About

The k•no•b•1 is Work Louder's tactile control surface for creative software — a milled aluminum block housing twelve hot-swappable mechanical keys and a substantial machined dial that scrubs, zooms, and adjusts anything you map it to. The dial is the point: rotating it feels weighted and definite, the way a good camera focus ring does. Underneath, QMK/VIA firmware lets you remap every key and dial gesture per application, so Lightroom, Ableton, and Figma all get their own layer without touching your main keyboard. It's for people whose day involves a lot of "twist this and see what happens" — colorists, mixers, editors, designers — and who want a control they can feel through their fingertips.
