I’ve been giving it a go.
It’s a well-built device with a solid UI. I still think a Stream Deck gives you more for the money, especially now that the virtual Stream Deck is a feature. Not needing to carry the physical device is a real plus.
Where the TourBox earns its keep is the haptic feedback on the knob and dial. I’ve set them to different speeds and use them instead of the arrow keys. I’m still retraining decades of muscle memory, but on heavy first-round selects across thousands of frames, giving your fingers a break from the arrow keys is genuinely nice.
At three months in, the time savings feel marginal. Right now, it’s more of a neat tool than a must-have. I can see much stronger use cases in video editing or heavy Photoshop work, like scrubbing footage, zooming a timeline, or controlling brush size. Not part of my day-to-day workflow, but there for you if they are.
Keen to know how anyone else has got on with it and how they have it configured.
