TourBox Elite Plus review: a wireless control console for computers and tablets

The TourBox Elite Plus, a wireless control console for computers and tablets, has been on the market since 2018. Aimed at photographers, videographers and digital artists, this compact device offers tactile control over creative software settings. The Elite Plus provides precise adjustments using buttons, wheels and dials, making it a more expensive option compared to other models in the TourBox range.

Compatible with macOS 10.13 and above, Windows 10 and above, Android, and iOS, the Elite Plus connects wirelessly to computers via Bluetooth and can also be powered by two AA batteries. Alternatively, it can be connected and powered via a USB-C cable. It can also connect to iOS and Android tablets via Bluetooth. The device features a single wheel, one knob, one dial, and 14 buttons, which can also function as clickable buttons. An additional D-pad comprises four of the buttons.

The TourBox Elite Plus offers extensive compatibility with multiple software and connectivity options, including USB-C and Bluetooth. Powered by USB-C or AA batteries, the device runs on the TourBox Console software, which is intuitive and easy to use. The controller boasts excellent build quality, with a UV antibacterial, fingerprint-resistant coating to keep it clean during extended use.

Performance-wise, the Elite Plus is a great creative software controller that simplifies workflows when combined with keyboard shortcuts. Its haptic feedback enhances the tactile experience, and users can adjust the intensity level or turn it off entirely. The device comes in four color options and an optional carry case for added protection during travel.

Priced at $297 / £297 or $55 / £55 with an accessory package, the Elite Plus is more expensive than lower-level models but is the better choice for users who plan to use the TourBox with a tablet.
