First off, I am older, so switching is difficult for me. I am extremely comfortable with a trackball, but arthritis is making it more difficult, so thought I would try this.Pro -If you FORCE yourself to use it, it does the job and it does make things easierCon- its only good if you get comfortable tapping for macros and shortcuts, so for younger people I can see you cutting editing time way downPro- once you get used to it, it is pretty simpleCon- not very intuitive out the boxBottom line, it is a good tool, but like anything else, you have to pout the work into using it.The main reason I bought it, the upgrade to Studio one 7 pro was $150, this was $209, so using musician math, it only cost me $50
