Boy that’s pretty handy…
group of 4 on top for cut/copy/paste/duplicate-selection
then up/down/esc/left/right

and the rest.. I can’t think of what I’d do with them yet but I’m sure they’ll be used for something.. maybe it would be useful to have a special ‘reboot active directory server’ button for days the users are bothering me (jk)

It would be really handy if it allowed application specific profiles.. so for my remote-server i could use one set, for my dev app i could use another, and so on.

Now if they’d just use the same tech as found in http://www.ohgizmo.com/?p=353 (kbd with oled-lcd’s for each key so they can dynamically change based upon app)
.. then I’d be in heaven

Could you post an update if you have success with this input device and Linux?

I’ve been thinking about buying a ShuttlePRO and making it work with baudline. So any Linux feedback you can share would be most appreciated. Thanks.

I’ve been considering one of those for a couple of years.. it is supposed to make video editing a lot easier by scroll wheeling through the timeline, rather than clicking and dragging, which often makes me run out of desk space to drag.. So that controller is supposed to be easier to use with programmable functions like cut cipy paste, etc…
I got one of the colored video aditing keyboards, which made using adobe premier much easier and faster.. If I would just spring the extra hundred bucks for the shuttle then thing should be even smoother… thanks for the reminder of this cool device, now that I am doing more video work again, I may have to pick one of these up.

wow Matt, sounds like you must have been really bored…

Can you think of a practical use for something like this? It’s cool and all, but what purpose does it serve?

It’s like the biometric authentication devices. My cousin has one on the computers in his basement… It’s not practical.

I think if an intruder is already in your house, you have bigger worries than him getting on your computer..

I’m trying to find a use for this controler, and other than perhaps winamp remote.. i’m drawing a blank.

It must be frustrating to blog on something that interests you only to get off-topic comments on the day job. I can’t imagine keeping up with all those buttons… but it looks good.
