Basically, imagine a mouse wheel, but in a rotary switch form factor.

Ie, I can put a knob on it and when I turn it one way, I get clicks on one pole, when I turn it the other, I get clicks on the other pole.

It's pretty much exactly like how a typical Mousewheel works, only in rotary switch form.

I'm sure someone makes such a thing, I'm just not sure what it'd be called.

Weird, I started this thread just a week or so ago...

For what its worth,  I installed it in my jukebox for volume control via a cheapo hacked usb game controller and it works an absolute treat.

Interesting idea. 2 switches and a little toggle plate between them... Nice.

I was looking for a different feel though. Where you could actually rotate the knobs like on the original units.

Just had a thought. You might need a pair of small caps to prevent the DC signal. or turn off key repeat in your OS, Otherwise, you might have "stuck" keys.
