[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 184083, member: 15110"] Another tool I use is the [URL=http://www.contourdesign.com/shuttlepro/shuttlexpress.htm]ShuttleXpress[/URL] from Contour Designs. It's the baby brother of the ShuttlePRO; this version is more compact and has fewer buttons. I've found it's the perfect size for my desk and there are enough buttons to make it a powerful tool but not so many that you forget what you programmed the buttons for. It's incredibly useful with a variety of programs. For example, I use it extensively with Illustrator CS and my tablet. I use the tablet for drawing freehand shapes and the ShuttleXpress for changing tools and zooming in and out, as well as moving select objects. I also have buttons programmed for delete and undo, which is really handy when you're in the work groove and you don't have to jump back to the keyboard. The software allows you to program the buttons for each application individually. The Graphire's software, I believe, only allows you to do one group of settings, but the Intuos' software should let you do multiple programs. The Graphire has a scrollbar and a couple buttons that you can program while the Intuos has touch-strips all over the place; I may not need my ShuttleXpress anymore if I upgrade to an Intuos lol.
