Would you sacrifice a USB-C port for this volume control you can swipe?

The $15 SoundSlide solves a problem that few would consider an actual problem. It replaces a computer’s volume buttons with a customizable touch-sensitive slider that can be operated using finger swipes. For those who miss volume wheels, it might be worth the upgrade. For everyone else, sacrificing a USB-C port for the SoundSlide might be too big an of an ask.

The SoundSlider attached to the USB-C port on the side of a laptop.
Tired of pressing buttons? The SoundSlider lets you adjust your computer’s volume with a finger swipe.
