The reinvented, programmable controller is now shipping - new sleek look, now enhanced with Bluetooth
Nashville, Tenn. - December 12, 2014 - Griffin Technology, creator of award-winning and thoughtfully designed mobile accessories, announces availability of its PowerMate Bluetooth. Unveiled earlier this year, PowerMate Bluetooth is a wireless controller designed to replicate key commands and system events in virtually any application. Users can streamline routine tasks such as editing home movies, scrolling through long documents, or controlling audio playback.
First introduced in 2001, the original PowerMate has had substantial staying power due to its iconic design and incredibly versatile functionality. The new PowerMate Bluetooth carries on this legacy with its sleek design and recognizable blue glowing base. PowerMate Bluetooth utilizes Bluetooth LE (Low Energy / 4.0) to connect to any compatible Mac computer within a 30-foot range, eliminating messy wires for a clean, untethered look.
A new, totally redesigned PowerMate Manager application makes it quick and easy to program PowerMate for both beginners and advanced users alike. Users can add custom commands to any Mac application with a simple twist or a click. PowerMate is also a convenient volume knob and is configured to work with iTunes and other audio applications right out of the box.
With PowerMate Bluetooth users can easily streamline tasks like:
- Shuttle through music and movies
- Scroll through long documents and spreadsheets
- Pan and zoom in creative applications
- Spin and edit in DJ and music applications
- Program the LED in its base to indicate system or inbox status
- Resize and reconfigure tools and brushes in illustration and photo re-touching programs
- Use multiple PowerMate Bluetooth units and assign specific functions to each
PowerMate Bluetooth is now available for $59.99 from store.griffintechnology.com/powermate-bluetooth. Additionally, the original PowerMate is still available for $45 from store.griffintechnology.com/powermate.
