You mean like this? It's too bad I don't use my VCR anymore. This is a great feature of the remote. It's got a nice tactile click/indent as you rotate it, it's raised up enough that it's easy to access yet protected enough that it isn't accidentally rotated, and you can push down on it. The only drawback is it makes the remote VERY thick. See the second picture, sorry for the grunge! I've also seen something like this on a model railroad controller: http://www.plasticando.com/magazine/0309/NCE_file/clip_image004.jpg, the "SPEED" knob in the top centre. This one isn't as nice as the Panasonic, doesn't click and can't be pressed, but it doesn't make the case quite as thick. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: remote wheel 2.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=977| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21736 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
