Taking a cue from the jog wheel we posted last week, [42ndOddity] has built an improved version. The design is based around a solid state rotary encoder instead of an optical encoder. The rotary encoder is far easier to attach and position properly. The knob is milled from scrap aluminum-it was a copier foot. To make the motion smooth, it’s sitting in a bearing from the same copier.

Aren’t these called “spinners” in the arcade/MAIM/video game world?
The extra mass to the wheel makes this a totally different feel from some plastic thingy.
Nice build.
