The Obsidian NX Touch is a sleek, portable lighting control surface designed to deliver powerful tactile control for Onyx lighting software.
Combining touch-sensitive faders, RGB backlit buttons, and USB-powered simplicity, it’s a perfect bridge between laptop-based lighting programming and full-size consoles.
