Maybe [this?] (http://www.amazon.com/DROK-Control-Controller-Adjusting-Computers/dp/B016U2KXCG/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1454031693&sr=1-1&keywords=usb+audio+knob)

agreed. I got one because it was too interesting not to try out.

It is very well made, and I wanted to find it useful but it just wasn't. For most non-art actions it seemed to be a complicated substitute for a scroll wheel that you had to unhand your mouse for. The most useful function in day-to-day windows work I found was as a volume knob.

So, I ended up instead getting one of these (which is fantastic for Google Earth):

and an actual dedicated volume knob:

Much better.

I also now see they make a wireless version of the Space Mouse.

Something like this:

I personally have a Dac/Amp for my headphones and a separate audio interface for my speakers, but most people probably aren't looking to spend a good 100 bucks on audio equipment.

looks like this thing https://www.amazon.com/DROK-Control-Controller-Adjusting-Computers/dp/B016U2KXCG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1501348428&sr=8-2&keywords=USB%2Bvolume%2Bknob&th=1

Get yourself a little something.

Thanks now I finally understand.

When searching "volume control knob" I've stumbled upon this. Is that what you're looking for?

It's also available without the audio switch but you might want to have that too, at least I'd prefer that extra functionality.

Well then there's no simple way to wire both into the same control with audio cables, that I know of.

If you're running Windows, something like this USB controller should work:

Edit: I'm not recommending that one, it's just the first one I found. I don't have your issue (yet), so I haven't had to solve it myself.

this one is cheaper, and I believe that other one might not be supported on win 10

Get one of these friend, much better than any keyboard that has a volume knob.

Yes, there are devices that do that.

I use this for my volume.

If my keyboard had dedicated I'm not even sure I'd use it with this thing around.

Buy them from someone who has a set they're not using. They don't sell them separately. But they're not worth tracking down really, there are usually better options available... The Vortex PBT doubleshot backlits are a real upgrade. But they're out of stock everywhere unless you like white.

And that brings me to why I would not recommend a K70. For one, you have to run their software 24/7 for any lighting functionality or macros. If you use multiple computers, your settings also won't travel with the keyboard. Secondly, don't buy a K70 if you don't like the caps, they're rather hard to find good replacements for.


The MasterKeys has the most sensible media key shortcuts I've ever used, can fit the vast majority of keycaps, and I would add a DROK volume knob if you really feel like you need that.

There are cheaper alternatives

Here's an even cheaper one, though I have no idea how the quality are for any of these kinds of knobs.
