The problem with any of the shuttle knobs or keyboards with integral shuttle control is the need for software support. Most of these devices operate by emulating a mouse wheel (the scroll wheel) and it is not easy to use the external "knob" to tune while reading e-mail or surfing the web.
It would be handy if logging/control programs (e.g., CI-V Commander from DXLab Suite) could "capture" a specific device like the Griffin Power Mate or Contour Shuttle Express/Shuttle Pro for exclusive use and operate in the background. The shuttle knobs are not so much a problem with contest software like N1MM Logger since that's not likely to be used in the background ... but the same considerations would apply if they were. 73, ...
