Need some advice pls

Moby · 04-28-2005, 02:40 PM

I really love the Shuttle express, was gonna order it but I have no place to fit it decently.

So I'm looking for another similar knob but it must fit in 4x4 cm
Also I'm looking for some cool buttons. Any ideas where to buy them?
I went to an elctronics reseller over here but he had almost nothing.

Pls gimme some advice. Thanks

Might try the Griffin PowerMate. Less functionality then the Shuttle, but it looks slick and gives you a solid knob. Don't know if it fits in 4cm^2 tho.

Buttons, Bulgin's vandel resistant line is some of the nicest looking buttons I've seen. Aren't cheap, but very solid. You can order them from places like Allied Elec.

wow thanks this is what I was looking for. Dear but worth it!

If people aren't replying, it probably means no one has an answer. Constantly bumping it to the top isn't going to change that.

I for one am not aware of any jog dials that fit your size req. You could make one from a knob and the guts of a mouse, I think several people have done that. Search for the thread(s) discussing it if you're interested.

rip one out of the mega 180

Moby · 05-02-2005, 06:37 PM

ok so then what is this mega 180?

mushin · 05-02-2005, 07:53 PM

I too wondered "what is mega 180" so I went to google, typed "mega 180" into Google, and the entire first page was relevent hits. I don't want to be condescending, but c'mon.

On a marginally more relevent note, isn't buying a barebones system just to get at the knob is a wee bit expensive?

Moby · 05-03-2005, 04:18 PM

Yeah I'll buy myself the BMW to get the knob.
