Rotary potentiometers, switches, and encoders all share a basic design: adjustment is done via a shaft onto which a knob is attached, and knobs are sold separately. That doesn’t mean one knob fits all ...

Knobs are ubiquitous in technology user interfaces, but touchscreens are increasingly replacing them for interface controls. The latest project from [upir] combines a rotating knob with a touchscreen ...

A line of knobs for encoders and switches features bell- and top-hat-shaped 16-mm parts. Available in soft-touch or hard plastic designs, the knobs accept standard D-shaped 6-mm shafts. Blue or white ...

PC gaming hardware maker Glorious’ latest product is a numpad and damn, it looks good. The GMMK Numpad is a wireless, mechanical ‘macro pad’ with tons of customization options, including a pressable ...

Mechanical keyboards like the Lofree Flow Lite100 have gained so much popularity over the years that they're no longer a ...

I want to write about something a little different this time. I removed the mechanical scroll wheel rotary encoder from a discarded optical mouse and used it in a little project. I really liked the ...

Integrating touchscreen and rotary-knob control into a single IC simplifies combining these two different but complementary user-input devices. Touchscreens and touchpads haven’t totally taken over ...

Rotary quadrature encoders often are used to command digital potentiometers or digital controllers, and quadrature decoding is typically performed in a programmable device (like an FPGA or ...

UNTERPREMSTAETTEN, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The new AS5601 contactless rotary position sensor from ams AG (SIX: AMS), a leading provider of high performance analog ICs and sensors, gives designers an ...

I feel like an old fool (but where are we going to find one at this time of the day?). The reason for my discomfiture is that I only recently became aware of the proliferation of rotary encoders. In ...
