I LOVE PHYSICAL UI

Buttery smooth endless turn, no detents, no limitations but those you impose on yourself. Button press is muted but not mushy, actuation is felt and still heard, just not all clicky. Would have liked a better copper color, but it's not a CNC'd ingot priced higher than the others, it's just pvd alu. Surface texture is nice though

Far more useful than I assume it would be

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

It's silly and I love it. Wish it were heavier.

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!

Great companion for the right keyboard setup

Does what it is set up to do well, and nicer looking when compared against the built-in knobs on some keyboards.

It's too light to be considered premium

Its got a smooth rotation, but the metal itself seems unfinished, plus it doesn't have any heft to it making it feel cheap. To top this off, the setup was awful. To start it didn't even recognise it as a USB device, then after 30 mins of fiddling it finally registered but was unable to read the USB descriptor. A few reboots, drivers, windows updates, trying every USB port it finally works. For a volume knob, I have to do about 4 rotations to go from 0 - 100. This to me is ridiculous.

BMWRiderGlad someone read my comment! Enjoy it. For everyone else, the surface dial can be bought super cheap on ebay/facebook marketplace etc. You really cant beat it for quality/price.

Feels very cheap

Not even remotely worth the price. The knob is extremely light. You need to use a sticky tape in order to glue it to the table, otherwise the entire thing rotates when you try to turn the knob. It feels extremely cheap. This is the type of device that you usually buy for 99 cents on Wish.

Knob weight/feel cheapens the product

The knob looks the part, but the feel is light/cheap, akin to a budget stereo.

Stopped working

Edit: Stopped working completely after about two months. This programmable knob is larger than I thought, and the encoder knob feels kind of cheap. I was hoping the knob itself would have some mass and be less wobbly. I also expected the rotation to be indexed, that's not a big deal, but generally I just like clicky feeling encoders better, as the haptic feedback lets me know when it engages.

The housing is nice. For a future iteration of the product, I'd suggest making the rotary knob about half as tall and make it from solid aluminum, with a top texture that allows you to rotate it with a finger on top. Keep the housing as is.

I decided to just keep it and just fix it by adding countersunk screws to the acrylic plate, and a different knob.

Junk, poor quality

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.

It broke after 6 weeks, but they sent me a replcement.

Mine simply stopped working after 6 weeks. But Binepad support sent me a new one and it's currently still working.
