USB Volume Control, AIMOS Lnline Volume Knob Lossless Audio Computer with 6.57ft USB Cable Mute Volume Control and PC Speakers Switch Control Module for XP, MAC, Vista, Win 7, 8, 10, Android Etc

I spent the last few eeks trying to get a keyboard I liked with some kind of volume control. I am visually impaired and use a screen reader on my computer, so I constantly need to change the volume based on the surrounding noise. I was tired of having to mouse over the volume control in the taskbar and use the wheel to adjust the volume and wanted something quicker.None of the keyboards worked and I found myself wishing there were dedicated volume knobs that would do the same thing as a volume knob on a keyboard. Then I remembered that if I thought about something useful, I could probably find ti on Amazon already.I chose this knob because it had good reviews, the features I wanted, and was priced reasonably.So far, I am not disappointed. The knob is small and sits nicely next to my keyboard. I connects via a micro-USB to USB-A cable that is included and works well in my KVM switch to control the volume of whatever device is active.. Each click increases or decreases the volume by 2% or you can press and turn to change it by 4% per click. You can mute/unmute by pressing the knob, but it needs to be a slow press. You can't just click down and up or it won't mute. Just a slight delay before lifting is enough so it is not a big deal.I liek that it comes with a detachab;e/replaceable cord for two reasons. First, my cat likes chewing on cords so if he chews through this one, I can just replace it. Also, it comes with, I think, a 6' cord, which is way longer than I need since my KVM switch is about 6 inches from the knob. I will probably replace the cable with one of the dozens of micro-USB to USB-A cables I've collected over the years.All in all, this is a great product so far and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to conveniently adjust the volume of their PC at any time.

Very nice stepped volume control. Each step falls nicely into place. Easy to turn. A pleasure to use this volume control. The diameter of the dial is ideal - neither too small nor too big. Sturdy build with metal casing. Works well on my Android device and Mac. I own two of these.

I've just received this device and will update if I run into issues. It is superbly useful to control volume quickly with this device as opposed to grabbing a mouse or trackpad, putting a cursor on a slider, and sliding the volume. Even the Touch Bar volume control is no match for the speed of this USB wired controlled.Here are some facts about it.The device case is 100% metal, with no visible plastic parts. The volume knob is brushed metal.There are four rubber feet that keep the device in place.The controller is stamped "Made In China" on the bottom.I own a MacBook Pro late-2019 16" model (A2141) and, using a dongle to attach this USB device to the newer USB-C inputs found on latest MacBook, it is running Mac OS Catalina, and this volume controller worked immediately! No software updates, no extra steps. The lighted LED dial worked, and the device controlled the volume well. Depressing the button muted the sound, depress again to unmute. The device controls the sound just as the song would be controlled by mousing the volume slider in the upper right screen. I keep the controller right next to my trackpad.The controller is visible even in pitch dark thanks to its LED blue light underneath the dial; I see no switch to turn this light on and off, its always on.The mute and unmute functions are instant, as is the volume regulation; no delays. Also, the dynamic range of the control is precisely as it is in the MacOS slider...there is not issue with truncating the volume range.The volume controller is always on, there is no on & off switch to hassle with; no batteries or charging (like my Apple trackpad, for instance, which must be charged).The cable is micro-USB to USB-2.0, and as such, can be replaced should it be necessary (i.e. the cable is not fixed in the device, but instead can be removed from it). It his a braided cable at over 6 feet in length, which seems substantial and well made.I also own a 2015 MacBook Pro 15" that this controller plugs right into the USB port, it is running macOS Catalina, and again, boom, instant gratification with plug and play. No fuss.I recommend this device as it is robust, and although seem pricey at nearly twenty-five clams, it will be used for a few years, and several thousand hours.Important edit: While the device works with MacOS as advertised with the native speakers 🔊 inside your MacBook, it does NOT control the volume if you have an external speaker connected through the 3.5 mm speaker jack! I have Bose Companion computer speakers connected by wire through the 3.5 mm headphone jack in my McBPro, and this device does not mute or control the volume. I tried Amazon laptop speakers through same jack, no volume control. This is important for many of you. I do not own a Windows PC or laptop to know if this is true for that ecosystem.

Works right away without needing to install software/drivers. Aesthetics are important to me. I took a star off for the false advertising about having a blue light glow. Looks nothing like the photo. There is an LED inside, but the light isn't visible unless you look at it at the right angle. Amazon should force them to remove the fake photo of it glowing. I am tired of false images like this on Amazon!
