Softpot Rotary Potentiometer

Overview

Introducing the Softpot Rotary Potentiometer from MOKWN – a thin, flexible, and lightweight rotary variable resistor that brings precise analog input to your projects. Unlike traditional rotary potentiometers, this softpot design uses a soft membrane that you can rotate with your finger, providing an intuitive and durable interface for measuring angular position. Perfect for makers, hobbyists, and engineers in Egypt, this potentiometer offers a resistance range of 0 to 10k Ohms, making it an excellent choice for volume controls, position sensing, and creative user interfaces.

Key Features
