I always wanted one, but here I cannot test it, so I skipped. Is is really that good?

It's very customizable to fit anybody's hand size, with interchangeable parts like for the thumb rest and others. Look for reviews on Youtube, there are plenty.
I've been using it for about 3 years now, and I have nothing to complain about. I got used to the horizontal scroll wheel quickly, and I miss it, whenever I'm using another station.
The buttons are overkill, and I don't use any of them, but you can even assign macros to them, if you're that kind of guy.

If you're tempted, I'd say go for it.

I just use an old Logitech with left-right wheel tilt, which scrolls left or right at a preset speed. Works great for my needs.

ShuttlePro2 is awesome! I've had one for over 5 years and still use it heavily.

I keep a trackpad just to the right of my trackball. If I want to scroll I move my hand over to the pad and swipe with two fingers left or right, up or down. It's the fastest, most ergonomic solution I've found.

That's all I use the trackpad for, just scrolling, nothing else.
