#CONTOUR SHUTTLE PRO V2 NOT WORKING INSIDE LIGHTROOM 6 SOFTWARE#

And yes, I don't think the website says so directly, but each iteration of the software I've used still works on the V1 (I've replaced it with the V2 just recently). Everything is there as you expect you can program the buttons and wheel/knob to your heart's content and now, there are programmable macros you can customize! This actually gives the gadget way more potential than I need (no, I have found no need for the macros), but it's certainly nice to know Contour is still working on this guy and moving forward. I hope it keeps supporting the V2 even when a V3 comes out. Contour keeps developing the software end and it's becoming better and better. Since the original/V1, there hasn't been much development in the hardware department and I'm completely alright with that (other than fit and finish, I don't see a real necessity). I've become so attached to this thing that I installed the software on/moved settings to my laptop and brought the ShuttlePRO along for the last trip. You really become spoiled after using this gadget for a while. or shortcut keys that are all over the place in Lightroom). laptop on the road), I actually get a bit irritated having to find keys or having to lift my left hand from one side of the keyboard to the other (like hitting the keys for brush sizes or control + m for curves. It makes things fast, accessible, and much more enjoyable. I use this mostly with a mouse or a Wacom Cintiq (Intuos and the like will be similar) and I rarely use the keyboard. metal issue isn't a real noticeable one). Just a note that the V2 has three dimples on the metal dial while the original version has one only and it's plastic (it can be easily remedied by adding a couple of button like stickers on it and also, the plastic vs. In software like photoshop/lightroom, the wheel/dial works great for brush size adjustments but of course, the application is absolutely up to you using their very customizable software. This with the dial is perfect for video/time based software for scrubbing, which singleha ndedly makes this indispensable (gaming keypads might have mouse like wheels but lack this). The ShuttlePRO spring loaded wheel has 7 increments in each direction and works well (the throw might be too much though as it's a whole lot of turning to get to the 7th step either way). Some products like the Griffin Powermate Knob is at a huge disadvantage in this department (although it feels and looks more premium). The large assortment of buttons is surely a must and the V2 has 15 (the V1/original is just two buttons short, the buttons at the sides of the wheel).

Although the ShuttlePRO V2 has its shortcomings, I find it to still be the best product available at the moment. I've tried quite a few different peripherals to increase productivity (and enjoyment!) when working in graphics design.
