Nug, that's true, however that's not entirely the point: there are artists (like Burt Monroy) who only use Wacom's Cintiq pen display, NuLOOQ navigator and tooldial: they don't need the keyboard anymore! Everything (fav tools, menu items, etc.) can be on the tooldial, right there where they are drawing, without any other distraction.

(I swear, I saw Burt in action at PMA and that's what he does…) Everything (fav tools, menu items, etc.) can be on the tooldial, right there where they are drawing, without no need to move the hand over the keyboard or mouse.

Nearly every tool in Photoshop is already mapped to a particular key on the keyboard, not to mention the control users already have over key bindings. Nice that someone is thinking about new ways for designers to interact with their softwave environments, though.

Very cool, and at $15 bucks, you would be crazy not to try it – especially if you use Photoshop for a living. Neat concept guys!
