About the ExpressKey Remote

Your ExpressKey Remote allows you to set frequently used actions, shortcuts or keystrokes, simulate button clicks or modifier keys, or create automatic settings for a number of applications.

The ExpressKey Remote can be used with any Wacom device when paired with its wireless receiver plugged into a USB port. The receiver can be plugged into the Wacom device you are using, or into a computer that is connected to the device, either wirelessly or with a cable.

The ExpressKey Remote can be placed anywhere near a Wacom device, or on either of the magnetized areas (bezels) on the sides of the Cintiq 27QHD screen. It can be used as a handheld device, placed on your desk or work surface, or used from several feet away. The ExpressKey Remote should be kept away from objects affected by magnetic fields, such as watches and credit cards; and it should be used at least 1.6 inches (40 mm) away from a pen.

Important: The ExpressKey Remote uses a rechargeable lithium polymer battery. See Battery status for information about charging and recycling the battery.

ExpressKeys

The ExpressKeys on the ExpressKey Remote can be set to a particular action in Wacom Center. The ExpressKey Remote has three sets of ExpressKeys: eight Outer keys along the outside edges; four Inner keys in the center; and five Ring keys centered around the Touch ring.

Touch ring

The Touch ring on the ExpressKey Remote has three different customizable modes. You can assign actions such as Auto Zoom/Scroll, Brush size, Rotate, etc. Use the mode drop-down menus to select an action. The Mode toggle button in the center of the Touch ring moves through each mode in order. When a mode is active, the LED will light and the assigned action will be performed as you move your finger clockwise or counter-clockwise around the Touch ring.

Tip: Also see how to customize the ExpressKeys and how to customize the Touch ring.

How to Use the ExpressKey Remote

  1. Insert the wireless receiver into your computer's USB port, or the USB port of a device connected to your computer.
  2. Move the Power slide button to the left. (This will also wake the ExpressKey Remote when it is in Sleep mode.)
  3. The ExpressKey Remote will be paired with the wireless receiver. If it is not, slide and hold the Power Slide button for 5 seconds. When the Status LED blinks blue, the pairing process is finished and the LED turns off automatically.
