## Description

Manufacturer's Description               USB Multimedia Controller & Input Device PowerMate is the coolest volume knob your computer has ever seen  and so much more. Use it to edit home movies or scroll through long documents and web pages. Best of all, PowerMate is an assignable controller. Program it to do anything you want in any application. Customize it to your own needs and get wild. Made of high-quality machined aluminum, PowerMate feels like a solid volume knob pulled right off the front of a world-class stereo. Its heavy weight and tactile feel are a welcome departure from typical plastic USB peripherals. PowerMate functions beautifully as a convenient volume knob and mute button for music listening on your PC or Mac. But thats just the beginning of PowerMates possibilities. Edit movies just like the pros with PowerMate functioning as your very own Jog/Shuttle wheel. Spin PowerMate to scroll through footage and push the integrated button to edit points or cut out unwanted pieces. PowerMate makes editing home movies a breeze and it comes preset to work with iMovie and FinalCut Pro right out of the box. But the real power of PowerMate is that its programmable. Program PowerMate to scroll through long Microsoft Word files and save your document when you push its button. Set PowerMate to scrub through songs in sequencers and music apps. PowerMate can be programmed to do any key command  in any application. Save as many unique settings as you want, PowerMate will remember them all.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool
*by W***S on 1 February 2009*

I use my Griffin Powermate with an Intel Mac, both under OSX Leopard and Windows XP.It is a quick and easy way to control your volume, scrolling or pretty much anything else you can access using key commands.For me, its a volume control, as I use active speakers and its far cheaper than buying an analogue device to go in the physical signal chain, such as the Mackie Big Nob.Hope this is of some use to someone!

### ⭐⭐ Not as useful as you'd think...
*by R***N on 21 May 2008*

I had high hopes for the Powermate, but it's nowhere near as useful as you'd think. The push down action action is too stiff to use repeatedly, and without any buttons you can't do much with it. After about 30 minutes, I found myself ignoring it for all but scrolling in a web browser. What's worse, the top came loose, and a new Dell PC at work could not wake up the Powermate when plugged into most of its USB ports.The Powermate has its uses, and may prove very desirable as a novelty controller, but the Contour Design ShuttleXpress Controller USB Mac/PC Black is a much better idea. With five buttons and two jog/shuttle dials, it's far more practical as it can operate a whole range of shortcuts for you. The configuration software is better, and it has been perfectly reliable in operation. The Shuttle Xpress is much better value, and a genuinely useful device.

### ⭐ Seriously flawed
*by C***C on 4 December 2008*

The sensitivity control does nothing, the Help button on the control panel ditto. No reply to an email to Griffin customer support.Buy a different product. I should have spent a bit more and bought the ShuttlePro 2. As my old granddad used to say, buy cheap buy twice :-((((((Disappointed that I couldn't give it zero!
