Love this thing!

Always imagined how cool it would be to have a device that mimicked the scrub wheel of old traditional tape video decks. Was pleasantly surprised to see an offering that could do that here in Drop. Even though I had reservations about whether or not it would actually work after reading all the reviews, still gave it a shot. The device is well-made and had some weight to it that didn't feel cheap. The wheel was hard to turn initially, but loosened up nicely after playing with it. Getting it configured was a bit tricky as I had to look for the right VIA software (1.3.1) as well as the device's definition. Although only a wheel with three buttons, it allows 4 layers of key assignments which make it very versatile for other applications. It is a dream come true!

really good

The Megalodon Dual Layer Knob Macropad is a solid little addition to any setup—smooth knob, responsive keys, and just the right amount of customizability. Great for streamlining tasks without taking up too much desk space.

Looks awesome, support SUCKS

This device is great once I was able to figure it out. Because it took me so friggin' long, I'm editing my review to give folks who may need it the instructions that worked for me. Hope it helps! It took some doing but I was able to detect my device in Via v1.3.1 (the newer versions didn't work for me). I used the same Json file named above by eksb (https://wiki.keebmonkey.com/kb03-01.json) It's not clear what the map is but after some testing I found the following... The key layout I've attached is pretty easy to read once you figure it out. Keep in mind that the labels are what I've set it to and may be different for you.

The top key (TO(1)) is the button on the back of the Dual Layer Knob Macropad and is set to switch between layers.
The 3 middle keys (M1, M2, M3) are the 3 keys on the macropad.
The bottom 5 keys represent the two wheels. Vol- and Vol+ are rotations to the left and right respectively on the inner wheel while Mute is pressing the inner wheel. MsWh(down) and MsWh(up) are rotations to the left and right respectively of the outer wheel.

Hope this helps!!

Great product

I wanted a small macropad to control the volume and other random stuff. This works wonderfully. The build feels more solid than I expected, and all of the clicks and detents are satisfying.

Great Paperweight!

build quality seems great, knobs a little stiff but not a huge issue. its more that its a shame i didnt order a paperweight and dont need a paperweight. becuase this thing seems to be completely dead in the water, shark pun intended. so its nothing but a paperweight plugged into my pc. awesome. via doesnt recognize it, vial doesnt recognize it, nothing recognizes it so far. the doiokb.com site is of no use, just links to an old version of via that doesnt work with any .json file ive found on doiokb or keebmonkey. so whats going on here? i see lots of questions with the same problem but zero response from drop or the manufacturer. im currently overflowing with confidence here! and can i buy my next car through drop? have it arrive with no instructions, no keys, no steering wheel, just not working at all then find nobody is willing to do a single damn thing to help solve the problem? because that sounds fun to me and surely many others here.

A bit disappointed

Like other reviewers have said, the knobs are a bit too stiff; I would have prefererad if it was a fluid knob rather than a steppered one. Since this is my first macropad I had a hard time finding out how to configure it. If anyone else is in the same situation, this link helped me out: https://wiki.keebmonkey.com/en/products/mmp

Build seems good, knob and spinner way too stiff

The build seems great, seems like good material and workmanship. That said, the knob and spinner are really stiff to operate. I expected to be able to push the knob around with one finger so I could build an interaction where I push a button down with my thumb and push/pull on the side of the knob, doesn't work. My finger just slides on the smooth aluminum (if it had a rubber grip, it might work, still be too stiff but it would work). The spinner can be done with one finger but still takes way more force than the small dimple in the top should be used for. Also, sometimes the spinner spins when the knob is being turned. Bummer, I guess this is going to be relegated to controlling zoom meetings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Firmware doesn't work as intended

Build quality is great, switches caps and knobs. The CNC'd case is sturdy and well finished, as is the PCB. The only trouble I had is VIA didn't recognize it, and even with a modified .json (which I had to fix) the macropad doesn't work as intended. Knobs are mapped as buttons instead of knobs, and the layout is weird. I'll update once I rewrite the .bin with working knobs.

No working .json file, knob too stiff

The knobs are too stiff to be useful as many other reviews have stated. The biggest issue, however, is the lack of available support. The .json file needed to support this in VIA is nowhere to be found. Multiple requests in the Q&A and silence from Drop. How can you sell a product like without having the files necessary to make it work available to customers?

Cannot reprogram, followed many instructions.

I have lots of experience with this type of thing, and i cannot get the remap program to see this device at all. I have tried on a windows 11 machine and mac os machine. Both do not show the device for remap. Device works with shipped mappings. FAIL

ForcemysunshinexI took delivery on Aug 29th 2024. Looks like the firmware was updated and the old JSON file does not work (Via v1.3.1). The manufacturer's page contains documentation and an updated JSON file that works with Via 3.0. Lighting control is supported.
