Would be great if it could do other things, like be a volume knob, or do media play/pause, given that scrolling and mouse button press seem like things you already have a mouse to do?

The powermate driver still works. My powermate is hooked up to my mac studio. I'll try this one; the real one doesn't init on restart, so I have to open it to get the throbbing.

Anyone have a favorite 'modern controller' for those of us who no longer have a PowerMate?

Used one for the GPT-3 Leta Series back in 2021 (all 60+ episodes!).
Disclosure: I have no idea whether this would still work, and I have no way to find out.

I have one of those, but never used it too much—if the button got pressed while my Mac was asleep, it immediately woke up and kernel panicked. I don’t know if there was something odd about my machine or my particular PowerMate or what?

I have two of these, near-permanently affixed to my Zynthian .. but now I think I want another one for the desktop. Anyone know of similar devices available currently?

Lol I wrote a new driver for the bluetooth one a few months ago.

Curse you! Now I have to go clean out the attic to find mine.
