![]() They are solid and should withstand normal – and probably above-normal – use and abuse. They are extremely conducive to muscle memory and letting you fly around the panel without having to look at it (once you’ve got it memorized). These panels are precisely what I was hoping they’d be. Unlike my two other surfaces, which have small buttons piled up on each other, the industrial design of the Element does not suffer from that fate. The other thing I quickly figured out – the buttons are big enough that I could develop muscle memory very very easily. This way I could hit the button I wanted without ever looking at that panel and my head stopped swiveling like I was watching a tennis match. To become efficient with this layout – I memorized the Buttons panel first. Lather, rinse, repeat and repeat and repeat. And that means lots of looking to my left (press a button) then looking to my right (twirl a knob). In Resolve, the Buttons panel is used to quickly pull up the proper controls on the Knobs panel. Rather than both my hands working right on top of each other I was in a more spread posture which did feel more comfortable.īut there’s an inefficiency with this setup. I felt like my body opened up in this configuration. Otherwise I found myself reaching across my body in one direction but looking the opposite way, which quickly got me tied up and was uncomfortable. As I’m reaching to twirl a knob, the display is in the direct path of my body movement and I can see the UI update as the knob was moved. I placed the Knobs panel (far right on the picture above) directly underneath the computer display for the Resolve interface. Rather than spending the full $3500US for the entire set, you can buy the trackballs panel for half that price and add the remaining over time as your budget allows. The Element is actually made up of 4 smaller panels, which can be bought independently and put together with a mix-and-match mentality. The modular design of the Element deserves special mention.
