Windows 10: Looking for a simple, portable bluetooth volume knob/encoder

I'm searching for a simple, portable bluetooth controller for master volume of Windows 10. Asking Google gives me results like the Griffin PowerMate (which is Mac only and expensive) or some Microsoft "shuttle thing" (build for another propose, also 80+ bucks).

Basically I want this: https://blog.prusaprinters.org/3d-print-an-oversized-media-control-volume-knob-arduino-basics/ but I don't have a screwdriver.

Is there an available, manufactured and assembled product that can control my master volume via bluetooth (preferrably a simple, portable, stylish knob).

HD7 Volume knob question...

Hi,

I purchased the HD7 on December from a T-mobile store in Chicago. I noitced that the volume knob was flimsy, but didn't think much of it(I know dumb...) The 14 days of return are long gone and now this flimsy volume knob constantly rattles when the phone
vibrates or when I move it. The knob works, but it's just the high pitched sound that it porduces everytime it rattles that's driving me crazy.

Am I the only one with this problem or are there more out there(because I know of 3 others that had the same problem)... is the only way to fix this through HTC?

Unable to create simple volume on new 1TB hard drive

Just got a brand new HP computer with windows 10 Pro (64bit) preinstalled on an SSD. I am now adding a 1TB sata hard drive for storing data files. New HDD is installed as Disk 1 and is seen by Windows 10. I initialized it as an MBR basic disc. When I try to go to the next step of creating a volume, I right click on disk 1 and there is no option available to create a new simple volume. There are other volume options (mirror, raid, etc) but they are all greyed out. Simple is not even listed as an option. I went to DISKPART and using clean command, took it back to the start, then initialized it as a GBT. That didn't make a difference. Now I'm back to MBR again. I also did a List Volume command under DISKPART and confirmed there is no volume on this drive. I'm stuck. How can I get this drive to the point where I can format it and use it?
Thanks!
