PowerMate, USB Multimedia Controller, Windows / Mac OS, 560 mm cable lenght
<b>PowerMate is the quintessential control knob for all USB computers.
It spins like a knob. It clicks like a mouse. But it's so much more.</b>
You can use PowerMate to edit home movies, or scroll through long documents, or create your next audio masterpiece. How can PowerMate be this cool? Because it's an assignable controller that you can program to do anything you want, in any application.
PowerMate functions beautifully as a convenient volume knob and mute button for music listening on your PC or Mac. But that's just the beginning of PowerMate's possibilities. Edit movies just like the pros with PowerMate functioning as your very own Jog/Shuttle wheel. PowerMate makes editing a breeze, anything from home movies to your next demo. It even comes preset to work with iMovie, FinalCut Pro and GarageBand, right out of the box!
But the real power of PowerMate is its programmable driver. You can quickly and easily program it to execute any Key Command, in any application. And if you're running Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, we have software for you that supercharges your PowerMate.

The biggest change moves control of PowerMate out of your System Preferences and into the Application folder. The software is still small and nimble; we've simply made it easier and more intuitive to build command sets for all your favorite applications, including:

- GarageBand;
- Adobe Creative Suite (CS3, CS4);
- Logic;
- ProTools;
...and lots more.
<b>So what's changed?</b>
