At slower speeds the ball is plenty accurate enough for music production tasks and, like most trackballs, it's a godsend to be able to click on a critical selection without the risk of inadvertently nudging the cursor.
This provides you with the necessary gearing to fling your cursor across a large screen with just a quick spin of your fingers. Unlike similar products that boast less impressive balls, Kensington's range-topper features a big weighty red 'un that's approaching the size of a billiard ball. It may only have a resolution of 400 dpi, but don't let that fool you, the Expert Mouse Wireless Trackball can show an impressive turn of speed when you need it. Horizontal scrolling requires modifier button For those of you constantly on the move, Contour also makes the smaller, less expensive and admittedly slightly less capable Shuttle Xpress.
The buttons are fully customisable, but it ships with pre-configured settings for most popular DAWs and video editing software too, making it ideal for music producers and creators.īuilt quality is excellent, it's weighty enough to stay put during use and the footprint is manageable for most desks. Working precisely with your non-dominant hand takes time but once mastered you'll benefit from a huge boost in efficiency. It comprises a shuttle/jog wheel combo for fast/slow track scrolling, and fifteen programmable buttons to fire off shortcuts and macros.Įssentially, this clever little device enables you to navigate (and much more) with your free hand while continuing to do mousey editing-type stuff with the other. The Shuttle Pro V2 is best described as a mouse companion that's worked with your free hand – the left hand, if you're right-handed. Alternatively, invest in both this and a new programable mouse and you'll enjoy a real powerhouse of a setup.
However, it deserves a place in this guide because it's kinda mouse-like, and it may be a more sensible buy than replacing your existing mouse. Okay, well spotted, the Shuttle Pro V2 is not a mouse.
