Meet deej!
deej is a physical voulume mixer. Just like the volume mixer built into windows, just physical! This means that you can change the volume of an application without closing your important game. You can turn the game volume down and Discord volume up, when someone joins the call, and turn the Spotify volume up when your beat comes on. Since it sits right beside your keyboard you can quickly change volume, for example if a game has a loud intro music (looking at you Civ 6).

Is there a reason you went with the dotmatrix software instead of deej software?

[@Ananords]

DotMatrixLab's software has a GUI, which makes setting up and configurations much easier. It also has Midi support, which allows me to use it with Voicemeeter:)

[@Nacho119]

@@Ananords I've just completed mine, thanks for the cool design and helpful video👍(and indeed, the dotmatrix app is way easier to set up than the original deej files)

[@Linuxdirk]

That PCB really makes a difference. So clean on the inside 😍

[@benbaybay4397]

This is really cool, can’t wait to see what you post next!!

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

I ordered this after seeing the LTT video (I assume many others did as well) I can't wait to get it in the mail. I am printing my case right now. I did end up changing spotify to youtube music and firefox to chrome on my faceplate though.

[@karmanov2004]

This is what I like, put it together and works. Nothing extra.👍

[@buoiii5737]

Amazinggg !!!! your work so far is spectacular.

[@bitdrive7971]

Sick ! I’d love to get my hands on a Electronics kit of that to make a wood case for it!

Same

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Got mine built today and love it. For those that are building this with little experience. You will need to download the arduino IDE to flash your arduino nano (you will have to select arduino nano as the board type) In the deej config file you will also need to set "invert_sliders: false" to "invert_sliders: true" You will also have to reorder the sliders to match your printed case. All in all its very simple. My only complaint is with the deej software itself which I can't even really blame for this. Its that there isn't really just a simple "game volume" option. You have to manually add games to your config file which could be very annoying for people who play a ton of games. Thankfully I play like 3 games so it wasn't hard to add them but it would have been nice if it automatically assigned games to a certain fader.

[@xstream77]

I love it. Nice Project 👍🏻

[@hassiebassie19]

Can you also include music buttons: Play/pause, previous, next. To this device?

[@PadepokanCodotMerah]

what if I want to add a mic volume controller, how do I write (add) it in settings ? And whether this tool can change the volume to 0% (mute)

[@karanvarindersingh8182]

is there anyway i can add mute button and headphone mic mute button in it ?

[@targetdummy4785]

This is so cool. Maybe a 0.96" Oled to show thhe icon on the Win volume mixer. Just an I dea I was thinking about.

[@muzzy1013]

hi there , is it possible if i want to make each knob to increase 20% or capped at 50% volume?

[@traceparadox]

Hey Man Amazing Video!

[@Ananords]

Thanks!

[@ohhhsnap17]

are there any rgb sliders that would work with this pcb ?

[@evert4205]

Awesome. Only point is that it needs some weight.

[@nexferius]

cool!

[@ct8350]

Add some lead weights and some rubber feet! Good job.

[@tihjoga]

Hello, can I do this project using a Raspbarry Pi Pico? Because it's the only one I have!

[@jatinking2075]

can i customize it, i don't want mozilla firefox

[@dr.vitaminrot]

Wow so nice

[@OzzyScuba]

Nice work. Itś possible make one with 8 faders????

[@apo7287]

hi just wondering what is the difference between DEEJ - PCB V1 and DEEJ - PCB V2 and how long will I have to wait for DEEJ - PCB V2

[@Ananords]

Hi! The V1 of the PCB has a little error, where the markings on the PCB is wrong. It has no effect on usage:) V2 is ready to ship around the end of August.

[@heatertony]

do you plan to restock the product? i want one :D

[@SnowFootprints96]

I can't seem to find information on the difference between the v1 and V2

[@RocksSocks]

There are 2 more screws that secure the arduino into place in v2 that are not included in v1

[@MrQwertyman5000]

Hi i have been trying to preorder the pcb but it keeps giving the "Billing Pre order Date is a required field" but there is no field to input. I dont know where else to contact you.

[@Ananords]

Hi! That was weird.. Did you try to order V1 or V2? Can you try again with a different browser?

[@MrQwertyman5000]

@@Ananords V2 i did try with chrome and opera GX. didnt work on both.

[@Ananords]

You can try again now. Please note that shipping will not start before the end of August:)

[@darknessblades]

Personally I would have used QMK, which opens a lot more features you can add to it

[@philldesigner]

Muito top!!!!

[@imcubanbe3841]

@ananords are you still shipping? I am willing to buy just need to know if I the orders are still in pre-order?

@@Ananords Hello, I sent you a DM on Discord. I would like to purchase one but would like it to be black, the dials white and the icons to be white.

[@outward_lizard8961]

Is the soldering required or just to keep everything in place

[@Ananords]

The soldering is required, as that is what makes up the electrical connections. If you want an already assembled version you can check out dotmatrixlabs.com :)

[@serialflipper5857]

I'm interested in purchasing a kit. Do you have an estimate on a restock? I'm thinking about doing this as my first electronics project as its something I've been wanting anyway. Thank you!

[@Ananords]

Hi! I am in the process of moving to another distributor. Hopefully that process is done soon, and I can get the kits back in stock! Unfortunately I am unable to provide a date just now...

[@serialflipper5857]

@@Ananords thank you! This may be a dumb question, but if I buy the parts individually is there anything special I'd have to do to the Arduino board or would it be ready to install?

[@Ananords]

You will have to upload the code to the Arduino board, and that's it:)
