In this video I unbox and test a dual-knob RGB scroll controller — two metal dials with tactile clicks, an RGB ring, USB-C power, and Bluetooth pairing. I try it on Android for TikTok scrolling and volume, test iPhone limitations, then move to MacBook where the official config software fails to detect the device and third-party macro tools become the only workaround.

What's up guys today we are checking out this custom knob controller and the reason I really
liked it is because it had two scroll wheels one on the top one on the bottom if my understanding
or by looking at it listing was correct it had an RGB and and it was also clickable.
So if you are a pro user then you can actually take a lot of advantage like using these triggers
so you can control zoom in zoom out you can switch between different color ranges
and you can do a bunch of other stuff depending on what your workflow is and you can also use the
assigned dedicated clicks to their clicks to perform certain actions and then there is also
an RGB. So I thought it was a cool idea you can increase your productivity by it. So I thought
give it a try. So you have a big cable maybe one meter type A to type C
colored blacks which means that it is not bluetooth enabled and actually surprisingly
these feels metal. I was expecting them to be not metal actually I was expecting it to be
plasticky but these things are metal and very satisfying to rotate and there is a feedback
like click tick tick tick. So there is not sound but the feedback is there when you give it a
certain way same is here. I don't know if my mic can pick it up. So very satisfying this one is
heavier this one is lighter the this area is for RGB then you have the type C then on
part number you have on off and rubber feet so it doesn't slide away and you have this tiny little
controller knob controller for your PC Mac or whatever you want to use it with. Let's see
let's documentation you have so that you we can see so you have it is a dual knob you actually
also have a single knob if you don't want a dual knob you can get a single knob too but I got the
dual knob one and that supports bluetooth. Oh so it does support bluetooth 2.4G wireless and
wire type C connections that's actually cool I will if it is also bluetooth. It is driver free
plug and play that's also cool and can be programmed to perform any standard keyboard
function including complex shortcut combinations with its single press that's cool. Controller
has a built-in memory and is compatible with Windows, Mac OS, Android, Harmonia OS and iOS
as well. Multiple controllers can be connected simultaneously so you can use multiple of these
you don't need to stick with a single one. Compact portable and easy to use okay one click
text input scroll up and down on TikTok or other short video apps on phone and tablet.
Hit the like button or just screen brightness for that is for laptop switch between web pages
control video editing software. Okay this they keep mentioning 2.4G receiver so they did they
I mean if you haven't sent any then how would I even use any because they
maybe they are just saying that if you have a receiver it will work with it.
Yeah okay scan the QR code to download the mini keyboard software from there. So you need to
control or customize its functions you need to download this software what about on Android
anyway function settings are there the different software settings are there
so frequently asked questions are here. What about the phone plug the receiver into your
computer turn on the computer bluetooth. All right so you do have the scanner
and we also looked at its design I will need this documentation again and again because
again I explore the technology with you I have just I always just look at listing like
a already and then I'm exploring the technology just like you guys are. So I don't know a thing
about them so many people say hey you don't even know what you are talking about that's the whole
idea I am trying to explore it. Let's try to see if I am able to download the app on
a phone because they mentioned phone and so let's see it is not secure connection
which is not good windows windows windows macOS so apparently there is no phone app
so how would it work then maybe it will simply work. So let's turn it on and there is this
button as well not sure what is this button so let's turn it on if and see if it has any battery
oh it does have battery and when I perform any action it gives an RGB effect so let me turn off
lights I should keep some running but let's see so when I rotate it see there is a light effect
although I would like to adjust it maybe that button is actually for adjusting it let's see
no I thought it when I would like it to be always on RGB oh this one is definitely for
changing the pattern at least this button because the pattern did change I think so
and what if I give it some power RGB on that way apparently not now how do I pair it with bluetooth
because they did mention bluetooth here so you have this 2.4 so this button is called layer key
layer key and no idea what does that mean I'm just going to search for it in my bluetooth
and let's see if we find any okay so it is already visible I didn't have to do anything so let's
pair it and now it is paired and let's see how much so it is paired as a text input
now what would happen oh nice so I can just do like this let me give it sunlight
so check this out have you ever tried to change the volume like this I think it's cool okay
guys check this out check this out phone and there goes the volume
down the volume what about this one oh this is for scrolling so it has some pre-programmed
functions now it is not even letting me type so I did I paired it with this keyboard and
now it was not showing the keyboard I finally figured it out so let's go to TikTok because
