Oh- ok! How did you use it on the Ipad? I hear a lot of people use the keyboard along side it. IT seems a clumsy option. I'd just prefer using procreate cause the interface is cleaner and high use buttons are easy to access. Cintiq make sense cause you can hot key it. How do you deal with that?

I have the keyboard but I used it as a tablet with the like art glove. That way it didn't move around as I was doodling and I could use all the touch features. I don't use hotkeys nearly as much as I should so for me it wasn't much of an issue lol. I just used undo and redo which is a 2 finger or 3 finger tap on the iPad.
As for the cintiq, I actually haven't set anything up yet, but I saw a nifty thing where you can use a nintendo switch joycon as a pretty neat remote. I plan on setting that up soon ☺

    Wait- what? A switch? Huh? Do expand on that?!?

      Yeah you can use the switch controller as a remote for programs such as clip studio. I'm sure it'll work for photoshop and procreate as well lol. It might even work on the iPad but I haven't tested it out.
      So basically you'd hold the sync button on your joycon till it starts searching for a link. In the Bluetooth settings on your pc, you'll select the joycon.
      From there it's just a matter of mapping the buttons to keystrokes/commands. If you're on a Mac you may need like a helper program like "enjoyable" but the concept is the same.
      But it can act as a remote that can do quite a few different things lol

        I had to take a minute to have a research on this, and I ended up getting an 8bitduo game controller, and had a poke with CSP on my ipad and that changes things up D8 I'm gonna give CSP another go. I think I can handle the idea of a hand controller for short cuts, and the 8bit controller is super small- honestly too small for gaming on but great for artists. I'm gonna try it! Thank you for pointing it out for me <3
