Neat and work EXACTLY as expected.
For SoundSlide
For 15$ CAD (what I paid) you can't go wrong with this tiny USB-C Volume slider.
Do you yearn for the days of the old Toshiba Satelite Pro with a physical volume slider? Then this is the product for you.
It slots in to any USB-C port, is detected as a keyboard, and you can slide your volume up and down to your heart's content.
The item works exactly as described, is completely plug and play, and it has worked on every device I've tried it on (Steam deck, Pixel 8a, several Windows machines).
People have asked me what use I could possibly have for a physical volume slider, and to be honest, it is not necessairily better than current volume controls, but I happen to really like physical interfaces, and the SoundSlide puts a physical volume interface on whatever USB-C device you put it on.
I have rated everything a 5 here in my reivew incliuding shipping and documentation, but I have to make a few caveats:
1. I didn't notice shipping at all. Czech Post seems fine, and interfaced with Canada Post in just the way I would expect. However, this was not an item I was waiting for expectantly. This was a neat impulse buy while I was scrolling Tindie on the toilet one day. I forgot about it, it arrived as a surprise, and a week later the creator emailed me personally to make sure I recieved it.
2. I don't remember the documentation. This thing just got plugged in to my phone, then my computer and worked out of the box, so god only knows what was in the documentation i didn't read or notice. You don't need documentation for this item.
3. Communication was more than 5 stars! The creator reached out to me to ensure I got the product. He didn't need to do that, and I found him pleasant and friendly.
TLDR:
Couldn't be more happy with this product and its price.
Works exactly as expected, out of the box.
Pros:
Physical volume control!
Works out of the box!
Works on everything I tried it on!
Cons:
occupies a USB-C port (only an issue on machines with few ports)
Recomendation:
Buy this thing if you want what it does!
