commenting so i can see how large your knob is.

As knobs go, I think it's about average. But it's my knob which makes it special.

it's not about size, its about what you can do with it.

Jokes aside, is the rotary encoder locked specifically for volume up, or have you mapped it to something else entirely?

It is not locked. I'm using Vial with the board right now which allows both directional turns and the press to be reconfigured. Pretty much any key can be mapped to any of those three functions.

Thanks! While I think your caution is warranted, there are plenty of vendors that sell reasonably-priced kits for well under < $100. MechWild is a great example & they have a number if interesting kits in stock in addition to the Waka.

I second the Mechwild nod, bought one board and after building it up have three more in various stages of built/ordered/GB. Their prices are VERY refreshing for how expensive this hobby gets, and my Clunker sounds amazing for being a simple caseless build Their discord is very getup with build progress advice and quite a few of their boards have case options at p3dstore if you wanted to step it up further
