I agree that the encoder disc is a little slippery.  I keep my thumb on
the edge of it and seem to have better luck turning it that way.  

Since we're into history... Back in the 50s (or was it the 60s?),
before power steering, cool cats and other hipster doofuses used to put
knobs on their steering wheels to make one handed driving a little
easier.  That left the other hand available for squeezing their
squeezes.  Those knobs earned a reputation for ultimately killing the
driver so they earned the name "suicide knobs".  You can still get them
here: http://www.thehotrodgirl.com/suicideknobs.html

One could apply the same concept to the encoder disc and glue a small
bump of plastic to it to give the thumb something to hold onto.  Unlike
suicide knobs, it probably would not result in the death of the
operator.

Once these devices hit the market, you can expect the usual leeches and
other parasites to arrive and start selling screen protectors, encoder
disk bumps, improved range "antennas" that stick under the battery,
etc., and lets not forget the "high-end" guys who will come up with
expensive modifications to the controller that use premium components
and will make "astronomical", "huge", or "stupendous" improvement to
the sound of your system.  They are hard at work even as you read this,
inventing their marketing BS.
