As a quadriplegic artist who mainly uses Procreate, I personally cannot physically do a lot of the gesture controls because of how my fingers are. I actually think this is pretty neat and might have to look into getting one! Thank you for sharing information about this little device!
I've seen some professional artists using procreate and grab a USB keyboard to use hotkeys off to the side with one hand, rather than trying to use the gestures. I think they're used to constant hot-keys with Photoshop. But they're VERY fast with it. Seems like it really helps their productivity quite a bit, but they also look like they've been doing it for years. Undo and redo are the most obvious ones.
I have severe Cerebral Palsy and have always had great difficulty with gestures that require multiple finger input, so I just purchased one of these after having a look at it.
So as someone who has really struggled with learning the procreate interface and memorizing all the tips/tricks and such that make it easier to use, this looks supremely helpful and I will definitely look into getting it for myself. My hand dexterity can vary from day to day or even hour to hour due to my health, so to have a physical option I can rely on that reduces strain for both my body and my mind is really encouraging
Looks to me like all those "save a few moments" moments adds up to a much increased work speed. When you make art for hours a day it's ALL about work flow efficiency. It's not the kind of time savings you find with Photoshop and keyboard shortcuts, but it looks like it would save a ton of extra gestures, and it's not like your off hand is doing anything else important while drawing.
I agree with this statement 100% As someone struggling to embrace Procreate or Affinity Photo/Designer after using Photoshop and co for ages on Desktops, I get disheartened quite quick the moment I feel too much friction iterating on the same tasks… the way I learn is to try many things many times wrong until I start barely to get it right, selecting/locking/switching layers in procreate felt painful. Clipping layers and masks on Affinity is also painful (compared to photoshop)… if this little keyboard helps doing some of those tasks faster, the cost of the mistake gets diluted big time and motivates to try over and over again. As an example, not the best one but bear with me, imagine if “undo” and “redo” was hidden behind a few menus, taps, gestures and clicks… it would be a no go for me right away or would look for ways to undo faster (i.e. erasing it).
I think the keyboard personally is way more efficient for my workflow with the shortcuts having me not stop and go into a menu. I feel like the stopping is the most frustrating part about procreate and the quick menu doesn’t really help
I'm so glad i found this video - was looking for a numpad to speed up my workflow, but couldn't find anything that would work well with procreate. this is perfect. For me the tap/touch commands honestly don't work half the time. Switching between brush and pen with the double tap on the pencil doesn't always work. This will save me so much time (from angrily tapping my iPad and Pencil over and over again)
This video was perfect! I’ve been using procreate since 2018 but the thing that drives me absolutely BONKERS is when the iPad just doesn’t register the screen taps for whatever reason. So this is perfect for that so I will be buying it. (With your affection link of course) thanks for the quick crash course video!
I think this can be useful for accessing all those shortcuts while in fullscreen. I never use fullscreen because it's too much of a pain to then access all my menu items, but with this it's still accessible. I probably still wouldn't get it haha but I can see it being useful that way :)
As someone who basically lived in PS CS6 for a long time and switched to Procreate and an iPad for the simplicity and versatility of it, this actually seems like something I want because my old Huion display tab has physical keys on it, and I can NOT wrap my head around some of the questionable UI and design in Procreate, so this probably sold me on taking a chance on one of these little keypads just to get back some of those features on my left hand and turn off ones that either befuddle me or actively get in the way, like the pencil double tap, I accidentally do that one ALL the time.
I really can not warm up to any gesture related controls on any device. I do not know exactly why but half of the time I do not accomplish what i was attempting or have to go way out of my comfort zone to even perform a gesture. And it still is this way although I have been using my IPad for over 3 years now. A keyboard like that would almost certainly be way more intuitive to me. I will definetly look into getting one for myself
Same. I’ve tried these gesture controls so many times and I either trigger something without meaning to or ending up with the wrong one and no matter times I try it, I have to turn it off because it brings my workflow to a screeching halt.
pretty good for people who're use to keyboard shortcuts/controls coming from someone who mainly use keyboard myself and having an extra one handed keyboard for productivity this is a great addition. but the gesture controls serve just fine on their own if you tailored it yourself to suit your own needs.
I was about 2 minutes away from pulling the trigger on buying one of these, but you made some great points and I think I'll be saving my money. Thanks!
While I ended up on your video because I’m trying to find solutions to a limitation problem; this seems like it might have a useful purpose;but my limitation is my left hand is non-functional due to being unable to use it; from paralysis from a stroke. Im learning to use my right hand(non-dominant side) with Procreate. Regardless of my situation; good video!
I think this is for Photoshop keyboard shortcutters. I have the keys 'A' & 'Z' setup as the brush tip resizing too, just like those 2 keys. Might have to check it out. Thank you for covering this item.
Hey, what apron is that brother? I’ve been looking for one with padded shoulders due to an injury and it looks so nice lol. Also thanks for the video! I’ve got tendinosos so it’ll be great to split the movements between hands and appreciate the impressions here
for me, the main reason I would want this keyboard (besides definitely using it for nomad sculpt) is the color picker and for adjustment "layers". Color picking is super slow in procreate and something I use all the time and having to go through three menus to find adjustments is tedious
I personally set the quick menu on a touch+drag hand gesture, and then set the color picking on the original quick menu button (the square between the two sliders). I just have to hold that button with my left hand and color pick with my pencil in the right hand, and release that button to keep drawing. Easy shortcut !
@@qt31415 that's what I use too. It works great but I'd love to have something with marked buttons. It's a shame the CSP tabmate isn't compatible with ipad...
Really good review. I'll probably keep trying to learn the tricks of Procreate, but it's nice to know there's something out there in case I cannot manage it.
