OK
So i've had the powermate, and the SN.
I can honestly say this ugly little device blows them all away.
1) Reliable drivers.
2) Easy to configure (less than 10 mins, this thing is made for rr)
I have it working exactly the way I want.
Nudge up = Phoco
Nudge Down=Audio
Nudge Right = Main menu
Nudge left = GPS
Scroll wheel scrolls tracks, while the buttons are enter, and enable the playlist to be browsed.
Survives hibernate...
It's not as unforgiving as the PM, and the SN is just too damn sensitive, with a steep learning curve.
However it _IS_ ugly but replaces the SN hole perfectly. Just dbl sided taped it's heavy *** down.
ONE MORE THING
painting doesnt affect the nav ring...
its now titan silver
