A fully-customizable Windows 11 driver and GUI for the Griffin PowerMate USB knob (discontinued 2018). Supports every knob interaction — rotate left/right, single/double/triple press, long press, and press-while-rotating — with per-application profiles, rich action bindings (volume, media, mute, keyboard shortcuts, macros, scroll, launch), full LED control, a translucent on-screen display overlay, and a system tray icon.
Requires the WinUSB driver to be installed via Zadig (see README).
