Welcome, introducing the
Pre-order now here
(All pictures above are real)
Show more pictures
Experience a smoother way of controlling your device
without having to use keyboard shortcuts or manually
controlling it on your screen.
The RGB Knob is a
compact and beautiful case that lets you use the most common
controls at a click of a button.
With 6 easily
accessible layers, you can control your volume, brightness,
scrolling, RGB modes, changing between screens, adding
custom shortcuts for your favourite software, and more!
Works on your phone too.
Connected via magnets, the RGB
Knob is a compact and minimalistic controller that sits
perfectly on your desk, with its 30 mini RGB LEDs that bring
a beautiful ambient to your setup.
6 Costumizable
Layers
With 6 layers, you can customize each one
individually for all your needs. Creativity is your only
limit (well, almost).
To see the layers on your knob
hold & rotate, 6 colors will be displayed as you do it.
To select one, point the knob to the color of your choice
(the brightest color is the one being selected).
Configuring
each individual layer is just as easy. Your RGB Knob comes
flashed with QMK software and you will have 6 functional
layers right out of the box but you can edit what each
actions does in a click of a button with our custom
built-in-browser “software. Go to
rgbknob.epkb.design
with a chromium based browser and connect your RGB Knob. (To
connect, press Connect to device > RGBKnob >
Connect).
Succeeding the connection, you will be
greeted with the same colors as in your knob. You can select
each one and specify what your actions do for: left-turning,
right-turning and press.
In the pictures below you can
see the menu where you can edit the layers, and all the
commands you’re offered for each.
The amount of commands you can add into a single knob
is amazing. If you’re curious, here are my personal current
layers on the RGBKnob:
- Layer 1: Volume up & down, press to stop all sounds
- Layer 2: Left & right arrows, press for spacebar - Use to fast-forward/rewind videos (YouTube, prime, Netflix, etc..) and stop/start when needed
- Layer 3: Page up & down - Use to scroll on website
- Layer 4: Volume up & down, press for shortcut to mute/unmute my microphone on Zoom calls and control the audio from it.
- Layer 5: Screen brightness up & down
-
Layer 6: RGB modes and toggle off/on to go trough all
the RGB modes or to turn it off when I don’t want to see
light
You can easily customize your Knob to fit your needs and add any shortcuts for apps (Illustrator, Photoshop, Games, Work, etc…)
MAGNET MOUNTED
For the top and bottom of the case we used magnets to hold both. Makes the opening of the RGB Knob much easier and it’s definitely a very nice feeling to let the case close on it’s own.[the side of the knob has a hole for the screw to hold on the encoder, no wobble exists when using your knob](video from our old prototype, rose color does not exist & the texture on the actual concept is smoother)

Fun
fact, few weeks ago we had the knob with 8 layers instead of
6 which was insane. We are keeping at 6 because we feel it
is a great number of layers already for a single knob.
Unless….if a lot you want more layers, we will do a google
form soon to confirm that so anyone who wants can have 6 or
8 layers. (I assume 30 layers would possible too lol)
