[CQ-Contest] "shuttle jog" devices for rig control

[Alfred Frugoli]

Hello everyone,

I'm considering a "shuttle jog" device to use with Writelog and my K3 so I
can put the most used rig controls closer to the keyboard (tuning dial,
filter settings, etc).  I see 3 different devices all in the $40-$50 range::

Griffin PowerMate <http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powermate/> -
would simply be for tuning - it's a 1 function device, but it looks pretty
cool.
Contour Shuttle Xpress <http://retail.contourdesign.com/?/products/22> - (or
Pro for about 2x the price and 3x the extra buttons) could control tuning
and potentially other settings available through computer control.
Logitech NuLOOQ<http://www.starsurplus.com/viewitem.lasso?i=965162-0403-BULK-R>-
again, seems to be a 1 function device that would be only for tuning

Has anybody had experience with any of these (or other) devices for adding a
remote tuning and other rig control functions?
