Thanks for all the replys. I'm pretty convinced that I should at least give it a try. I'm an engineer who does a lot of CADD work so I've come to the realization that ergonomics and tactile/placement of the buttons/keys is very important for efficiency. I am pretty familiar with the Vegas shortcuts but the problem I find is that I often have to look down at the keyboard or remove my hand from the mouse and that just leads to inefficiency.

If I had a device that I could get use to that would allow me to operate it wthout having to move my eyes off of the screen for 90% of the functions this would really help.

Where did you all who have one get them from? I tied the Apple Store here locally but they said they do not stock it. It looks like B&H has one of the cheapest prices but I'd really like to try it before buying it.

Thanks again,
Garrett

I got mine for a very good price off ebay from an outfit called 'Leaders in motion' or leadersinmotion.

I like it, especially the jog wheel...
