIP STUDIO用ではなく3DモデリングソフトであるZBRUSHの為に購入しました。 もちろん、CLIP STUDIO専用の製品なのですが、【JoyToKey】という有料ソフトを使えば、このリモコンをなににだって使えてしまいます。 いろいろと便利そうな左手用デバイスを長い間探し回りましたが、【CLIP STUDIO TABMATEリモコン】が最も優秀で値段もお手頃だと判断しました。 実際に軽くて握りやすくてとても操作がしやすくてリラックスして作業が出来ると実感しました。 とても優秀な製品だと判断したので、このようにCLIP STUDIO以外での使用方法をこちらに参考として書いて置きます。 このリモコンをZbrushでも使用可能にするには【JoyToKey】という別のソフトで使用可能となります。 テンキーとかでも使えちゃいますけどね、興味がある方はJoyToKeyをダウンロードしてテンキーとかで試してみて下さい。 *ブラシサイズをホイールで変更、 *方向キー左右でズーム調整、 *スムーズ機能とマスク機能には反転モードがありますが、それをそのままボタンに設定するのではなくて、二つの違うボタンの同時押しで反転モードになるように設定しました。 *例えば、Shiftボタンはスムーズ機能ですが、Shifと同時にAltボタンを押すとスムーズの反転モードが起動します。 *マスクであるCtrlボタンもAltボタンの同時押しではマスクの反転モードになり、通常のブラシでの盛り付け時にもAltボタンでモードが反転するので、扱いやすいようにスムーズとマスクは親指の丁度いい位置のボタンに設定しておいて、反転モードを起動するAltボタンは後ろのトリガーボタンに設定することでとても楽に作業が出来て、しかもボタン位置が覚えやすくなりました。 *色塗りのスポイトボタンも設定。 *ホイールボタンの押し込みではドローモードとギズモ移動モードの切り替えを設定した。 *ファイルを名付けて保存できるようにボタンも設置した。 Zbrush用の為にTabMateを購入検討中の人は是非こちらの設定を参考にしてみて下さい。 作業がすごく楽になると思います。 使用を開始してから1年になりますが、他の低評価しているレビューのような接続が切れるってのは発生していません、むしろPC側のBluetoothの問題なのでは?って思います。 耐久性の問題?? 自分は何度も作業中に眠ってしまい、タブメイトをしょっちゅう手から地面に落としていますが、故障も無ければヒビとか損傷もありません、地面が硬すぎるのでは?自分の家の床は木材のフローリングだけど。 低評価のレビューには驚かされます、何度も最強の左手デバイスを検索し続けてきましたが、安くて多機能で使いやすいのはタブメイト以外には存在しないでしょう。 自分がこのページに戻ってきた理由、それはタブメイトをもう一つ予備として購入するためだったが、在庫がないらしい。本当にタブメイトはとても役に立ってくれている。

頑張ってショートカットを設定しても結局使わなくなりました。 板タブ使用のため、無線のデバイス持っているより左手用キーボードのほうが有用でした。 ホイール1個では足りないので、3つ付けてほしいです。 ボタンの押し心地も軽くて頼りない感じです。
