I use the arrow keys the most when mixing after the show is set up
The new touch view works ok on my Asus tablet but I still use the keys
I just mixed a show on a Soundcraft Expression using an Ipad since the mixer was at the stage and I just could not be as smooth as I want to be and the wifi dropped out twice at least unlike SAC it reconnected easy. I also work in a venue where the system is ONLY controlled with an Ipad (LS9 hidden in an office) it sucks to be quite frank.
Oh well to each his own
Moving from Large Soundcraft analogue to a keyboard and mouse (and a 8ch pack) was enough of a slow down just can't move down to an I something
Had to mix a show on a Mackie the other night and don't want to go back to analogue again either I missed the good eq and and only had 2 comp chs the band really needed more help than that and don't even get me started on the built in effects

It's good for tweaks and monitor mixes. On outdoor shows, I keep something to walk out from under the tent. Always to walk up on stage and tweak... but to mix a whole show? it's a bit cumbersome. Various ones work better than others. The X32 Mixing Station app (not designed by Behringer) is quite usable on android tabs to mix a whole show... did that the other night. Allen & Heath's apps are pretty good too. The soundcraft app is a bit cumbersome and the LS9 app is, ahem... not great.
