The Clip Studio Tabmate connects to your PC/Mac via bluetooth and allows you to assign shortcuts to tools, menu options, commands, and other actions to the various buttons and scroll wheel. I couldn't help but notice a striking similarity with a Nintendo Wii nun-chuck or a joy-con from Nintendo Switch. Just from looking at the thing, it's unclear exactly what it is and how it can help with digital art. It shipped from Japan because it wasn't made available in the US at that time. But was there a possibility that the Clip Studio Tabmate could help make me a better artist? I took the bait and I ordered the device from Amazon. I consider myself a serious artist, so when I read the announcement I was equally insulted and intrigued.Ĭlearly I didn't require some 'cash grab' device to make good art, I've been drawing just fine for years.

Introducing Clip Studio Tabmate, a must have accessory for serious digital artists. One day in August of last year, I launched Clip Studio Paint to work on an illustration and I saw something interesting in the news feed.
