One of the "restrictions" I've placed on myself for this project is that thing look pretty OEM. The Powermate fails that test. In my interior, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Originally, I wanted to have a non-touchscreen and use a Powermate/ShuttleXpress as the only input. I might still go that route, but not yet. I still would like a volume knob, but I think I would do better with hacking up a mouse and finding a knob that matched better.
