![]() For example, opening/closing/switching tabs in Chrome, jumping to the search box etc. Setting up specific settings for every single app you use is a pain, but once it's done it's done. Blame Microsoft for that, but I'm sure there is a workaround and I don't see any movement from Contour on fixing it. UWP apps (mostly things you download from the MS store) use a wrapper process that the software can't detect on a per-app basis. exe executable file which the Contour software needs to be pointed at. The application detection works fine for most things, but with newer (and stupid) UWP apps you can expect some issues as they don't have a standalone. The software however is very old and I'm concerned by the lack of updates it receives. ![]() There's also a collar around the wheel you can grab and rotate - again it moves in quite large steps but you can bind a specific action to each step of this movement which is useful. It would be nice if it was a little more responsive (you have to turn it quite a way to register a movement) but I appreciate that this limitation is more because it would react to things too fast with the default Windows setup and not a design issue with the device itself. Spinning it round to scroll up/down or zoom in/out never gets old. ![]() It costs 50% more than the Xpress but the quality is 2-3x as good. The extra number of buttons is great (you can put a small included printed icon under each one to highlight the function, but as each app can have different functions I wouldn't bother), they feel tactile and have a satisfying click and the middle wheel is actual, proper metal (shock horror) and feels heavy and is lovely to rotate with a finger. If you're on the fence about which to get, go for this one. Eventually I upgraded to the ShuttlePro v2 and it's a big increase in quality over the plasticky Xpress. It takes a while to adjust and adapt your workflow to new things but once you have them setup it's very efficient.
