Does anyone know of any dedicated 'mouse emulators' other than nOb Control?

I can't seem to find anything that directly competes with nOb. Would love to find an alternative.

What about the Microsoft Surface Dial and Elephant (https://savethehuman5.com/elephant/). I have this combo and it works well, although I haven't had a chance to use it much as I would like

I tried the Surface Dial with Elephant for a while and personally found it more awkward than I expected. I found myself wishing for something more natively supported by the DAW.

Thank you for pointing this out! It sounds perfect - but I'm unfortunately on a Mac.

OK. Are you using Ableton by any chance? If so, this may get you close:

I do use Ableton, but not exclusively. I will check this out. Thank you!

I'm still shocked that there don't seem to be any direct competitors to nOb Control. I guess it's not that popular a concept after all

I'm not sure why the idea hasn't caught on more... I definitely want something like this, if it works well.

What's wrong with the nOb? It's a fantastic device.

Thanks! I was looking for a less expensive alternative for the nOb Control and this combo may be it.
Going to order them today.

Nothing at all wrong nOb! It's just that it's sold out at the moment. Also, I've read that overseas shipping has taken months in some cases due to the current global situation. I believe that nOb can only be purchased directly through the makers themselves.

Excellent! The developer is very responsive, as well, which is a plus.

i waited about a month for mine, not overseas - but it's amazing. Best controller i ever bought.
i missed about three "back in stock"

there's also this: https://kontrolmaster.com

nOb Control alternatives?
