From the makers that brought you the Zorbfu, now introducing the new and improved Ploopy! Pair it with a 37bit Hwangwe and kiss your productivity problems toodle-loo!
But seriously, what is the use case for this? I can't think of any workflow that could be improved with another scroll wheel.
Audio mixing, Photoshop, Blender, CAD, etc.
Lots of creative applications.
FWIW, Ploopy is a massive force in the open source hardware game. Mice, trackballs (their specialty), headphones, and lots of other items.
I do audio mixing and having another scroll wheel is very nice up to a certain point. Per track volume, master volume, send volume, panning, scrubbing, jogging and fine jogging, track height, nudge....
I'd have to go look but I have something like 12 rotational devices programmed (it's a macro pad with a bunch of layers and 3 wheels). Some of them I don't use very often. Some get used every time I sit down. Because of them and way too many hours planning and setting my macros I rarely touch my mouse or keyboard anymore. It's either done at the mixer or on the macropad.
ETA: I just looked again. The way it works would be incredibly cool for jogging the play head a single tick at a time. I already have a solution for that, but if I didn't I would totally give this a try.
