There's a cool example of ham ingenuity to be found at:

Tobias, DH1TW, tackled the problem that a screen-only SDR interface is
a poor way to operate a radio for DXing  and/or contesting. He had the
inspiration that an excellent tuning device would be the Hercules MP3
DJ interface. It turns out to be perfect for the job, with two big and
very smooth tuning knobs, plus sliders and buttons galore. The PSDR
program itself is (sort-of) open source, but the Hercules drivers
aren't, so he hit upon the diabolically ingenious solution of having
PSDR communicate with the Herc via Midi signals. When I was going
through my Flex phase, I used this interface and loved it. It would
make a super-cool tuning knob for any radio.
