This is "krill" a 3d printed, handwired 40% keyboard I designed using FreeCAD.

My main use is to mute/unmute the microphone on push - like a big panic button.

For rotation it is left/right, backspace/delete, volume down/up, brightness down/up depending on the current layer.

Left/right, backspace/delete sounds so interesting. Does it work well for you?

Well, to be honest: Before I had the knob on my keyboard, I had an O+P combo for Ctrl+Backspace to delete the last word. I still use that more frequently than the knob. For left/right I should probably try to use it more often.
