I really want something like this to pair with my iPad Pro when working in design tools (Affinity, Procreate, whatever). Apple Pencil in one hand, accessible keyboard shortcuts in the other.

My solution was to stick a tiny cheap macro keyboard on the back of the iPad... but I don't love the ergonomics.

Awesome work, well done.

Have you considered a twiddler? See https://www.mytwiddler.com/

Well I'll be damned, that actually looks kind of perfect. I thought I'd done my research too, but this never made it on my radar.

Can you vouch for whether it's any good for the use case I had in mind (Apple Pencil + [thing] + iPad)? It looks neat in any case, thanks for the tip.

I dont own one, but curate https://reddit.com/r/ergomobilecomputers where you may want to search for other tablet/iPad setups.

Theres been a couple Twiddler setups shared on there too.

I was experimenting with a Twiddler 3 for keyboard shortcuts on a Surface running Illustrator for a while. Started getting decent speed with my custom layout designed around my most used shortcuts. Ultimately I went back to a Mac laptop plus a drawing tablet, but this was because of issues with the Surface consistently dropping the first half a second of most of my stylus strokes, not because of the Twiddler.
