I too would like that and perhaps a USB input to accept a PowerMate or mouse for moving across the screen. Both have a click capability and might be easier than a knob mounted vertically that one must press (depends on the force required for the press). I had thought this might be the same

It is amazing to me how there can be so much criticism of the P3 before it has even been put into production and released for sale     The P3 is fully integrated with the K3, and stand-alone (no computer needed). It's the same height and depth as the K3, and about 6 wide -- plenty of extra room
