The NX Wing is the complementary USB control surface for the Obsidian Control Systems ONYX platform. Based on the NX 2 console, it features the same rugged design, footprint, and workflow—delivering a responsive, professional hardware surface to operate ONYX on any PC system without compromises.

Setup is fast and simple: connect the NX Wing to a user-provided PC via USB and start controlling ONYX immediately—no complicated configuration required.
