has it never occurred to you that they've made one handed versiions.
plus the one in your pic isnt even meant for two hands

I have the one on the right, but use it for gaming. I would assume Anon is using it for keyboard shortcuts since it's programmable. If you're working on a Cintiq-like device or tablet with no shortcut sidebars, it can see it being handy.

just get a small keyboard

I have a keyboard with macro keys, I've got keys bound to new layer, merge layer down, enlarge/size down brush, and go up/down layers.

90% of the time I just use the first two.

>this

honestly the best way. Its a mess using all kinds of different assigned hotkeys and across diferrent programs.

If you use photoshop, just edit the normal hotkeys, use actions for multiple step things and autohotkey for the non programmable stuff, all with a normal keyboard.

>>3061957
If you have a cintiq you can get a keyboard tray and put a keyboard on it.

Don't fucking use a keyboard period, you can have all the hotkeys you need on a g13 and not need a keyboard at all. It's much more ergonomic and it isn't difficult to set it between multiple programs. Assuming you use like two programs.

I cannot live without mine now.

I mean try to cltr+shit+alt+N without looking at the keyboard and using only one hand.
Having to move your eyes out of the screen to kind the hotkeys breaks the flow.

Not only that, I can change keyboard with a button so I have one for lineart tools, one for painting, etc.

use a keyboard, so when you finally land that hypothetical studio job you don't show up lookin like a fuckin mong yugioh character.

I use this thing called a Ducky Pocket. It's really nice because it has 2 layers of complete programmability.

I can navigate and do anything I could possibly dream of in SAI without touching my mouse or keyboard.

I hold it under my desk on my leg so I don't even need to look at it. It's just muscle memory now. I almost want to buy a second on in case they become hard to find in the future I love it so much.

I remember seeing a thread a while ago where some dude used a Nintendo Switch joy-con for hotkeys.

>mean one hand holding pen and the other one holds something that actually designed for 2 hand use.
>set all hotkeys to CTRL+ALT+<key>
>map that combination to a single button on your video game controller(using a special program)
It's really simple. If you're right handed, hold the controller's right grip with your left hand.

>Triangle = CTRL ALT X
>Square = CTRL ALT O
So do you press CTRL + ALT + X/O on the gamepad?

I've actually seen someone use a Switch joycon with their tablet.

They're not ergonomic depending on your tablet setup. If you have a large tablet or a cintiq, having a G13 or Razer Tartarus/Orbweaver is much easer on the wrists over a longer period of time, since they were designed to be positioned to the left of the keyboard in the first place.

not a gamepad but I use one of these with my cintiq 13" since it doesn't have the rotary wheel I was used to on my intuos

Ctrl+Z and B is all I need

>>3062984
What exactly do you use?
I just transferred from intuos to cintiq 13 myself and really miss the wheel.

>>3062998
It's called ShuttlePro by Contour Design. I use the middle wheel in lieu of the intuos wheel for changing brush size, that's the main reason I bought it, but I use the buttons for PS shortcuts

B - brush
S - clone
J - patch tool
shift+J - cycle patch tool/healing brush/etc
space - pan
cmd+space (zoom)
I - eyedropper
X - switch background/foreground color

I work as a retoucher so the keybinds are mostly for that, not painting. But I feel it has improved my workflow for both retouch and digital painting

>G13

got a real badass here, look a them fucking macros

>>3062841
youll need it anyway when you need to type something, plus you dont have to switch around everytime you just wanna use the computer normally. I think its the best way. Just remember that if you lose your pad or you have to work at a workstation, all those shortcuts and tips in your head will be lost, but have at it if you really think it benefits you.

I just use a CHEAP AS FUCK WIRELESS numberpad on amazon. Coupled together with "HIDMacros" (free software) you can program 2 layers of functionality to it for <10$

and its fucking wireless

>>3063111
A few things I use it for; photoshop actions (binded to F3 key for example)- flip canvas horiazontally, copy all merged and paste, free transform, merge layer, new layer, invert, deselect, hue/saturation, brush sizes, loadsa shit

Enjoy having to look away from your drawing every time you want to change a tool or perform an action that your hand isn't already on.

I do use a joystick.
so I use Joy2key to map buttons as keys or commands.
pretty easy.

Use a PS1 ascii Grip. very comfy.
