Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a professional photographer, & graphic designer. I recently purchased the Nulooq Navigator and really hoped to use it as my new control set. The Nulooq is a toy of a device, it is fun. it acts like a limited use joystick. On a PC you can program the nulooq to perform 7 different functions. 5 buttons, and two twist dials. The Tool dial software was only created for the Macintosh, and has been discontinued during version 1. The tool dial software will never be created, or released for the PC says a customer service rep. It seems like Logitech is regretting this device and is going to phase it out.The lack of this interface severely takes away from any usefulness this device might have had. Material wise it is built well, and feels sturdy. It weighs in at about a pound so that it's not so easy to push the device around your desk while your working on it. In regard to performance speed. If you use any products from NIK software, then you can forget using the nulooq as it errors out and disconnects when you try and use NIK filters and the Nulooq. The top dial is easy to use, but jumps around quite a bit. I try to increase the size of the brush, and I just sit and twist my finger around this disk, like an I pod, but it is nowhere near the quality of a ipod, nor as accurate. The device is not saving me time, as limited as it is I can not use it. Keyboard shortcuts are the only way to go. If your not a power user, or not doing this professionally, or are new to photoshop, then the tooldial could be for you. If you are a MAC user the tool dial is better then it is on a PC due to the tooldial software. $64.00 is a pretty good price for what this thing does, I would have tried to market it for under $50.00. Last thing, the Nulooq driver disconnects often, and you either need to restart your computer, photoshop, or hot swap the USB connector, then relaunch photoshop.
This device is OK. It's fun. Not for pro's, I gave mine to the dog to chew on. For $64 the dog is getting some good use out of the device.
I don't own a commision based web site, or a magazine, that force me to be kind. You can read all the good reviews you want, but after you buy, you'll be sad.

It's not a mouse, but it could be your mouse´s best friend! NuLOOQ navigator is an innovative stationary control device, about the size of a half a tennis ball but weighs in at a solid 1 lb. Built into the device are a multi-dimensional ring, called the navring for simultaneous 360 degree pan and zoom and a touch sensitive circular disk, called the tooltuner for fine precision control.
Put your other hand to good use; NuLOOQ navigator gives you a powerful new way to interact with your application. Design, create, edit or just navigate — put the fun back on your desktop! The NuLOOQ navigator boldly goes where no device has gone before: to the other hand
Adjust brush size in one pixel increments in Adobe Photoshop CS2 without ever moving a slider or clicking on a shortcut key
Fine-tune font attributes such as leading, tracking and more in Adobe InDesign CS2 without using the option bar
