To kind of get this thread back on topic, did you notice that someone got a shot of what appears to be a production steering wheel. It's got the little horn icon deboss and white arrows next to the rollers. Interestingly the roller markers are set to left and right but not up and down.
I'm still assuming it would go up and down as well (volume for example) - but can you limit a roller ball to just straight up and down and left right? Or would it be more like the bottom of an old school mouse in that case? (goes any direction)
If it went any direction why just have left-right icons?
