Amazing. I&#x27;m glad you don&#x27;t ship outside of the US &#x27;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 love it. I think it would be even funnier if you made it only scroll in one direction (downwards) to remove any possible semblance of being useful.

I&#x27;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&#x27;t believe I&#x27;m the only one desiring such a thing.

I don&#x27;t get it. What&#x27;s it do?

I hate it. I love it.<p>I&#x27;ve been thinking of removing the scroll wheel from my media PC&#x27;s mouse to make doom scrolling harder. Love to see the innovation in going hard the other direction.

There&#x27;s plenty of wireless standalone scroll knobs out there if this sounds like your cup of tea <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Razer-Wireless-Control-Pod-Customization&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B0CHLBQLM8&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;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.

But does it actually run Doom?

Should be paired with the OG Doomscroller: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;endlessdoomscroller.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;endlessdoomscroller.com</a>

Add a number lcd displaying how many miles you have scrolled so far

People talking about old Blackberry and other phone&#x2F;handhelds that had scroll wheels.... was reminded of the more recent Rabbit R1 device &quot;analog scroll wheel&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rabbit.tech&#x2F;rabbit-r1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.rabbit.tech&#x2F;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&#x2F;down which serves much the same purpose, since scrolling endlessly on a mouse doesn&#x27;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;images.app.goo.gl&#x2F;7t7SCs945yyxinsM8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;images.app.goo.gl&#x2F;7t7SCs945yyxinsM8</a> when I say dial. Still messing around with what sorts of enclosure etc for the overall device

Honestly I&#x27;ve always wanted something like this for reading ebooks.<p>After many iterations (and neck injuries) I&#x27;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&#x2F;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&#x27;s an accessory for the iPhone to get physical camera controls, but it&#x27;s thicc

Every band of builders in a garage needs a variety of classes, but at least one Doomscroller. While everyone else&#x27;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.

Site doesn&#x27;t even work on Android.

One of the best UIs I&#x27;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.

This was brilliant, I played with it longer than I really should have

Why is this a knob and not a scroll wheel.<p>Protip, there&#x27;s $10 &quot;VR&quot; controllers thats basically an analogue stick with a ring finger hole that does this already, in more ergonic way.

&gt; Only works with Android&#x2F;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?

Amazing product. I&#x27;m a bit dissapointed though at the lack of scrolling possibilities in the website.

Surface Dial&#x27;s mutant cousin.

I would like to buy a device but seems like Stripe does not send it to Ukraine.

If somebody could invent something like this to turn my kindle pages

the site just needs some subdomains, like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ai.doomscroller.xyz" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ai.doomscroller.xyz</a> for an extra bit of charm

Honestly, I&#x27;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 &amp; lack of click.

brings back memories of my ipod which i never had.

Needs knurling.

have you raised any capital for this project? i think a lot of incubators could be interested in helping you enshittify this idea.
