The ultimate wireless remote for the iPad. Create and edit elaborate control panels with buttons, sliders, dials, panners, and circular menus that control any application on your Mac or Windows. Work like a pro in Photoshop, Illustrator, SketchUp, Aperture, Cinema4D, ZBrush, Final Cut Pro, and ANY application on your Mac or Windows using your iPad as a control panel. Swipe to rotate a 3D model, or dial to adjust brush size, or pan with your fingers to navigate a canvas, and access any tool with simple taps without moving your mouse and drilling down menus.
Controls can be colored and tagged with icons for easy access. They can be resized, rotated, and even made transparent. Images from your Photo Library can be used as backgrounds or icon images for the controls. Layout transparent controls over an image of an airplane dashboard, or on top of a picture of a Klingon vessel's control panel, and use it to control Photoshop or Microsoft Word! Numerous types of controls and combinations supported, including one that turns the iPad into a wireless trackpad!
You can purchase, from within the app, already made KeyPad layouts with a professional touch. And copy/modify any KeyPad layout you purchase to suit your particular needs. Layouts for various productivity apps added regularly to the KeyPad in-app Store.
