Key Takeaways
- Pilot Pro is XPPen’s first dedicated editing console.
- The device includes an all-way joystick, three rotary dials, and 19 programmable buttons.
- XPPen lists the Pilot Pro at $209.
- The console is designed for one-handed, eyes-free control during video editing.
Why It Matters
XPPen is moving into dedicated editing hardware with a console built around tactile controls rather than a keyboard-and-mouse workflow. The Pilot Pro’s joystick, three dials, and 19 programmable buttons point to a compact control surface aimed at faster timeline and parameter adjustments.

The key signal to watch is whether XPPen expands this line beyond the Pilot Pro or keeps it as a single $209 product.
