Interesting

I've been looking for a control panel for photoshop for a while but I haven't come across anything that looks good yet.

In the end I settled on a Razer gamepad which looks like something that should be sitting on a teenage boys desk but has sped up my workflow a good deal. All the functions he uses on the video I have mapped to their own key on the gamepad and a bunch more options beside. The gamepad is a much preferable option to that control surface because it's designed to cradle you hand and have your fingers resting on the keys which are logically placed. With a control surface like that I can imagine you would have to be looking down from your work to find the buttons you need whereas on the gamepad my fingers know where everything is. The whole reason I moved away from keyboard shortcuts to the gamepad was because I don't want to have to look down to, for example, find ctrl+). I often find it quite difficult to re orientate myself if I have to look away from the screen so that was the key thing for me.
