nostromo n52 - been using it for about 4 years alongside a cintiq. I couldn't do without it.

I'm starting to use this guy: http://www.n52te.com/
I've not yet been able to fully integrate it into my process, but I hope to give it some attention in the near future.

I asked around when considering using one and from what I've gathered. artists tend to really love it or hate it. So I'm guessing it has a lot to do with how people work.

The real challenge for me at this point, is deciding which actions to use, and which of the 3 modes will store them. For me, it will take some iteration to get it to a point where I won't need a keyboard as much... Hopefully in time, it will have been.

that's some serious kit doc rob. [ EDIT : ] shit. both of you guys. nice. personally i'm looking for the dirtiest cheap and minimal solution i can find but if i could spring the cash for something like that i'd feel pretty fancy

I have an ergodex, got it almost a year ago, set it up, was trying to get use to it but it was crunch time and I forgot about it for a long time. hope now that I have time I will set it back up and start using it because i always think how much nicer it would be to have it set up.
