I had no end of trouble with my K-Pod. I finally had to record a video and send 
it to Wayne to convince him that I could press a button, have the K3S light up 
indicating reception but fail to execute.  He revised the K3 firmware and this 
is fixed, but response time is still slow.  I can't comment on the knob, as far 
as I'm concerned, it's just in the way of the buttons.

I can't remember the FW revision but the notes should say.

For example, long push on F4 several times triggers the macro assigned to short tapping on F4. This also happens while the PC application is running.
