Spotify & Music

A media deck with a real volume knob.

Role EverydayFollows com.spotify.client · com.apple.MusicLayout 27 controlsThemes Razer Huntsman RGB

The Media Deck follows Spotify, Music, Podcasts and TV: a big Play key, Previous, Next and Mute; Shuffle, Repeat and Like; Seek; a volume fader, preset volume keys, a brightness knob and the big volume knob. The knob mirrors the Mac’s output both ways: turn the Mac down and the knob turns with it.
