SoundSlide: The $18 USB-C Accessory That Simplifies Volume Control
Czech company Drake Labs has introduced a new USB-C accessory that promises to make adjusting your computer’s volume easier and more intuitive. Called the SoundSlide, this touch-sensitive device lets you control your PC’s volume by swiping your finger across its surface. It’s plug-and-play, meaning it works immediately once connected to any USB-C port, without the need for additional drivers.
Drake Labs aims to address the lack of easy-to-access audio controls in modern laptops, which often prioritize sleekness over functionality. The SoundSlide is compact, measuring only 20.9 x 6.9 x 3.5 mm, and is priced at just $18 on Amazon, offering a simple solution for users who want hassle-free volume adjustments while immersed in movies, music, or gaming.
As an added bonus, SoundSlide is open-source, giving users the opportunity to dive into the design and code if they wish to customize it. For anyone looking to improve their laptop or PC’s volume control with a small, functional, and affordable gadget, SoundSlide is a worthwhile option.
