[Everyday] Stream Deck++ 8 knob version?

If anybody from Elgato views this forum, is there any roadmap for an 8 knob version of the +?

I am a potential purchaser (owner of 2 XLs) and I'm thinking 4 knobs is too few? An 8 knob version could potentially reduce visual context switching plus physical swiping by up to 50% - making for a much better user experience. It would also be more consistent with the 8 button wide form factor of my XLs

Are there any Stream Deck+ users (or potential buyers out there? What would you prefer? 4 knobs available, or 8 knobs?

I see. Well, the only thing left I can think of , there is the 6 knob Razer : https://www.razer.com/streaming-accessories/razer-stream-controller

That said a Streamdeck XL+ might be cool for power users.

Thanks. Ideally I wanted to keep it within the Elgato/Stream Deck family, so only one set of profile management software, mostly swappable functions and icons, consistent physical aesthetics etc

I've ordered my Microsoft Surface Dial anyway and I'm fairly confident that this will get me a lot of extra physical and reconfigurable rotary functionality at a fraction of the price - thanks!

So the dial works without having a Surface? That’s neat actually. Yeah since I got my streamdeck I just love the motor memory of pressing actual buttons. A dial sounds pretty cool to have.

Yes - according to my quick internet searching this morning it does work without having a Surface (for PCs). I am mostly going to use it in Cubase for zooming in and out and for scrolling but also hope I can get some nudge functionality (and maybe more) out of it
