PowerMate for PC
So, I don't have the PC yet (might go the laptop/docking station route), but was just surfing around and saw this.

I am thinking this thing would be pretty sweet hooked up to scroll through mp3s, pick nav options, etc... Only question is where to mount it...

Looks like the iDrive controller on BMW's. However, I think that controller is intended for music software on the PC. I don't think it can operate as a normal input device, but I do not know for certain. Just giving you fair warning before you purchase it.

PowerMate is the coolest volume **** your computer has ever seen – and so much more. Use it to edit home movies or scroll through long documents and web pages. Best of all, PowerMate is an assignable controller. Program it to do anything you want in any application. Customize it to your own needs and get wild.
Made of high-quality machined aluminum, PowerMate feels like a solid volume **** pulled right off the front of a world-class stereo. Its heavy weight and tactile feel are a welcome departure from typical plastic USB peripherals. PowerMate functions beautifully as a convenient volume **** and mute button for music listening on your PC or Mac. But that’s just the beginning of PowerMate’s possibilities.
Edit movies just like the pros with PowerMate functioning as your very own Jog/Shuttle wheel. Spin PowerMate to scroll through footage and push the integrated button to edit points or cut out unwanted pieces. PowerMate makes editing home movies a breeze and it comes preset to work with iMovie and FinalCut Pro right out of the box.
But the real power of PowerMate is that it’s programmable. Program PowerMate to scroll through long Microsoft Word files and save your document when you push its button. Set PowerMate to scrub through songs in sequencers and music apps. PowerMate can be programmed to do any key command – in any application. Save as many unique settings as you want, PowerMate will remember them all.
PowerMate USB Multimedia Controller & Input Device
Pump Up The Volume- PowerMate is the coolest volume **** your desk has ever seen. Crank up your MP3s and CDs. Then with a push of its button, mute your music to answer the phone and handle the complaints.
Make Movies With A Twist- Edit your video masterpiece with your very own Jog/Shuttle wheel. Use PowerMate to scroll through and trim unwanted footage with the push of a button.
Touch And Glow- Cool blue light glows underneath the PowerMate, showing you visual status of what you’re controlling. Turn the volume up – the glow gets brighter. Push mute – the light turns off. Coolest of all, it pulses hypnotically while your computer sleeps.
Take It For A Scroll- PowerMate is the fastest way to scroll through long text documents, web pages and spreadsheets. With a flick of the wrist, you get to the “bottom” of the story in record time.
Spin Control- PowerMate is an assignable controller. That means you can program it to do anything* you want – in any application. Program the wheel to scroll your email, set the button to switch to your browser. Customize it to your needs and get wild.
