Does anybody know if these are anygood? (Griffin Powermate)

Are they worth the money?

What do you guys use them for? I am looking to use it with video editing applications, but am wondering if it really going to be of use?

I love mine. I use it a lot in iMovie for scrubbing and cutting clips, plus it looks nice. It's also very configurable. Definitely worth the money, I'd say.

Its also good to use with the Unsanity app, CeePeeYou. This app usually displays your macs CPU usage as a percentage in the menu bar. But can also show CPU load on a griffin powermate, by varying the pulserate of the light at its base. Sounds naff, but looks far more impressive in person.
