This is a knob for all jobs and that’s not very funny either! It is a serious piece of kit that can be used for everything from editing your own movies to surfing the web.
You can assign it certain applications and with the turn of the knob control more than just the volume of the laptop.
The PowerMate is made from aluminium it has that though well built feel to it and looks important too!
