10 years ago you could get knobs that would "stick" onto a
laptop/monitor
screen and sent control data. Nothing new under the sun. That
was actually
a real product. I'm 99.9% certain that the company who did it is
out of
business.
Paul, I'm curious, do you remember the name of the product or company?
