Shuttle Pro and Graphic Tablet………what are the best choices??
This question is probably best suited for Gary Kleiner, but anyone who uses a Contour Shuttle Pro and a Graphic’s Tablet, what are the best ones to get? I’m in the market for a new mouse and graphic tablet, and would love to hear from users that use them. Some makes and models would be a great place to start my research……….if any are particularily good with Vegas 5.0, I’d love to know about them. Thanks in advance, for any, and all advice! Oh, also retail outlets or on-line sites would help, no one anywhere near me carries this stuff, so I’m looking for a quality retailer that provides good service as well.

Would also like to know the answer to this question.
Would like to try Graphic Tablet as an option, as left elbow and shoulder are getting sore.
Use Shuttle Pro it’s a good tool. -
use wacom 6 x 8, but think a 4 x 5 (?) would have been a better choice for editing – especially using dual monitors. too much movement….
am thinking of shuttle pro to, but have some reservations – having got used to no control panel (after years of linear editing), i’m quite happy with jkl – but am willing to be convertued….

I use a Bella DV Vegas Keyboard that has the jog/shuttle built in. I have the Contour Pro and Shuttle, but prefer the Bella as it keeps me from having to reach away from the keyboard to jog/shuttle. I use the jog more than anything else, as I typically perfer J K L keys for my shuttling, and I have it set to highest speed in preferences.
I also use a Wacom tablet and absolutely love it. I have a 12×9 that makes me superfast. The biggest adjustment for me is the lack of a center mouse-wheel which is so greatly utilized in Vegas. For going portable, I have a small Wacom Graphire 4×5 and wish I had spent the $$ for a bigger one. 4×5 is too small and makes my wrist and hand ache after a couple of hour’s use. The larger tablet, once you get used to it, easier it is to be more acurate with the pen, thus enabling you to work considerably faster than with a mouse. (At least — it does so for me). Vegas lacks a long way being a fully keboard driver app, so the Wacom tablet has been a huge improvement in my speed and ease of use. Just keep in mind, there is a large learning curve of getting used to a pen. If you can force yourself through it, it is definitely worth it.
