Keyboard control surface?

Is anyone using the HOTKEY MATRIX - keyboard Control Surface for Pro Tools? It is a shortcut USB key board made for PT. I am considering it, but am not sure if anything in voice over will conflict with the short cut functions. Here it is, http://dnamusiclabs.com/hotkey-matrix Nate Kile, Cros

I have to say, there's nothing really there that can't be done with standard keyboard shortcuts. Yes, that might sound attractive to people who aren't used to remembering modifier combinations but, in general, I think screen reader users are used to such memorization. I don't know, to me it seem

I know a ton of sighted PT dabblers that would love this, but can't really see how it'd be worth its price tag for a screen reader user.
