Looks Cool, has some WinXP Driver Problems
Although the PowerMate looks cool, it was designed for equally-coolApple computers. There are some driver problems in WinXP where the PowerMate works only intermittently--it will randomly stop responding, and will only resume operation if the USB cable is unplugged/replugged.

When it works, it does what it should. If you are a WinXP user however, you can't rely on it actually working.

Worth it for scrolling alone
Very cool, Very handy, Very nice design.

I love it. Scrolling is superb but also use it for other tasks in all apps. Like changing the brush size in Photoshop while painting with my Wacom tablet.

You "get it" or you don't "get it"
So many people are probably baffled by this device. They think it is just a knob that does nothing but look cool, but these people are WRONG. You can do so much with this device. It has per-application settings, so you can have one setting for iMovie and another setting for the Finder, etc... You can have this device alter your sound volume, scrub through movies, perform commands. For example, you navigate through your iTunes library. The software is so open-ended, you can have a click simulate a key combo. The software even distinguishes between click and "long click."

It's Good if you don't have Wacom tablet in Windows.
I have a Wacom Tablet and just bought a powermate w/ the last drivers.It worked perfect with windows xp until i restart my computer.the powermate didn't work and i have to unplug and replug wacom to make powermate work.
Need a solution!

Perfect companion to Final Cut Pro and Avid
At first, I balked at the price of this thing ---- $100??? for an editing wheel???

However, through an Apple promotion, I managed to get one for a discounted price, and now I'm kicking myself for not purchasing one earlier

If you're a Final Cut Pro, Avid, or iMovie editor, then you're really gonna love this device! Its especially useful for cataloguing a footage ---- on mine, I have set the buttons to mark 'ins' and 'outs', as well as 'markers'

Most importantly, I have found this wheel to make my editing much more productive and time efficient, as so many controls are now at finger tips, instead of having to have my mouse be dragged over everywhere

For serious FCP/Avid editors, I really recommend this device! After using it, the price just can't be beat! ... Read more

Product Description

Now you can use your mouse for what it's good at and use a control surface for what it's good at: hands-on mixing with lots of real faders, knobs & buttons. The TASCAM US-2400 is the first DAW fader controller with enough faders to handle a typical recording session - and feel like a real mixing console - without lots of bank switching. The US-2400 features 25 touch-sensitive moving channel faders and a touch-sensitive motorized master fader,each with 10-bit resolution for precise level control.Each channel has dedicated select, solo and mute controls. Twenty-four rotary encoders are provided, selectable to control pan or up to 8 aux sends. Plus, all 24 encoders can also be employed as one large channel strip for four-band EQ, aux and pan control. Each encoder has a ring of LEDs that can display the current setting or double as channel meters during recording and playback. A set of solid-feeling transport buttons are also provided, as well as a shuttle wheel and a joystick for surround panning. Compare it to any other controller on the market today (and the extra expanders you'd have to buy to get 24 motorized faders) and you'll discover that the US-2400 gives you more control for the money. ...
