PM @Netforce about getting some free wheel covers. People have given instructions on how to use them in this thread. Use the search function to find them. There is also a video link with instructions.
It was a mostly tongue in cheek comment - audio is my relaxation from my job and lifestyle in the real world, so it isn't actually causing any stress, trust me. It's just a crazy design considering the high quality of the other ergonomics and the stellar SQ. Still, better it sounds good and works a little funny than the other way around!
I received the machine with the new click wheel. It seems to work fine, but you need to be careful to keep your finger in the middle. Otherwise, you brush and activate the buttons. If you are having problems, lick your finger, and wipe it dry. That works great.

Do any veteran owners on here have any good stress-management techniques for dealing with scroll-when related mental tension? One day in and the sound is fantastic but using the wheel compared to something like the X5ii is like trying to hit a dartboard in the dark with both your hands stapled to your forehead. Who designed this thing?!
How about the stress of being a blind dude and trying to use the X5, not knowing where you are in the UI? The QP1R has tactile response, you don't have to use the wheel and the QP doesn't emit a horiffic CRACK when you try to turn it on.

Thx for that info Quadfather, however I am in the UK so am seeing any reference to the update on the websites I am looking at.
PS, you ever play Quake? Quadfather! Excellent clan name for Quake. LOL.
Hey guys, just made this post in the other thread but next week for those making out to The Source AV event I will be bringing out a new wheel QP1R and an old version QP1R for those who want to hear and compare.
Hi @Netforce If I were to look to buy one of these in the UK, how would I know I was getting the new version QP1R? As you are aware, there are a lot of places to buy one, so just asking.......
LOL. I have 17 year old quadruplets. Two boys and two girls with an older sister. I am sorry, but I am not sure, short of calling customer service lines of online retailers in the UK.

Haha. Brilliant! Quads indeed! Just reading your name took me back to a happy place years ago with my clan mates at the time. How I miss my old dial up connection! NOT!
My mate and I both had ISDN lines installed....... blimey, I was off on a long post then, sorry.
