Wooting unveiled a modular, programmable knob accessory for its keyboards during the Computex trade show in Taipei, Taiwan [1].
This hardware expansion allows users to move beyond simple volume adjustments by offering extensive programmable options. By adding a physical interface that can be mapped to various software functions, the company aims to increase the utility of its keyboard ecosystem for power users and gamers.
The device was demonstrated this week at Computex 2026 [1]. The goal is to provide functionality that exceeds the capabilities of a standard volume dial, the manufacturer said [1]. The modular nature of the accessory suggests a focus on customization, allowing users to integrate the knob into their existing hardware setup.
Pricing for the accessory remains a point of contention among reports. One source said the modular knob will be sold for 80 HE, which is approximately €80 [1]. However, other reports from the event have not confirmed a specific price point [2].
Wooting has not provided a specific release date, though the product is expected to arrive later this year [1]. The company continues to position itself as a disruptor in the gaming peripheral market by focusing on high-degree customization and modularity.

The introduction of a programmable modular knob signals a shift toward 'deconstructed' hardware in the gaming industry. By allowing users to add physical controllers as needed, Wooting is moving away from the fixed-layout model of traditional keyboards and toward a more flexible, user-defined interface.
