The design of the NX Touch also includes a bank navigation feature with an up/down function and a numerical display, providing easy access to different playback banks.

The main Go section of the NX Touch includes Snap, Release, Pause, and Go buttons for immediate access to essential functions during live performances. Additional command buttons allow for fixture selection with Last, Next, and Highlight functions, alongside four Parameter Select buttons and four Parameter Adjust touch faders for precise control over lighting parameters. The console's 10 playback touch faders feature three buttons each (two touch pads and one velocity pad), giving users ample flexibility in managing lighting cues and effects.

The NX Touch is not only functional but also meets the necessary requirements for optimal performance, requiring a Windows 10 operating system, Intel Core i3 processor (6th Generation or newer), 8 GB of RAM, and an SSD drive with at least 40 GB of available disk space. It also features a minimum widescreen monitor resolution of 1280x768, with a capacitive multi-touchscreen highly recommended for the best user experience.
