KNOB is a premium media controller, volume knob, and macropad that combines the nostalgic, tactile feel of classic volume controls with a sleek, minimalist design. Featuring a smooth, weighted dial with a precision roller bearing and tactile Keychron K Pro Banana mechanical switches, it delivers a customizable audio controller experience for the modern age.

Features:

  • Easy to use Via Web Configurator (usevia.app)
  • Hot swappable Key switches
  • Full RGB programmable backlighting
  • Precision weighted dial supported by a robust roller bearing
  • Magnetic hall effect rotary encoder with 12-bit resolution
  • Genuine K Pro Banana mechanical switches
  • QMK opensource firmware support (qmk.fm/)
  • USB-C data and power connector (USB-C cable is not included)

Each KNOB Audio Controller comes pre-mapped with:

  • Clockwise rotation as volume up
  • Counter Clockwise rotation as volume down
  • Left keypress as media rewind
  • Center keypress as media play/pause
  • Right keypress as media skip/next

KNOB will work natively with any computer, when plugged in KNOB shows up as a standard keyboard and sends media control commands as simple key strokes. Thanks to this control scheme no extra software is needed, just plug KNOB in and connect to your music.

Customization:
For the power users, KNOB V2 is now VIA compatible and can be remapped right in your web browser without any coding.

QMK Support:
Thanks to the Atmega32U4 processor KNOB is compatible with the opensource QMK firmware, and is currently shipping with it pre-installed

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 Endgame Knob Has Arrived

I have used various knob devices in the past (including the Ploopy knob), and I was immediately impressed when I unboxed this device and began using it. The knob has an excellent heft so the device stays in place, even on a smooth work surface. The instructions for customizing and remapping the device are clear and exceptionally well written, with an excellent accompanying video to explain things.

I code and work in CAD all day, and the Knob has become an essential part of my workflow. A huge thanks to Baseline Design for making an incredible product. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see what's next!

Surprising

I'm shocked by how high quality and nice this feels. I largely purchased this for the knob to use as a scrolling device in conjunction with the SmoothScrolling application, which creates a really nice, pleasant, high-resolution-esque scrolling experience.

The hardware itself doesn't feel 3D printed or cheap at all. It's lovely, the magnetic knob scrolling feels lovely, the finish is beautiful. I really can't complain about this device at all.

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!
