I have one of these all I need to do is find it.
Curse you! Now I have to go clean out the attic to find mine.
I have one of these and now all I need to do is find a reason to use the Mac.
Lol I wrote a new driver for the bluetooth one a few months ago.
Damn I always wanted to one of these! So cool
Yippy! I feel like I'm 15 years younger
>Of course, modern controllers exist that offer many more literal bells and whistles...

Anyone have a favorite 'modern controller' for those of us who no longer have a PowerMate?

I love this. PowerMate was the ultimate fidget tool when not scrolling, editing, etc.
I have one of those, but never used it too much—if the button got pressed while my Mac was asleep, it immediately woke up and kernel panicked. I don’t know if there was something odd about my machine or my particular PowerMate or what?
Would be great if it could do other things, like be a volume knob, or do media play/pause, given that scrolling and mouse button press seem like things you already have a mouse to do?
This is awesome. I know I have one someplace that I stopped using because of lack of drivers, now all I need is to find it :)
I have two of these, near-permanently affixed to my Zynthian .. but now I think I want another one for the desktop. Anyone know of similar devices available currently?
The powermate driver still works. My powermate is hooked up to my mac studio. I'll try this one; the real one doesn't init on restart, so I have to open it to get the throbbing.
