Can anyone compare the trackball performance of the Artist Color to a Kennsington Expert Mouse in terms of smoothness. I've been using the Expert Mouse for quite a while and I find once I get it initially started in moving hue offsets it's a tolerable precision, more so than I found with my wacom table on the hue offsets. There always seems to be an initial bump when dragging with the expert mouse track ball. It kind of felt similar on the artist color last night but I only had a short time and I was judging mostly by watching the cross hairs move in the hue offset windows because there was no external scope or proper reference monitoring for the demo machine. I'm not trying to be negative as I really want this panel to work and I love anything that gives me a more tactile feel. I suppose in time the knob sensitivity would just become muscle memory but it would be great to have a preference to set the knobs to something like an absolute feel just like a TBC knob.

I have heard others who are happy, but they may not have anything to compare to so lagging and jumpy behavior may seem normal to them. Or it could be there is something wrong with all of my systems, but I doubt it. :-(

I don't like it with a mouse (I had to install a little third-party application on my iMac a few years back, because Apple thought they knew better, and didn't give people the option to turn acceleration off), and I'm fairly certain I wouldn't like it on CC wheels.
