Want a custom body or dial colors? No problem! Just drop me a message and we can work something out
Warranty and Support:
Each purchase comes with a year of direct, business hours, email support to assist you with initial configuration and any questions you may have about KNOB. Additionally, I will provide email and FAQ support on all future releases of the code as they become available. In the event that you want to use the controller with other software, the code behind KNOB is available freely on GitHub and the controller is not locked to just media control. However, I cannot provide support on software releases outside of the ones we provide due to the variables that the new code introduces.

The media controller is fantastic. It feels very nice. The only things of note, to point out to anyone considering this; Is the knob is bigger than I thought (hehe) and the scroll of the knob is smooth vs. notched. Those are non-issues for myself, but maybe not for others. The seller is awesome. I sent a message, immediately after my purchase, to request the color of the LEDs to be green. They very kindly replied stating no problem. The item arrived as expected.
Amazing quality, really well built, and the motion of the knob is smooth. It doesn't feel 3D printed.
Glad that the instructions were included - ended up changing the color of the LEDs and reducing the brightness through Via. Thank you!
As described. Great communication. Personalized attention and open to feedback.
the keyboard shifting around in the knob housing causing some confusion but the seller advised me out how it should be mounted. There are others volume devices out there but this one weighs enough to stay in one spot and of course it does not fall over.
Excellent design, quality print and smooth operation.
