I also liked that you can bind one button to an entire sequence of keys, making commonly performed tasks much quicker to execute. The 4-way directional thumb control is pretty cool, and I like how easy it is to bind the top 11 keys and the mouse wheel to any key you can imagine. I was looking for something inexpensive and basic. There are four separate sets of bindings you can save, which is nice if you play different games and don't want to set up new bindings each time. Great product, easy to set up and use, at a great price.
I also use that big round gray wheel as direction arrows which have many uses in graphics applications.The keypad has three "modes," so you could have your Photoshop shortcuts on Mode A and other shortcut sets on B and C. I use Photoshop keyboard shortcuts a lot, and have several Photoshop actions I've assigned to keys. I've programmed the keys of this pad to enlarge/reduce my brush size and hardness, create an overlay layer, reset the tool I'm using, change to RGB, change to CMYK, fill with foreground color/background color and other shortcuts which used to require I let go of my mouse and press (for instance) shift-close bracket or Alt-Backspace. This speeds me up and reduces the chance of my getting a repetitive stress injury.
That is why I have to gie it a "Meh" for a rateing. From the box it hookes up easy, programs like a charm, then. I use it because I have it, but mabey a nostormos would have been better. Most my program keys worked just fine, but for some reason on both my xp and vista machine it would not let me trun right "D" key. Macros are iffy to execute and looping is questionable at best. I play a lot of PVP games.I havent given up on it, and it wasnt a total waste of money, but it did not replace (as I hoped it would my "merc Zboard". I wont buy another one, even at a yard sale.
