Swipe to control your laptop’s volume with this tiny USB-C accessory
Czech company Drake Labs has just released a new USB-C accessory called SoundSlide, a touch-sensitive device that can be used to control the volume of your computer by swiping your finger.
SoundSlide plugs into any USB-C port on your PC and doesn’t require any drivers to be installed. It’ll work right out of the box, and you can easily adjust your PC’s volume by tapping or swiping on it.
“Modern laptops are designed for sleekness and portability, but they often come at the cost of easily accessible audio controls. Whether you’re deeply immersed in your favorite movies or music, adjusting your laptop’s volume shouldn’t be a hassle,” writes Drake Labs.
The SoundSlide measures a miniscule 20.9 x 6.9 x 3.5 mm in size and only costs $18 on Amazon. And as an added bonus, all the core elements of SoundSlide are open source, so you can explore and expand the design and code if you’re interested.
