Detent One changelog

Firmware 0.9.2-beta: Quieter Spring, faster Magnet

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Two tester complaints fixed and one we found ourselves. Recommended for everyone on the beta channel.

Improved: Motor PWM moved from 20 kHz to 25 kHz. The faint whine some of you heard in Spring at small deflections is now above hearing range.
Improved: Magnet snaps settle in 38 ms instead of 55 ms, with no extra overshoot.
Fixed: Halo LED 17 flickered at 3% brightness on some units.
Fixed: A long press during a profile switch could register as two presses.

Compare any two profiles side by side, torque curves overlaid, before you save over the one you liked.

New: Profile diff view: parameters in a table, torque curves on one plot, and a one-click revert per field.
New: Linux: automatic per-app switching on KDE Plasma 6 under Wayland.
Fixed: The Premiere Pro plugin lost its connection after Windows 11 woke from sleep.

The Rust crate now does everything the TypeScript package does. Snap providers can be async.

New: The detent crate covers the full profile API, including snap providers and press handlers.
New: Snap providers may return a Promise. Studio keeps the last result for 2 s so the dial never waits on your code.
Changed: feel.wall() takes its stops in degrees, not radians. A codemod ships with the release: npx @detent/codemod wall-degrees.

The force sensor under the knob face is live. Light, firm and hard presses can each do something different.

New: Three pressure levels on the knob face, with thresholds you can set in Studio.
Improved: Wired latency down from 4.8 ms to 3.6 ms after moving HID reports to a 1 kHz interval.
Fixed: Encoder zero drifted by up to 0.3° after six hours at 35 °C. It now recalibrates against temperature.

Two new plugins, and plugins no longer ask you to restart the app they plug into.

New: OBS Studio plugin: switch scenes in Clock, ride mic gain in Wall.
New: Lightroom Classic plugin: exposure and white balance with a detent at zero.
Improved: Plugins install without restarting the host app. DaVinci Resolve still needs one restart; we have asked nicely.

Wireless is now close enough to wired that most testers stopped noticing which one they were on.

Improved: Bluetooth latency down from 15 ms to 11 ms with a shorter connection interval.
New: A third pairing slot. Press and hold for two seconds to cycle between hosts.
Fixed: Reconnecting after a Mac woke from sleep took up to 9 s. It now takes under 1 s.

Detent Studio runs on Linux, packaged three ways, with per-app switching where the desktop allows it.

New: AppImage, .deb and Flatpak builds for x86-64 and ARM64.
New: Per-app switching on X11, and on GNOME Wayland through a small shell extension Studio installs for you.
Known issue: Other Wayland compositors fall back to manual switching: press and turn on the knob.

Profiles live on the device, so it feels right on a machine that has never seen Detent Studio.

Changed: On-device profile storage goes from 16 to 64 slots.
New: Always-on dim mode: the display drops to 1 Hz at 2% brightness after a minute idle and wakes on touch.
Fixed: Clock’s noon detent could land one position early after a fast spin.

The TypeScript SDK and the profile format are open, Apache-2.0, on the same day as the firmware source.

New: SDK repository public under Apache-2.0, with examples for VS Code, Blender and a MIDI bridge.
New: Profile format detent.profile/1 published. A profile is one plain JSON file (base feel, physics, press bindings) you can diff, review and version.
New: Firmware source public, with signed builds so a modified dial can still be told apart.

The sixth profile. It came from our testers, not from us.

New: Magnet: smooth until it finds a snap point, then it pulls you in. Asked for by 23 of 40 early testers.
Improved: Ratchet detent edges are 18% sharper without raising peak current.
Fixed: Wall end stops could be pushed through by about 2° with a hard flick.

The torque curve editor: drag points on a plot, feel the result on the dial as you drag.

New: Torque curve editor with live preview on the connected dial.
New: Export any profile as JSON, import one by dropping the file on the window.
Fixed: The Windows installer asked for admin rights it did not need.
