All buttons have presets, but every button can be custom-assigned a keyboard shortcut using the Contour application, which I’ll get to a little later in this review. The ShuttlePRO v2 (MSRP: $109.95) has 15 programmable buttons, jog wheel, and spring-loaded Shuttle ring.

(Basically, it supports any software that uses keyboard shortcuts - for instance, just now, I idly twisted one of the wheels and the cursor started moving in my word processing program. And, since the Shuttle has been around since forever, it supports virtually all the software we use on a daily basis. The Shuttle is specifically designed for multimedia content creation – editing video, audio, and images. This isn’t really a keyboard replacement, rather, it is designed to minimize the number of times your hands need to jump to the keyboard. The basic idea behind the Shuttle is to make audio and video editing more efficient by combining a jog wheel and a spring-loaded shuttle ring, both of which are programmable, with buttons linked to essential keyboard shortcuts, so that your hands stays in one spot, with easy access to the keys you need the most.

So, earlier this month, Matt loaned me a brand-new ShuttlePRO v2 and ShuttleXpress to review.

It’s been a while since I wrote about the Shuttle Pro from Contour Design – So, when Matt Ouellette, Account Manager for the Shuttle, asked if I wanted to take a look at their latest version – the V2 – I said “Yes!” immediately.
