Midi Controller Thoughts.... :)

Although this controller is primarily made for DJ's (and looks like toy), as an inexpnsive controller, it also might be useful to use in Sonar. Supposedly, the reviews say it's built really well, but the software that comes with it isn't very good. It looks like it might be fun to use as well.........more importantly, I like the fact that:
 
"powerful wireless control—Orbit is 100% MIDI-customizable, able to go as far as your imagination and creativity will take it. Wirelessly manipulate effects, launch samples and hot cues, control software, trigger lighting, and more. View Larger View Larger Mix with Motion Orbit’s embedded MIDI-assignable accelerometer makes your mix follow your motion. Assign any two volume, effect, or filter parameters to Orbit’s shoulder triggers and hang on for the ride."
 

Features

  • Wireless handheld MIDI controller
  • Use with included Orbit DJ software, or customize it for use with any software that accepts MIDI messages
  • 2.4 GHz ultra-low-latency wireless performance control up to 100 feet
  • 16 backlit pads, 4 selectable banks, 4 virtual knobs per bank
  • Internal 2-axis accelerometer for instant motion control via 2 shoulder trigger controls
  • Use handheld, strapped to belt or body or hung around neck, control audio, lighting, mixing and more!
  • Rechargeable lithium-ion battery

    I recently have given a load of thought to the Orbit. I'm no DJ, but what it has seems pretty sweet! Admittedly though, there are more features I'm digging for in a MIDI controller (about to make my purchase soon) and the Orbit doesn't hit enough of the checkpoints, haha
    Do tell how it works for you!
