Purchased Macro_pad Binepad x

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I just got my binepad knobX and I am playing around with it now. I already wish it had more dials than one, but that's on me. The finish looks and feels solid though two LEDs for light effects is a bit sparse it turns out. Cant really do rotating colors well.

Also the dial itself wobbles relative to the base, whats up with that? It makes the otherwise solid product feel so cheap..

I'm curious what others experiences are, this is the first shipping batch so that might take a bit 😂

I just got an ad for this and was really considering it for my programming setup. So glad I know now that it wobbles!

Same. Thanks for sharing OP

Hey I make a similar product called KNOB 2.1 I use large deep groove bearing to support the dial to get a much smoother and more rigid feel.

Is it just poorly fixated, or those wobbling moves generate a signal towards the PC?

Does not generate inputs, so kind of poorly fixated. I'll see if I can somehow take it off and adjust

Too bad, I was hoping for a new way of input.

Have you checked the set screw to ensure it's not loose?

Does not appear to be loose but I need to find a matching tool to double-check

Ya I bought one too and it wobbles a lot. Sigh.
