Does the volume knob "click" when you turn, or is it smooth/no click turning? I prefer the click for tactile feedback.

yes it does have a click feel to it as you increase or decrease the volume, it isn't smooth

No "clicking" but a smooth intuitive turn of the control knob. No problem unless you crave the feed back.

if I had problems with the stereo volume when I turn the stereo volume is ascended to 16, turn it off and ran down the volume and lit and was returning to rise.

Yes, it is notched when you turn the volume. It also supports volume buttons on the steering wheel, however certain cars like mine required an adapter.

Has anyone figured out if reversing the focus direction is possible yet? It is currently counterintuitive with my setup (rotating the top of the knob away, focuses closer, but it would be intuitive for this to focus further). Thanks!

As a man I don't mind clicky buttons and can't imagine most men would, either. But I own 4 of these things and they all make some slight noise when pressed. On some it's a very slight click and on another it's got a little squeak like an unoiled hinge. It clicks when you release the button too. Nothing big. That noise will increase a little over time as coffee solids deposit on the inner workings of the lid.

Swipe your hand over the control buttons from left to right not even pushing down hard... and it comes off mute. I have no idea why this works, but it does.

As they get older, it does seem that the knob will have some crackle and eventually probably wear out when adjusting volume. It's the one thing I've seen go bad after 8 years of use, but that said, you shouldn't have too much trouble with it in the first couple years of use.

Blake, it makes a pleasing clicking sound that can be volume adjusted. You can also plug headphones in if you like. You need to configure it, as it is not on by default as I recall. Great little unit. I use it for rockhounding and identifying NORM.

As far as I remember it does effect the tone itself. I usually don't mess with the tone knob. I set at mid-point and leave it alone.

Also trying to decide between the two sizes. I think I have read that the control buttons on the larger, 3.5" unit are harder to find and use than those on the smaller, 2.8" unit. Can anyone confirm this? I think I read that the volume control requires use of a drop down menu on the larger -- hard to do when sleepy at night. Am I right or wrong? Thanks.

Well that depends on the volume setting. If you set the volume high enough you will hear the "sizzle". I usually turn the volume up till I hear the sizzle & then back it off until it just stops, that seems to be a comfortable level. Sometimes if I need the volume louder for some reason I turn it up into the sizzle level & after a few minutes my ear gets accustomed to the sound & I no longer notice it.

its at normal volume for a click :D, not extremely quite like Apple's mouse but the sound is not disturbing at all

I never accidentally pressed the side buttons on this unit. They feel very clicky to me.

Thanks, but I'm not talking about the clicker. The newest model (came out about 3-6 mths ago) has no sound at all with the clicker off. The older version does have a soft clicking sound even with the clicker off. Just trying to find out which one these are before buying. Thanks.

yes. twist the volume knob all the way to the left. it feels like you are breaking it. but thats the off

I listened carefully and heard only the faintest click or two going into full invert. Never notice before and do not , in my case, think it is anything of concern. The mechanism is still extremely smooth and quiet. Make sure the device is set for the height of the person using it.

Yes. Pushing buttons controls volume, holding down moves through tracks. Great product so far!

hmmm, it has a soft click, not as loud as some -- I really don't notice it. The click is not sharp like many keyboards, but soft.

Yes, it does have a distinctive " clicky feel " to it when it scrolls. I personally prefer it over the other type.It feels intuitive and I am quite used to this type of feel. I feel that I can control the speed more easily -but that may just be very subjective.
