I's looking good! Best would be some kind of translation of the Blackmagic controls to Vmix. This way we could use all of the panels made for ATEM, no?

Actually I don't know anyone that would buy this for ATEM with this new product shipping. Almost all the external panels for ATEM will refocus now on vMix will be my guess.

ATEM Television Studio Pro HD

This one is also very nice for vMix

I really don't feel like it's interesting to work with such control panels with vMix. This traditional design with DSKs is really not optimized for vMix, and most of the buttons are useless or inadequate for taking advantage of vMix features.

I understand this can be self-comforting for an old-school director/operator (which I used to be) used to broadcast switching equipments and workflows but compared to what can be done with a cheap midi controller and vMix I really don't think it's worth the money or the efforts.

Imho such equipments limit drastically vMix potential and even more important they prevent from understanding vMix potential.

As a comparison, here's what can be done with a $70 Akai Mini: https://forums.vmix.com/....aspx?g=posts&t=9765
No way for me to go back!
