Could be handy, erm.. footy ;)  seems well made (on paper). Pity one has 
to register to download a manual for checking it out..

 From the FAQ; note it's not a MIDI thingy:


Can I use the pok to send MIDI commands to the DAW?

No. The pok is not a MIDI device.
        

I changed my DAW's keyboard shortcut commands from the original 
defaults. Will the pok work with my custom commands?

Yes. You can create or edit pok profiles to suit your needs. Using pok 
Editor, you can easily edit and save your custom shortcuts to your 
workstation, and write them to pok memory.
        

I have more than one DAW, each one using a different host application. 
Can I use the same pok on the different DAWs?

Yes, you can use the same pok. However, you may need to load a different 
profile for the different DAWs, to match the keyboard commands to your 
host applications.

You can install the pok Editor software on your DAWs, run pok Editor to 
load the appropriate profile and write it to the pok before using the 
pok with the host application.
