I bought this to use with video editing software as a jog dial, the top edge is sharp and it's not usable with 1 finger really, not with any accuracy. I regret purchasing this and hope they come up with an alternate knob for these.
Once you have the software installed on your computer you can really see the flexibility that this device can be bringing. I have mine currently set up so that the dial will work for volume control but with one click on the dial it changes to scrolling left to right. I use this for my sound editing software. Then I have a double click set to a keybind to open up windows sound settings. I was reading some other reviews saying that the weight of it is too light. In my personal opinion it's heavy enough to not slide around on my desk while using it constantly scrubbing through sound. I personally really enjoy having a large knob to work with
Weighs very little and is smaller than what is comfortable. It weighs so little that any stress in the cord moves it around the desk or topples it. The knob itself is not a chunk of metal—Instead it feels like a very thin metal cap over a plastic knob. It just feels cheap. The haptics of the push button are revoltingly mushy. I plan to return it.
To make this product worthwhile, increase the diameter about 30% so that it’s wider than it is tall, throw a chunk of lead in the base, machine the top out of a solid piece of metal, use a rotary encoder that has a good click when you push it and throw in Bluetooth.
The feel is not great, the aluminum knob has a sharp corner around it that catched your hand and feels terrible. knob isn't super sensitive so I ended up 3D printing a new one. I wish I would have saved my money.

I like this knob way more than I thought it would. Especially since it wasn't on sale when I bought it the first time. It works exactly as it's supposed to, it's smooth, no detente. My only gripe: I wish it was heavier. It would benefit from having a weight in the bottom. It's fairly stable without but it's just too easy to move. This didn't stop me from buying a second one.
HappyHoundThank you for your feedback! We've replaced the acrylic plate with brass in our latest batch, making the knob much heavier. We hope you enjoy the improved feel. If you have more suggestions, feel free to share!
This is a nice knob, but as others have mentioned it could definitely use some weight for the price.
Regardless, by default it's programmed for volume/mute, which is what I want it for. Included is a QR code for programming it. I did not go down this path, but I'm glad they thought of something like this.
I got the copper top. I really wanted the black top, but it was out at the time. It's nice regardless.
