Bella Pro Series 3.0 Keyboard

I have one for premier, it's not a bad product. I wish the jog wheel was a little bigger, the center is used to scroll frame by frame, but the turning radius is kind of small. Honestly I find it faster just to use the J,K,L and I,O keyboard shortcuts (same in FCP as Premier)

The CPU has to be pretty fast. On my old system 1.7ghz P4 it was just too slow to process the commands spit out by the controller fast enough. But my new systems, Core2duo and quadcore, are pretty snappy with it.

If you don't have alot of desk space, I'd say it's probably a good choice. If you have plenty of room and want a more responsive product, I'd consider a separate controller. I hear JL Cooper makes some nice products, but I haven't tried them personally.
 
I think I'll go ahead and order one. I like the idea of it all being on one piece of hardware and the light is a real draw because sometimes I work late and I don't like using a desk lamp because it reflects onto the monitor a bit.

I am using a MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM. It should run fine I would think.
