The Ploopy Knob is a customizable desktop accessory that functions as a control dial for adjusting volume, scrolling documents, or scrubbing through media. It retails for $49.99 CAD and is fully assembled, unlike other DIY kits offered by Ploopy. The device is powered by a Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller and boasts a 12-bit resolution sensor. While it supports high-resolution scrolling on Windows and Linux, macOS users may face limitations due to automatic input smoothing. Nevertheless, the hardware is open-source, enabling users to create their own versions.
