With both of these systems, I had to add printed labels onto the keys I had programmed. Passed over my credit card and walked away with it under my arm. At the same time, a colleague walked past, saw me watching the demo and told me he’d been using one for a while and loved it.

Also, the software left much to be desired. The keys stopped responding properly after a couple of years and I wanted something more designed for creative use, rather than as an office tool which could be re-purposed. The concept was simple program often used commands and key strokes into the unit, operate it with my left hand, whilst the right hand operated the Wacom pen. This lived on the left side of my keyboard whilst a Wacom tablet lived on the right hand side. Around seven years ago, I bought a Contour Design ShuttlePRO V.2 and programmed it for use in Lightroom.

Add to this the operating of a cursor applying a brush or a cut on a timeline, and it’s very easy to start doing advanced level yoga with our fingers on a keyboard and mouse or probably even worse, trackpad. Photography, video, audio and so on, bring with them much more complex creation software, which moves us away from typing, some mouse usage or simple cut and paste shortcuts, into a myriad of easily confused and forgettable keyboard shortcuts, some involving a fair amount of finger dexterity. As creatives though, we’re using computers in much more in-depth and involved ways. Jargon that gets introduced into any conversation about working on a computer, ranging from moans about things taking too long to physically painful woes.
