Default firmware

The Ploopy Knob ships with QMK preloaded.

Want to load new firmware onto your Ploopy Knob? Loading new firmware is fast and easy, and doesn’t require anything except your computer. Check out our guide here. It includes a full set of instructions on loading new firmware. You can load new firmware with tools like QMK Toolbox or the QMK Configurator.

A note for macOS users: macOS does smoothing for input devices automatically. This interferes with the code that runs on the Knob, meaning that pixel-by-pixel high-resolution scrolling doesn’t work on macOS. It still functions as a scrolling device, but the scrolling is in discrete steps. For this reason, we state that the Knob is currently only supported on Windows and Linux.
