One trick you can do with something like the Contour Shuttle Pro.

In LCedit+, the "V" key takes you to the intensity control of the 
selected fixture(s).  The up/down arrows take the values +/- one.  So, 
if you set the shuttle wheel to press "V" and then up arrow for 
clockwise and down arrow for counter-clockwise, it gives you a rotary 
control for whatever fixtures you have selected.  Then for the other 
values (as you turn the wheel further) to send repeated arrow presses, 
increasing as the wheel is turned.

With this method, you can just click on a fixture (or fixtures) on the 
stage and then just start turning the wheel on the Contour to adjust the 
levels.
