Our X-keys Sticks add significant controls to the workstations at Pixar. See how many you can spot in this behind the scenes video for Inside Out
Pixar uses custom animation software built by their Studio Tools department and the keys on the X-keys are specific to the software. Any animator or artist can add an X-keys to their workstation and trigger macros for Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator, or any other program that accepts keystrokes.
