Used one for the GPT-3 Leta Series back in 2021 (all 60+ episodes!).
Still got mine!
Yippy! I feel like I'm 15 years younger

Anyone have a favorite 'modern controller' for those of us who no longer have a PowerMate?
This is awesome. I know I have one someplace that I stopped using because of lack of drivers, now all I need is to find it :)
I was wondering whether BetterTouchTool would support the PowerMate, and I sure didn't get disappointed: https://community.folivora.ai/t/griffin-powermate/30169
Disclosure: I have no idea whether this would still work, and I have no way to find out.
I love this. PowerMate was the ultimate fidget tool when not scrolling, editing, etc.
I have one of these and now all I need to do is find a reason to use the Mac.
I have two of these, near-permanently affixed to my Zynthian .. but now I think I want another one for the desktop. Anyone know of similar devices available currently?
I have one of those, but never used it too much—if the button got pressed while my Mac was asleep, it immediately woke up and kernel panicked. I don’t know if there was something odd about my machine or my particular PowerMate or what?
Lol I wrote a new driver for the bluetooth one a few months ago.
Curse you! Now I have to go clean out the attic to find mine.
Would be great if it could do other things, like be a volume knob, or do media play/pause, given that scrolling and mouse button press seem like things you already have a mouse to do?
