While the PowerMate’s brushed aluminum finish and pulsing blue LED give it an additional cool-factor advantage, the ShuttleXpress wins out in usability. The PowerMate is a strange gadget: consisting of a rotating knob and a push-button, it can be programmed to do almost anything with any application. In my review here last year (see "Unleashing the Power of the PowerMate" in TidBITS-653), I said, "It will most likely remain by my keyboard for a very long time." Alas, that time is shorter than I had expected, for I have found something even better: the Contour Design ShuttleXpress. When I bought one of Griffin Technology’s PowerMates, I thought it was the cat’s pajamas.