it helps you scroll let's see let's let me switch between my videos actually okay okay
so guys I'm watching this video I want to move to next this one see next next next previous
next previous next previous I want to increase the unique the unique thing we can see
is mechanics and volume now what happens if I give it click nothing what if I go double tab
uh what if I click this button nothing they did mention that you can do like so
I was expecting it to give like to myself but how do I give like to myself
apparently I am unable to my click is happening but it is not doing anything
so I am unable to give like to myself but volume control is there the unique things
is mechanics but the reaction time is really smooth big hand small I mean it follows instantly
and this is very satisfying to actually scroll it because it is made of metal
and there is no end like you can just keep rotating this is and what happened to you okay
why is not it's swipe what wasn't it working right before this one but now it is not
that's how okay so this button somehow locks if I click it and then swipe it nothing happens
then I if I click and if I click it again it locks click it again it starts scrolling so you can
use the scroll on anything wherever it is scrollable for example here it is scrollable
what why did it go back these functions keep to be changed seems to be changing
I have no idea so if I click it again what would then happen nothing happens now
and this stays same way so this button is not
not disturbed but this one is so if I press again nothing happens press again now
it starts working so you can actually lock this button down in case you don't want to
swipe it and I did try to find the like but I am unable to find it so I'm unable to give
myself like let's try in reels Instagram reels maybe I can do it there can I give myself like
no no like there then I can swipe like this so my phone and use you can use similarly on
PC Windows Mac what about iOS because it does work with iOS right so let's disconnect it
to have to change let's disconnect it from here just so that it is easier
unpaired I'm going to switch to iPhone and iPhone let's go to explode out and
let's see if I okay I can spot it let's pair it and see what it is
what does it do here it connected let's see how it is connected no idea no volume so so same thing
and this one what does it scroll let's the bottom one doesn't seem to be doing here
anything top one is doing volume and pressing it one time actually
mutes it pressing it again unmutes it now let's go to tick tock and see if it changes there
okay so let's see so you have volume here I'm trying to see if this one actually
does scroll not really on iPhone the scrolling doesn't work at least not for me
yeah unless you have to do something special the scrolling doesn't work no matter how much I do and
if like was an option I wasn't able to make it work okay so iPhone and Android done now
what is next what is next what is next next up is macOS MacBook I don't have a Windows PC with
me at the moment so I will not be able to test it so let's go to test it out on a Mac all right
I have connected it with my MacBook and this is actually its application I mean it's
stretches straight to my whole monitor and it does not recognize this device
and on top of that the website is not that encouraging I mean look at it first of all
it is not secure see second it's uh it is auto translated I think it is not even in English
I think so then they do make a lot of other stuff as well but for example if I look at it there is
no Mac option at all even though they do say Mac option there is one software that is Mac supported
which is this one so I actually downloaded it but it isn't working so maybe it's your old
screen customized small keyboard screen I don't know so I connected it it did not detect it so
I'm unable to customize it with their applications then I have this macro rebound online like
Chrome and actually this one does recognize it see so you can customize it using this
application it does say that see it has recognized it I'm saying so you can select what kind of
device it is and then how many knobs it has three keys zero knobs two knobs six keys something like
that 15 keys 12 keys two knobs maybe this one with two so then you can click on one and then
go to assign different actions to it and then once you're done you would say right keypad by default
it works the same way volume control scroll all that thing is there let's try let me scroll it
there is the volume there is volume see and if I click this one
it is like just scrolling my cursor around and sometimes it let's see if it
and it doesn't actually by default does not even scroll so there is that at least it does not
scroll here yeah and actually types did I write something like knob two will type but it
it is trying to type here I mean I'm rotating so it is doing something but on Mac I feel like
there's not good support and I don't like that their website is also unsecured but
assuming I'm assuming you will get better support for it on
Windows but if you want to use it this is the URL that you should try it will
let you change it however you want so this is knob two and then you can control it
device is it's a really good idea but I feel like unless you find a software to tune it down
it's a missed opportunity on Mac at least so uh I don't know uh I can definitely not recommend
anyone with Mac Mac OS MacBook for Windows I'm not sure if it will work or not that the
softwares are mostly Windows so maybe it will work but for some reason since I haven't tested
I can't say it so I mean you know what you're getting into so buy it on your own at your own
risk now these are my thoughts let me know about you guys and take care bye
