Currently retailing at $169 (or $179 with a travel storage bag), the TourBox is substantially less expensive than the $549 Loupedeck CT, and is a handy chuck of cash cheaper than the more modest $249 Loupedeck+ console.

The Loupedeck CT is meant to speed up creative work. It does that by mapping tasks and actions to physical buttons and dials that normally require clicking around, scrolling through menus and sub-menus, and dragging digital sliders. The thinking is that the ungainly general purpose keyboard and mouse you normally use can be replaced, or at least augmented, with a purpose-built input device. The Loupedeck CT has 6 dials, 8 round buttons, 12 square buttons, a large control wheel with a touch screen on top, and 12 touch screen buttons. It’s a lot of different input options, and most of them can hold multiple different functions. While you’re never going to be able to use it to write an email, it has more than enough inputs to let you do a lot in Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere, and the like. On that note, out of the box the Loupedeck CT is set up to work with some of the biggest professional apps. You can create your own profiles so it can work with other apps, thus it’s theoretically c...
