[Elecraft] [OT] I made a knob, a PigKnob.

[Vic K2VCO]

I like it.

I especially like the ability to assign macros to the buttons.  One idea would be to make 
the device larger and flatter, with more buttons. Many K3 users would like to have a 
dedicated keypad for band changes. A few more buttons would make this possible.

Lots of possibilities -- but the concept is a winner!
