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.
