Digital camera reviews of Griffin 1100-PWRMTS PowerMate/USB Multimedia Controller and Input Device
Digital camera Review: A useful device marred by poor documentation
Summary: 4 Stars
The Griffin PowerMate is a nicely-machined, smoothly operating device that can be of significant value when listening to or viewing media or operating devices attached to the computer. Movement of the knob is silky smooth and the non-slip material on the base keeps it in place on the desk.
The biggest downside of the PowerMate is the scanty documentation. The software is quite easy to use although it lacks elegance, as though it were version 1.0 right out of the door (which it is not) but the poor quality manual leaves the user scrambling to sort out how to program it for various applications. Once you figure it out, however, the device works like a charm. I use it with a Flex Radio 5000a transceiver and it greatly simplifies and speeds operation.
Pros:
Build quality
Smoothness of operation
Versatility
Cons:
USB cord is too short and can be lengthened only with an extension cable.
Software is relatively unsophisticated with respect to device command editing.
Documentation is telegraphically brief and can lead the user to resort to lots of trials-and-errors.
In summary, a very attractive, handy, and useful device that can reduce keystrokes and mouse clicks. Recommended.
