"Useful to / for you"

Is this device useful to / for you? Which preposition is natural to you? I think that either one is okay to use and they mean the same. What do you think? Thank you so much.

Thank you and then how about "to be beneficial to you" and "to be beneficial for you"?

'For' is possible. There are quite a few examples in the Corpus of Contemporary American Usage.
