Curse you! Now I have to go clean out the attic to find mine.

I have one of these and now all I need to do is find a reason to use the Mac.

Lol I wrote a new driver for the bluetooth one a few months ago.

>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?

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?

Would be great if it could do other things, like be a volume knob, or do media play/pause, given that scrolling and mouse button press seem like things you already have a mouse to do?
