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.

Compact enough to fit in a backpack yet powerful enough to control up to 128 universes (with Onyx licensing), the NX Touch gives lighting operators hands-on control for theatres, churches, clubs, and mobile production environments.

⚙️ Technical Specifications

🧠 Why Choose the NX Touch

The NX Touch delivers professional-grade tactile control without the bulk or cost of a full console.
It’s especially suited for:
