No it was actually super simple, I cannibalized a volume knob off Amazon by removing the housing, and when the I realized the PCB inside was pretty small, I decided to drill a hole in the front panel that would fit the knob and used a DIY USB Micro -> USB 2.0 Header cable to connect it to the PC.
This is the knob:

Does it need to be an actual wheel? Most keyboards have volume controls, but not necessarily a wheel. A wheel really limits your options. Corsair, Logitech, Das have some keyboards with a volume wheel, but I don’t think there are any TKL options. If you really want a wheel, you can get something like this then get a TKL RGB keyboard.

Given how uncommon these are on OEM keyboards, have you considered using a separate device like this? https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01MV411BR
I once had a keyboard with a really nice volume scroll, then they discontinued it when I went to replace it.
I got frustred with my limited options when I had the constraint of trying to find a keyboard with good volume buttons.
So I got myself a USB volume knob. The first one I got was all plastic, but it filled the void left by my keyboard, and opened up my options.
Then later this volume knob came out, a lot more metal, much heftier. I absolutely love it, more than any volume control I've had on a keyboard.
Also, that blue light only comes on while you change the volume, which I prefer.
It just feels so nice, and being able to put your volume control anywhere is super nice.
If you want to mount the knob to the bottom of your desk (which I've seen some people do) I'd suggest a plastic one.
Also worth mentioning, some people get DAC/AMPs to upgrade their audio, and some of those have volume knobs as well.
(Just trying to offer more solutions to your volume control that doesn't limit your keyboard options, that you may even enjoy more, which I do now.)
Gde imam da kupim ovako nesto kod nas, ne znam sta da trazim, ne izlazi nista na guglu, itsvetu, kp itd.

If you're ok with settling for an alternative these are two potentiometers I've been considering. An unbalanced CF is hard to find.

Romer G is a switch Logitech makes. I would try to stick with Cherry MX Linear switches and stay away from clicky switches because they get annoying after long term use. Tactile are an exception sometimes Using Halo Trues on my GMMK TKL right now 😊
If you want an RGB keyboard look at a GMMK by Glorious or a Ducky. If you don't need RGB then look at Leopold keyboards. Logitech are good at making mice but they are rather lack luster in quality when it comes to their Romer G keyboards. You could possibly consider their Cherry boards but I have no experience with them and I would personally pick a Leopold over most if all gaming brands now. I've owned and used a Corsair board(Corsair K70 - Cherry MX Red), Cooler Master board(CM Storm Quick Fire TKL - Cherry MX Brown) and Logitechs Romer G board (G810 Orion - Romer G). The G810 Orion was by far the worse mech board I daily used.. also the left CTRL key cap broke on me. The little peg legs that the key cap used to seat into the switch snapped causing me not be able to replace it. AKA perma damaged I forgot to mention than Romer G switches pop off all the f time which is another reason why I hate them so much.
Basically I'm telling you to avoid Romer G switches at all costs. 😅
If you need a media wheel then just get this - https://www.amazon.com/DROK-Lossless-Computer-Controller-Adjuster/dp/B01MV411BR/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=volume+wheel&qid=1550676625&s=gateway&sr=8-3
If you decide to get a Leopold and you need media keys for play, back, pause etc DM me and I can help you setup a script with Autohotkey. (I can't remember the script off the top of my head and I'm not home right now to look at it) I can provide the media control script later*
Its rather large but this volume knob should work.
Interesting. I saw references to UCR when I was working on getting my warthog throttle working with star citizen.
These are the ones I'm interested in (especially the Griffin one), but they don't say anything about MIDI. Do you think one might be able to be turned into a virtual joystick slider using UCR?

Edit: Actually I just realized the griffin is discontinued and sold out or overpriced most places... I guess the other one is ok too.
TIL the existence of auto hotkey :)
installed it and made a simple script to get F9-11 to increase, lower, mute the volume. Works like a charm.
Of course if I actually need those keys I'll have to remember to disable it, but I think overall this solves my problem.
No lie, I was about 5 mins away from ordering something like this: https://www.amazon.com/DROK-Lossless-Computer-Controller-Adjuster/dp/B01MV411BR?keywords=usb+volume+knob&qid=1540689669&sr=8-3&ref=sr_1_3
It's half the cost of the keyboard, but I really am used to having a quick volume control on hand.
I'm looking into different options for a desktop volume control knob, similar to this one
However... I figured if I'm going to spend $40 on something like this.. maybe there are DAC/Amps that could do the same thing for around the same price.. or even a little more. Do any of you know of an item like this? If I had to budget, I suppose < $150.
I just ordered a Sennheiser HD558 Cs. I may eventually upgrade, but at the moment, I don't require a DAC/Amp, just looking for versatility and thinking about future proofing this purchase.
