For example, if you want to change brush size or zoom in and out in Photoshop, you can do so with the dial. This knob comes with various additional commands you can choose from by clicking or clicking and holding while turning it left or right.
#LUX DELUX STEAM KEYBOARD SHORTCUT FOR MAC#
Unfortunately for Mac users, the FN key can’t be mapped to Command just yet, but it is promised to come in a future update.īefore we are getting into our specific customization regarding inking in the studio, we’d like to say a few words about the multi-functional dial. So basically, with the default settings, in addition to the 10 shortcut buttons, you can undo, cut, copy and paste.
In addition to those 10 buttons, there are also the, Z, X, C, V and the modifier keys: Shift, Control, FN and Alt. For each set, you can configure specific keyboard shortcuts for the 10 shortcut buttons provided (0-9). Naturally, you can switch between them by pressing the relevant M key and the active key lights up. For example, you can have M1 dedicated to Photoshop, M2 dedicated to Illustrator and the third one set up for Affinity designer or any other program. Besides having a dedicated Numerical key, there are three Memory keys, each allowing you to assign a dedicated set of shortcuts to one of your preferred software. First, let us elaborate a little bit on the key arrangement. Now we’d like to talk about the most important aspect of the keypad, namely its day-to-day use in the studio.
This might come as bad news for left-hand artists, although, according to Delux, there is a left-handed version in the works. This comes from the positioning of the keypad’s specialty, which is the knob, that is supposedly operated by your thumb and index finger. One shortcoming for some is that the only convenient placement for the device is on your left. The body is made of brushed aluminum that feels good to the touch. The device is about as thick as any typical plastic keyboard, but the design and build quality of this backlit keyboard is excellent. The downside of using a mechanical keyboard is that they are loud, but we don’t mind the clicking sound because that's easily compensated by the good feeling of the click. The keypad has mechanical key switches, meaning that every click has a satisfying tactile feel to it. Furthermore, the keyboard has a curved front lip, allowing you to rest your hand on it which is very important if you are going to use it for long hours.
It is compact, requires only a small space on your desk and practical enough to fit into your backpack for when you are on the go. The Delux Designer keyboard is unique for its size. In stark contrast with Wacom’s Express Key remote, it connects with your computer with a USB/Type-C cable, there is no wireless option offered at the moment. Although the device itself is relatively small and light it is not suited for being used in the field. We’ve already included the Delux designer in our recommended Tools section, but today we’d like to dig a little deeper and point out its strengths and shortcomings when using in the studio. This is the first keyboard digital EPIGRAPHY is going to review that is oriented specifically towards digital artists, illustrators and graphic designers, therefore we are very excited to share our thoughts after spending 2 months with the device.
