Amazing. I'm glad you don't ship outside of the US 'cause I would be insanely tempted to buy this completely superfluous gadget. Love everything about it, from the idea and its negative utility to design and materials.<p>Are there any details available? Dimensions, charging, etc?<p>Actually, this can be used as a presentation clicker, right? There you go, business expense.
I'd love if my cellphone had a lateral button like old portable radios had to adjust the volume but with the sole purpose of scrolling. Scrolling on the screen is annoying, my finger covers the content and I must be careful not to click something. I really can't believe I'm the only one desiring such a thing.
I hate it. I love it.<p>I've been thinking of removing the scroll wheel from my media PC's mouse to make doom scrolling harder. Love to see the innovation in going hard the other direction.
There's plenty of wireless standalone scroll knobs out there if this sounds like your cup of tea <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Wireless-Control-Pod-Customization/dp/B0CHLBQLM8/" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Wireless-Control-Pod-Customizat...</a>
I know a few doom scrollers for whom this would be incredibly tempting. The video looked like it requires a lot of rotations per screen tick. Can that be adjusted?<p>Now I am wondering if you can connect a bluetooth mouse to a phone to achieve the same effect, albeit in a less convenient package.
Should be paired with the OG Doomscroller:

People talking about old Blackberry and other phone/handhelds that had scroll wheels.... was reminded of the more recent Rabbit R1 device "analog scroll wheel"<p><a href="https://www.rabbit.tech/rabbit-r1" rel="nofollow">https://www.rabbit.tech/rabbit-r1</a>
Joke or not, this could be a pretty ergonomic way to read long form content. Currently I rebind my mouse side buttons to page up/down which serves much the same purpose, since scrolling endlessly on a mouse doesn't feel great for your hands.
I actually have a working prototype or two plus some cad for making a clicky scroll wheel using those chunky cnc Dials, is there a market for that? (The haptics of a cnc dial make it really nice for jumping around really long documents )<p>Edit: I’ve got usb c and usb a versions, I mean stuff like <a href="https://images.app.goo.gl/7t7SCs945yyxinsM8" rel="nofollow">https://images.app.goo.gl/7t7SCs945yyxinsM8</a> when I say dial. Still messing around with what sorts of enclosure etc for the overall device
Honestly I've always wanted something like this for reading ebooks.<p>After many iterations (and neck injuries) I've found the best position for me is simply laying horizontally with a normal sleeping pillow. Then using a stand with an arm to hold the device at the perfect position/distance (I use progressive glasses).<p>Typically I only lift my arm to scroll to the next page. But sometimes I skim sections of technical books and keep my arm lifted to move quickly. Holding the arm up for 5-10 minutes becomes annoying.
This is really neat, I wonder how hard it would be to retool for Android camera controls.
There's an accessory for the iPhone to get physical camera controls, but it's thicc
Every band of builders in a garage needs a variety of classes, but at least one Doomscroller. While everyone else's attention is down, in, focused, the Doomscroller looks outward.<p>They are the teams eyes and ears, continuously maintaining the indespensible information grounding signal. A streaming infinite scrolling HTML connection to the garage, from the real world.
One of the best UIs I've ever used was on Sony phone with a scroller-button. Scroller was to choose the option and button underneath (you pushed the scroller) was to select. Very fast, easy to learn and usable.
Why is this a knob and not a scroll wheel.<p>Protip, there's $10 "VR" controllers thats basically an analogue stick with a ring finger hole that does this already, in more ergonic way.
> Only works with Android/PC. Sorry iOS<p>If this was implemented as a Bluetooth mouse with just a scroll wheel, wouldn’t you get support on all recent operating systems for free?
the site just needs some subdomains, like <a href="https://ai.doomscroller.xyz" rel="nofollow">https://ai.doomscroller.xyz</a> for an extra bit of charm
Honestly, I'm a bit tempted. I read quite a bit on my laptop while lying down and my arms are always in a bit of awkward position in order to scroll. I have been thinking of getting one of those presenter tools.<p>The only downsides are price & lack of click.
