>Of course, modern controllers exist that offer many more literal bells and whistles...

Anyone have a favorite 'modern controller' for those of us who no longer have a PowerMate?

Microsoft Surface Dial is nice. You'll also need to write a driver...

I love this. PowerMate was the ultimate fidget tool when not scrolling, editing, etc.

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?

I check eBay from time to time, they are usually very expensive.
