My partner tried out her #Ploopy dial and immediately said she wanted to be able to click with it. Considering they already run QMK, I really do think @ploopy's next move should be a Knob Plus or something with at least one clicky button - "being able to change the direction of scrolling from portait to landscape in Excel would be fucking mint!" is a direct quote here.

As it is, I might build a little platform for mine with tactile buttons underneath, to see what I can do on my own.

Okay, maybe that's the in-depth review.

Not much to it.

High-precision scrolling is wonderful, it's as satisfying as touching the screen and moving things where you want them. The #Ploopy Knob is a lovely, high-quality solution for it, available at a pretty good price (CAD$50) that supports open source hardware and software projects.

If you're reading this thinking you might like one - I promise you you're right, and you should just go buy one. Recommended. https://ploopy.co/shop/knob/

Photo of the #Ploopy Knob in situ because I forgot to attach it to the earlier post about the 3D printed finish.

The design is great, and a lot of care was taken in printing it - the concentric finish on top is lovely, and I can tell they randomised the layer seams so there wouldn't be one big scar up one side of it somewhere. The slot for the USB socket is perfect.

I don't often see someone else's #3DPrinting up close, but I'm impressed with this. It definitely belongs on my desk.
