The Anavi Knob 1 kit is a tiny input device with a single rotary encoder with a clickable switch, powered via a Seeed XIAO RP2040 with a USB-C connection.

It’s a tiny input device with a single rotary encoder with a clickable switch and an RGB LED. You can turn it left, you can turn it right, and you can click it! It’s fully programmable with the popular open-source KMK firmware – an advanced but easy-to-use firmware written in CircuitPython (QMK is also supported). The board also has an IC slot you can use to add peripherals, for example, a mini OLED display.

It can be customized to fit various use cases: video or audio editing, entertainment broadcasting, gaming, programming and more. Boost your productivity with precise control and helpful lighting effects. Getting started is easy! Just connect the device to your Windows, MacOS, or GNU/Linux computer with a USB Type-C cable (not included) and youre ready to go.

Note: assembly required! USB-C cable required (not included)
