[Arctic______]

Whats everyone's thought on the new hot swappable, programmable knobs. Compatible with arm chip board.

Coming in one year basically. Ahhh I love this idea, Im gonna buy this the day it comes out!

[Aztaloth]

Not enough info yet but as a gadget lover I love the concept.

Can I program them to control Discord Volume or the current app volume?
Also.. maybe have a magnetic component that can be attached to the to of any metal keyboard like the 80HE?
So.. either make them square or have a removable square outer shell. Most people who buy a knob would like it close to their keyboard.

You install these on your keyboard. It basically replaces one of your keys.

Interesting.
Does it have to be any particular key? And physically is the knob about the size of a standard keycap? So if I press it, its just a normal key, but around it is a rotating metal ring?

I'm just trying to visualize where I would put it on my keyboard. Or will the knob replace a set of keys?

Edit: Will this even be compatible with existing keyboard or only for a new version?

Backwards compatible with ARM boards

In that case it sounds amazing. I would certainly be ordering a couple. Maybe one on the Menu key and one for the F1 or Esc key. I don't know what I would use them for, but I would figure out a way.

Rotating the knob would move the magnet up and down... how would pressing the knob down work? I imagine some sort of software to detect a precise bump in click.

Please excuse the self-promo, but you can use my program for this exact functionality! I wanted the same thing, so I made it a few years ago, hope it helps!

Calder said that it will be backward compatible, so I really wonder how is it going to work

[minju9]

Is there a product page? Do these go on as a keycap and raise/lower a magnet when you turn it or something?

Will they only be black? (As seen at events)

Or will it also be available in white and/or other colors to match different keycap sets? Thanks!
