Hi all,
I'm looking to buy a custom keyboard to go along with the copy of Avid Xpress DV that I just ordered. I know that I definitely want something with actual keys, not stickers. I seem to always see the Logic brand (that's what most of the equipment dealers seem to stock). I figure the cheapest route is to just buy the "keycaps" from Logic for my current keyboard (a standard G4-style apple pro),

but I've also seen this thing on sale from Bella.

I've never heard anything good about all the so-called shuttle devices for non-linear editing, but I haven't really heard anythign scathing either. I've been using various NL systems for a long time, and I've never really seen the need for one. But who knows what I could be missing!
So my questions are:
1. What would you get?
Logic Keycaps for $50
or
Logic Keycaps with a separate shuttle controller device (another $40-$90)
or
Bella Shuttle Keyboard for $99?
2. Do you or have you used some kind of shuttle device with your NL system and do you like it?
