Something that has always bothered me about many other programmable accessories is the lack of tactile feel of the buttons. The original Saitek PC DASH had NO feel at all, but a beep when you hit them. A bit of a problem when one wears headphones. Four buttons under your thumb, two under your index finger, and one each for every other finger gives you nine buttons to program. The Claw is capable of holding 2 programs at once, interchangeable by a switch on the bottom.
Programming is frighteningly easy.
Flip a switch on the bottom of The Claw, push a button, push the corresponding keyboard command done. You can also program up to 5 keystrokes per button push for more complex commands. These are not sequential commands, but combination strokes. When you use the modifier you can get more flexibility. When you program a modifier button, this changes all multi command buttons programmed on The Claw.
