Drawing tablet shortcut remotes

Our pick

Xencelabs Quick Keys

Choose Xencelabs Quick Keys for a drawing desk where you switch shortcut sets: its OLED display keeps the button assignments visible.1

Why this one

  • Eight programmable buttons and five shortcut banks give you several command layouts under your free hand.1
  • The visible labels help you follow those assignments as you change banks.1

Read the review

Before you buy: Quick Keys uses its supplied dongle for wireless operation rather than pairing directly with your computer’s Bluetooth.1 It supports shortcut combinations but not multi-step macros or complex scripts.1
