Evidently point your mouse and turn the nob to your heart's content. No special software (Automap).  
 
Kinda pricey.  Kinda retro too, though.  
 
Wish it came in a stone enclosure.  Marble, onyx, anthracite...

I've been wanting this since it came out last some time last year. But haven't felt I had the need after getting my Console 1.. It to pricey for me, as well. 
I still get email from them from time to time, to say they are in stock.
I haven't seen much publicity about it lately, either.
I'd like to see an option, where you didn't have to move your mouse before using it. I would like to use both the nob and my mouse with my right hand. It would make me switch tools too often..
Nob with a touchpad 
All the best.

So unless I've missed something, you point your mouse at something you want to control and then you can  use this to control what the mouse is pointing at instead of just using the mouse that you already had to point at the thing you want to control ?
 
Hmmm........
 
I'm not sure if they named it after the inventor, the investors or the would-be purchasers.

199 EUR for a pot and two switches? Yikes. If you really need more precision, try a nice laser mouse with oodles of programmable buttons for less than 30 bucks.

Yeah but it is a German nob with German switches and German standard USB.

The firm has perfect location to make knobs on wood: 100m from Conrad Electronic (to get the knob and switches) and 50m from the State park (for wood).

You have to admit, tho, it is a nice looking nob.

It is indeed 
That is why I have wanted one since I saw it.
I could perhaps use it with my left hand...
