If someone is still reading this:

We're the developers of TheKnob.

Please tell us how would you like us to improve the knob itself?

Would you buy it?

Would you like to see it as a DIY kit or ready-to-use product?

We're using plastic for the bottom frame now, maybe we should consider using aluminum or wood frame?

We are getting a lot of questions about the knob.

Here is some info to avoid any confusion:

The concept of the knob made of concrete is fully inspired by DIY Perks. But we are added a lot of perks, like:

- Open-source Arduino-compatible firmware so you can add your functionalities and light effects;

- The audio is controlled with the HID library instead of potentiometer; spare time - There are one audio input and two outputs that can be switched with the hardware switch;

- Bonus option is you can use it as a scrolling knob;

- The audio lines are connected to the microcontroller and you can add light effects relative to the sound;

- It is 3d printed and we also added a 3d printable model of the mold for the concrete part;

If you are interested in buying one of the samples please email us, we'll try to figure something out. This way you will help us understand how desirable the product is.

Thank you and Have a nice day ;)

We're not ready to sell any of these yet. If you're interested in getting one of the samples please email us. I'm not sure, but I hope we'll figure something out.

We're a small team, not a huge company. We've made this product open-source and free to use in our spare time.

I'm not sure, but Griffin does not offer you all the perks I've described below:

Sorry guys, I didn't expect so much interest from the audience. I've updated the website, hope it's better now :)

Hey tkzed49,

Right, the concept of the knob made of concrete is fully inspired by DIY Perks. But we've added a lot of sugar:

- Open-source Arduino-compatible firmware so you can add your functionalities and light effects;

- The audio is controlled with the HID library instead of potentiometer;

- There are one audio input and two outputs that can be switched with the hardware switch;

- Bonus option is you can use it as a scrolling knob;

- The audio lines are connected to the microcontroller and you can add light effects relative to the sound;

- It is 3d printed and we also added a 3d printable model of the mold for the concrete part;

Interesting... I've never seen the startup doing something like this, we were inspired by DIYPerks on youtube.

Hey, We didn't expect such huge feedback, and the website was made just for fun without any testing. We know that the webpage is clunky. Moreover, we're hosting it on a limited free Firebase tier. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sorry, we didn't expect such a huge interest from the community. The website was made quickly and without any testing.

I know it's ugly, sorry.

Maybe I'll try to fix it these days.

I'm not sure yet. We have several manually assembled samples now, but it isn't easy to produce a lot of them without a proper production line... If you're interested in getting one of these samples you can email at brainhublab@gmail.com, we'll try to figure out how to send one to you.

Yep. And even after weeks touching the concrete surface, it still feels awesome. Sometimes I wish there was a concrete mouse :D
