Logitech G13 as controller for Sony Vegas?

[Jeff Schroeder]

Not me… yet! I am tempted to pick one up and see what it can do. I had a maxi-switch keyboard 20 years ago and it was the handiest thing I ever owned. I’m going to read the manual and maybe take a chance on it.

Sadly, the little joystick on the G13 emits keypresses, not an analogish value, but you can use it for the jog controls (J, K, & L).

Which I’m doing. Works fine (why wouldn’t it?). The big advantage is mapping two logical keys on the edge of the G13 as “CTRL+HOME” and “CTRL+END”. That’s nice. There’s seven keys in that row (G8>>G14), so I have:

JUMP>START/(blank)/JOG BACK/JOG PAUSE/JOG FORWARD/(blank)/JUMP>END

All in one row. No doubt I’ll figure out uses for the blanks soon.

I use my G13 with LightWave a lot, at least in Modeler. It’s a very nice addition. It can also memorize sequences of keypress, not just individual keypresses, so that has possibilities too.
