As the first Bluetooth controller for digital creators on the market, we plan to stay ahead, by creating an unprecedented & compelling protocol for Bluetooth editing controller. This Bluetooth LE 5.1 technology provides seamless, instant connection to your devices with perfectly consistent and strong pairing ability.

 

As a dual-channel Bluetooth controller, featuring presets auto switch, TourBox Elite allows you to switch seamlessly among various devices and programs.

That means you can literally handle multiple programs, projects and professions all well at the same time! 

 

TourBox Elite comes in with a small haptic bump that provides excellent responsiveness every time rotating or scrolling the knob, dial and scroll.

In various scenarios, you could tailor the haptic touch intensity to your needs.

 

TourBox Console has 2 variations of haptic feedback levels: Medium (VIB1) and High (VIB2). You may calibrate the level of force through the haptic tool icon on the console to meet your exact needs.

Of course, you can also disable this feature and stick with the default settings with some loss of the haptic feel, the decision is entirely yours.

 

Think of it as if you’re changing the scroll settings on your mouse, how many lines to scroll each time, the speed and sensitivity control will do exactly that.

There are three dedicated modes: Standard, Slow1 and Slow2.

 

When you alter the speed mode from Slow1 to Slow2, less corresponding value would be changed in the program you use and less haptic feedback would be sensed. Standard being the most responsive, and Slow 2 being the least of all. 

 

Since there is no physical scale marks on the rotary buttons of TourBox Elite, the sense of touch is simulated by virtue of the internal vibration motor. That’s why the haptic feedback can be switched off or configured to your preferred level of force.

 

TourBox Elite incorporates the first wide-band motor in the industry, bringing a simulated touch that is immersive and subtle.

 

Traditional motors feature a low damp, high elasticity and slow response. By contrast, the innovative wide-band vibration motor is characterized by rapid start and stop with accurate and timely response, making it perfect to simulate the haptic touch.

 

TourMenu is a menu tool developed by the TourBox Tech Team, to act as an extension plugin for the TourBox Elite.

 

TourMenu can be displayed anytime at mouse pointer and you may assign various functions. 

 

Functions can be set up differently for each piece of software you’re using.

 

We offer the most convenient and easiest way to set up macros.

Leave all the confusing codes behind, and literally set up your own macro command with just a few clicks on the TourBox Elite.

 

A macro contains multiple groups while each group consist of multiple actions. Configurable actions include keyboard shortcuts, mouse action, delay, text input, file and folder opening and link directing. All macros can be set to execute in forward or reverse order, one time or recurringly.

 

An excellent product shall bring the ultimate user experience. When designing the TourBox Elite, we adapted 4 different switch encoders, and carefully modified the layout, to cater to the needs of various scenarios and frequency. All these buttons come with unique shapes and tactile touch, bringing you into the most engaging editing tour. 

 

 

TourBox Elite comes with only 14 buttons, yet it supports nearly 100 straightforward actions including single-click, double-click, press and hold and combos

All keyboard and mouse shortcuts can be mapped onto the TourBox Elite. Every button is configurable. And it’s more than that.  

 

TourBox Elite is utterly playful because of its boundless imagination and infinite possibilities. You can always discover and develop new functions of the TourBox Elite and utilize it in your workflow. 

 

Exclusive built-in feature enables you to assign these actions on your TourBox Elite, and offers you absolute control and efficiency beyond the out-of-date keyboard and mouse combinations

 

TourBox Console allows you to manage multiple presets and automatically switch to the corresponding preset when it identifies the software you are using. 

 

You could use the official templates, import the ones shared by the community or create your own and share it to other TourBoxers.

 

The same software can be applied with several presets for different workflows.

 

TourBoxers are the heart and soul of the TourBox Community. A significant number of global user presets for creative software such as Final Cut Pro, Premiere, Affinity Photo and DaVinci Resolve are shared within the community. We are grateful to see TourBoxers’ enthusiasm to share concepts and borderless abilities to discover new tricks and combinations. 

As we continue to build the TourBox Console Ecosystem, we envision a place where creatives can easily upload and download presets, to amplify their creativity journey, also providing an opportunity for creators around the world to not only share their ideas with one another but also inspire each other with their creations.

 

Instead of remembering complicated keyboard shortcuts, you could use the Tag system. Each shortcut can be assigned with a lucid tag illustrating its actual function. 

 

A DIY head-up-display will be projected on the screen throughout the entire process of creation to provide instructive information of the button in real time.

Furthermore, you can select the button module required to be displayed or recall the visual guide with only one click.

 

With the organic button distributions on TourBox Elite, you no longer need to look down or memorize keyboard shortcuts. Just create freely with your eyes on the screen.

 

TourBox Elite inherits an organic silhouette design combining the distinguishing button layouts, enabling an experience that greatly reduces movement around your wrist, so you can be in absolute command of your device. 

 

All accounts were considered when we designed the TourBox Elite, that includes durability, comfort, and most importantly, the quality of it all. TourBox Elite also uses a fingerprint-proof processing technique.

 

 

 

 

Creativity should not to be limited by complexity, period.

The keyboard was purposely invented for typing. It wasn’t built for the daily tasks of creative software, and it reduces the synergy between creatives and inspiration, which is vital. In addition to traditional mouses and keyboards, there is a lack of products on the market that can really solve this problem, and provide intuitive interaction between control and operation, making creation more enjoyable.

In 2017, TourBox Tech was founded in silicon valley, USA, bringing together a group of like-minded hardware and software engineers, industrial designers and creatives from MediaTek, Google, Autodesk and more. In order to make a product that meets the needs of the mass creatives, we invited a pack of creators to be part of the design and production journey, including cartoon illustrators, movie directors and photographers. And we are proud to say that the whole team makes this TourBox Elite trailer together! With a shared vision in mind, we believe we could make life easier for digital creators in the world.

 

 

We have always been committed to offering creators a smoother creative experience, so how to make the Bluetooth controller as reliable and effective as the cable version, became our top priority.

Moreover, we need to factor in all scenarios, as each creator is absolutely unique with its own signature, and applications may vary between professions. It was crystal clear that we will need to provide a device that is diverse and capable, from a software and hardware point of view, to act as a catalyst between our users and their ideas.

To achieve this end, we developed a proprietary Bluetooth protocolestablished a brand-new technical framework, and overcame various problems such as mixed operation, component durability, integrated UI design, and more. 

 

In October 2018, we launched the first generation TourBox via Kickstarter.

A little over a year in July 2019, we delivered the TourBox to backers and supporters from all over 58 countries, and received highly praised feedback.

After 12 months of product development and technology refinements, the TourBox Elite is born. Not only is it as smooth and reliable as the cable version, but also equipped with more advanced functionality and outstanding longevity, the wire-free feature will truly empower creators to master what they make, and elevate their work to a whole new level.

 

TourBox was founded to address the rising demands of creative workflows and the overwhelming complexities of daily editing operations.

The meticulously crafted editing console solves this with deep integrations, seamless controls, and intuitively designed user interfaces that make achieving the perfect creation, easy.

We’re extremely passionate about leading the movement toward creation, from both the hardware and software standpoint, with a fierce team of creators, engineers, and enthusiasts, we aim to continually develop products that are designed to empower your creativity and bring your vision to life. 

 

TourBox Console, from the initial version to the latest V3.1.3, has carefully considered users’ feedback and suggestions. With that in mind, every upgrade has brought numerous extensive functions and met different creative operations.

 

TourBoxers unite from over 100 countries and regions. The device supports 10 languages, including English, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. More languages will be added in the coming future.

 

 

Trusted by aspiring professionals and inventive creators around the world.
