I cant find any info on this anywhere and since i use CS5 i figured I ask the question here.

what would be the advantage to having a Editing surface control like a soundboard or something called shuttlePRO v2 - NLE Multimedia Controller.

Thank you

I think most people prefer working with the keyboard since you can do most of your NLE work with simple keystrokes. I'm not good at remembering all of the key strokes, so I work mostly with the mouse, and having the ShuttlePro gives my left hand something to do. LOL It does make life a little easier when going back and forth between frames or quick FFWD and RWD moves. And the one I have works with all of Adobe's products and even a bunch of MS products.

That makes sense I will most likely pick one up. that only leaves one question what would having a mini sound board like the "B-CONTROL FADER BCF2000"
