Shuttle wheel not great.
Written by JW from Maynard
Jan 27, 2008
I find that it's easier to use the scroll wheel on the mouse or the arrow keys rather than the shuttle wheel when I need to move a frame at a time.
Also, the shuttle wheel is where the arrow keys would normally be and I find this inconvenient. I use this keyboard for all types of applications and need the arrow keys to be bigger and more conveniently placed. I also do my editing at home, and the "neo-lite" isn't something I really need. If I worked all day in a really dark studio, I suppose it would be great.
Also, because of the strangely-shaped black plastic surrounding the keyboard, it limits your ability to use a foam wrist-pad and I've got carpal tunnel issues.
This is a great keyboard, but not well-suited for my needs. I wish I'd purchased the "Advantage Series 2.0" instead. …More94 of 125 people found this useful

Bella Pro Series Video Editing Keyboard 3.0 FCP
A little pricey but worth it
Written by JR from Austin
Apr 12, 2008
I bought this keyboard several years ago (could be version 2.0) while I was working on a documentary. I knew Final Cut, but not well enough to be proficient with the hot keys. This keyboard allowed me to look down and not only assign a color to a function, but a letter as well. Granted it was all preassigned, but since I knew nothing, that was even better for me.
The only "cons" it has, is that the scroll wheel doesn't register with some applications when you move it too fast. Also, I could never get some of the buttons to format properly. I ended up having to remember that "mute" was "eject."
But you can configure the buttons at the top to do whatever you want. If you can handle the price, have a need to learn the hot keys quickly, are willing to be a little flexible with slightly less that ultimate perfection, then I'm sure you will enjoy this keyboard as much as I have. …More66 of 74 people found this useful

Shuttle wheel

The shuttle wheel works great for controlling a tape deck. I do not use it for time line or clip control.
