USB Touch Sensor Externalizes Volume Control

  October 28th, 2008



We're as puzzled as you are why one would need to install an external volume control that is tethered to a LCD monitor. After all, a wired controller like this is pretty pointless when keyboards and even some mice have dedicated volume control. If you run a bunch of kiosks which some of them lack any HIDs, then this USB touch sensitive control bar may come in handy. Just put your finger on the bar and slide it up and down, and you will have your volume adjusted accordingly. Hold your finger in the same spot for 2 seconds to mute the master audio under Windows 2000, XP & Vista. For rest of us however, you can add $7 more and get yourself a Logitech 2.1 AudioHub USB speakers.