I feel that so much, when I first got procreate and was looking up hand gestures, it dawned on me that I couldn’t even place my fingers on the screen due to my nails and would have to place them in an awkward position just to make it work
Yeah I wish he explained how he made the custom shortcut for that. I’ve always wanted this feature with procreate but don’t know what it’s called or how to do it.
The main reason why I can’t get into Procreate is cos I’m too used to photoshop and clip studio shortcuts. Having to tap to access them is a real chore. I’ll give something like this a try
Somewhat related somewhat not: does anyone else have issues with their Apple pencil 2 swapping between eraser/pencil without actually doubletapping? We have 2 in our house and it happens to me on both, but not at all to my s/o. Maybe I just hold my pencil weird 🤷♂️
Thanks for this one. It was very useful for me as I was thinking about actually buying that gadget. I think it would be more useful if the guys from Procreate had designed it.
Procreate should just make a hotkey menu. Then you can connect to other kinds of controllers instead of this particular keyboard. Then you can map the shortcuts you want and frequently use.
I have 2 questions: 1. How do you name a character? Like do you have any advice for naming original characters? 2. How do you figure out what your character’s voice sounds like? Or an idea of what their voice is like?
After so many years of using the touch interface of Procreate and wielding all the intricacies, I personally don't see a need to lug around a keyboard pad.
Therapist: Blue chin Biko isn't real, he can't hurt you Blue chin Biko: For real, really interesting video! A cosy comfy atmosphere as usual, it was very intriguing to hear your insights and observations even as a Photoshop heathen.
I wish this was programmable to use with other drawing apps. Apparently it is hard coded for only Procreate. Which is useless for me, Procreate doesn't need an external keyboard. Some other apps would definitely benefit from a physical keypad, but I can't find a similar small keypad which works for ipad.
Omg I need this, Im used to using the keyboard with photoshop shortcuts on my pc and getting used to the ipad tbe one thing that annoys me is the fackt that i have to touvjt the screen or to do most shortcuts things
I don't think it would be hard to get used to something like this. I personally use a bluetooth keyboard for my gestures whenever I'm drawing on my iPad.
My issue with Procreate’s UI is that you can’t change the orientation of the menus and I have torn muscle and tendon problems, so all that reaching around and tapping kills my arm and wrist if I’m having an off day where art and programs refuse to just cooperate. I wish they had a way to make all the buttons on the side because the way I hold it with my other hand I can tap them more easily like a giant game controller 🤣 but since I’m right handed and the tools are only always on the top right I can’t just use my left hand to do all that crap instead of my drawing hand and quick menu has a habit of showing up at all the wrong times. The one they made for Accessibility is completely useless, you can’t customize it or change the orientation from horizontal to vertical and the original buttons you add to it stay rather than switching into it which makes them in the way if you have a problem hitting them, I’m constantly tapping the size and opacity instead of undo/redo and that middle button, which hardly works because you can’t even make that larger either… they need to make things more customizable. I end up not bothering with access options because of all of these issues. The layer select confuses me too. I have no idea why they don’t just make things more visible at a glance, like layer opacity % and what not. There’s a ton of extra space that’s just taking up room if they don’t make use of it. Meh. I wish the controller had arrows for menu navigation and some sort of brail type markers to make it quicker by feel, but that’s not a big deal considering all the useful shortcuts lol
I prefer using keyboards, so much faster and easier for me..the only gesture i ever use in procreate are zoom in/out and rotate. So this keyboard might be useful to me.
How were you able to customize the eyedropper key to make it do the layer selection? I just bought one of these and would love to have that function instead of one of the others but cannot figure out how to customize the keys! Please help!
I believe that was explained in the video- it’s not as much an eyedropper button as it is a modifier button, and the function of it can be changed in Procreate’s settings 🙂
I just started using it as I don’t think there is a way to have a smudge key. If you hit the command key and hold it it tells you what keys are mappable to a regular keyboard and smudge isn’t an option :/ so it may be out of its capabilities specifically because procreate doesn’t have a key bind setting for it 😢
Its best for such keyboards to be programmable via an app. The problem is this keyboard is specific for the procreate shortcuts. If this was programable you could then have a button to switch between profiles and use it for any other software and even change what each button does in procreate itself so you could assign the shortcuts you want for the keys you want instead of having a standard layout that was decided by the designer.
my ipad has a crack on the screen that give me 4 inches of dulled screen space and i have shaky hands. this tool looks absolutely useful. i hate the ipads tiny little buttons and wish you would have thought of the accessibility part of this item beforehand
anyone familiar with a programmable 'keypads' for computers (i have about 5 of them) will see this is just a keypad that already has buttons programmed. you could in theory buy a un-programmed keypad and program the buttons to do whatever you want
Have you tried this with any windows machine or Mac desktop/laptops. Because personally I think something like this would be neat for like a surface pro whitch doesn’t have drawing apps with as good a gesture system as procreate
Omg, as a left handed person it’s giving me anxiety watching you use your left hand for the keyboard and draw with your right hand. I have no idea why and it’s tripping me out right now.😅
Physical keys will always be faster. Saving a few seconds or even milliseconds per action quickly adds up when you're working on pieces for dozens of hours, let alone if it's your job. Procreate needs to let us rebind keys already as the default keyboard bind are terrible.

same here. I also think its better with the color picker be3cause now i cant trigger it with the pencil or finger so for me its a awesome addon.
I didnt even know there was a quick menu lmao.
Procreate is too trendy. If you spend more than an hour drawing then you need a proper input methods.
I only started feeling this recently as well, moving into menus tapping tools is frustrating while you try to get into the flow.
