For years, the Onyx NX2 has stood out as a top-tier, well-priced, and incredibly high-value mid-range console.
When compared to others in the $10,000–$15,000 range, the NX2 consistently delivered more for less. Not only was it more affordable, but it also packed in features competitors couldn’t match — like a tilting screen for better visibility and enhanced output options that expanded its versatility.
15'inch Multi-touch Screen
When you look across the market at other popular consoles—especially the more budget-friendly ones—you’ll quickly notice something missing: screen flexibility. Many don’t offer an adjustable screen at all. And for the few that do, the range is often limited and awkward to use.
That’s where the NX2 sets itself apart. Its advanced multi-touch screen isn’t just adjustable—it’s fully positionable. You can tilt it, shift it, move it exactly where you want it. Whether you’re standing, sitting, or moving between tasks, the NX2 adapts to you—making your workflow smoother, faster, and more comfortable.

Two Powerful Ways to Run the Onyx NX2
Run it as a standalone console:
Boot it up using the built-in processor and you’re ready to go—no extra hardware needed. It’s a complete, self-contained control solution.Or use it as a PC wing with Onyx:
Connect it to your existing PC, and the NX2 becomes a fully integrated hardware controller for Onyx. Pair it with an Onyx USB key and you can unlock up to 128 universes, all while benefiting from the hands-on, physical programming experience that only the Onyx NX2 delivers.
