Er man en flittig bruker av Adobe programmene og jobber med stort skjerm så vet man hvor slitsomt det er å skifte verktøy med mus. Det er jo natuligvis lett sak å skifte verktøy med hjelp av tastaturet, men det blir også slitsomt i lengden med å holde hånda spredd utover tastaturet lenge.

Logitech har endelig løsningen for den slags løsning og har presentert NuLOOQ Professional Series. Dessuten er det kun OS X brukere som kan nyte av den lille fantatiske maskinen for prisen 149.99 USD.

The NuLOOQ™ Professional Series addresses the time-intensive elements of design — navigating images, adjusting option values, and accessing menus — to help creative users work smarter. As a designer your focus is continually interrupted by the tasks of locating and adjusting tools as well as precisely positioning the cursor. And with today’s vast flat panel monitors and increasingly complex applications, the cursor travels farther and the keyboard works harder than ever before to complete basic tasks. The goal of NuLOOQ is simple—to provide you with a better way to work with the core applications, Adobe Photoshop® CS2, Illustrator® CS2 and InDesign® CS2, that enable you to run your design businesses successfully. NuLOOQ Pro SeriesWhat’s in the box? Two things. NuLOOQ Profesional Series is comprised of the NuLOOQ navigator™ hardware device and the NuLOOQ tooldial™ software, a customizable menu that appears on demand at the end of your cursor. Effortless navigation of creative imagery A perfect partner for your keyboard and mouse or tablet, the NuLOOQ navigator’s heavy machined billet aluminum base and highly tactile rubber navring™, give users the feel of a precision instrument. To fluidly and precisely zoom into our out of an image, gently twist the navring. To easily scroll around an image, simply nudge the navring. Forget about zooming with repeated command plus, command minus keystrokes or using two hands to navigate to the exact region of an image. All that power is now in two fingers with the NuLOOQ navigator. Precise control of option values Make adjustments to tools or objects without being distracted from the image using the tooltuner dial. Click the Static Value button at the top of the tooltuner dial to access option values for the selected tool or object. Gently gliding a finger clockwise or counterclockwise around the touch-sensitive tooltuner dial makes precise adjustments to option values. Adjustments update in real-time so you can get just the right result. NuLOOQ Pro SeriesWhen you’ve got it just right, nudge the navring to seamlessly get to another problem spot and go to work; all with a minimum of effort or without ever taking your attention from the image. It’s all about synergy We know that your alternate hand is usually very busy on the keyboard. That is why we added customizable triggerpoints™ to the tooltuner™ dial. Tap the triggerpoints to simulate commonly used keystrokes, keyboard shortcuts or even launch NuLOOQ tooldials. Professionals will always need the keyboard, but with the NuLOOQ navigator, they may need it a little less. New creative control Because the tooltuner dial allows users to adjust attributes between actions, it only made sense to allow users to adjust attributes during actions too. The Dynamic Value button allows users to adjust pressure, tilt X and tilt Y while they paint giving mouse users new levels of creative control. NuLOOQ Pro SeriesCustomize and command with tooldial With a click, the NuLOOQ tooldial appears as a circular menu under your cursor. It’s simple, customizable interface that helps focus your work style by centralizing your most frequently used tools, files and commands into one convenient place. With the NuLOOQ tooldial a selection is just 21 pixels from the end of your mouse at all times Divided (like a pizza) into 8 cells that can be filled with tools, filters, commands, files or applications, tooldial allows you to quickly customize your workflow. Drag and drop your most frequently needed items onto the NuLOOQ console to build your own custom interface. Or customize quickly with pre-configured toolsets designed for specific tasks, such as image retouching. Now you see it, now you don’t Because even the biggest screens can get cluttered with palettes and menus, we designed tooldial to be ultimately flexible. Tooldial is there when you need it and hides instantly for an uninterrupted view when you don’t—just like your existing Adobe palettes do. What sets it apart from your usual routine, is that every time you invoke tooldial it always appears directly under your cursor. Eight isn’t always enough Need more than eight cells? Click and hold on an item to open 8 more options linked to that cell. These 8 additional options, per cell, give you a total of 72 customizable cells per tooldial. You can also build up to 10 tooldials per application, allowing you to create task specific tooldials with just the right selection of tools and menu commands for the desired purpose.
