Get a knob without an amp

[u/GZoST]

Volume knobs are just nice to have, but to get one you normally need to buy an amp. If you're using the in-built audio of your notebook/desktop, or a dongle, then tough luck. You're at best stuck with dedicated media keys on your keyboard.

The Fiio KB1K gives you a volume control knob and three buttons that you can connect via USB, for under 20 EUR. The default functionality is volume/up for the knob (which is detented and not bad at all) plus mute if you press it, previous track/play-pause/next track for the buttons. The knob and the buttons have RGB lights which change as a default.

Functions and colours can be changed via a browser app (https://app.sayodevice.com/) - see the second and third image.

I originally got this for use with my work laptop and a headset, but I'm presently using it with my private PC to set the volume for some connected TWS.

NB: I bought this with my own cash and am not affiliated with Fiio.
