Panel mount trimpots?

[brand0nized]

I can't seem to find panel mounted trim pots, like the ones used in the Mooer mini pedals..

I'm looking for trim pots that I can turn with my finger and not need a coin or a screwdriver. Preferably black, so it looks nicer

Anyone know where to get em?

Well sort of.  These need to be mounted to a PCB and do not have a nut to secure to a panel.

Those are the ones moer use. The moer ones just poke through holes iirc

Yep.

To use them, you need to devise some sort of panel with other fixed components to keep them in place.

Malekko, MI Audio, and a bunch of other manufacturers also use the exact same type of pots.

Not to blow my own trumpet, but I did something with these recently and it was really fun to devise an implementation.
You can always design them in Eagle or other CAD as a board mounted pot between other pots or board mounted switches

Plastic shaft pcb mounted pots are a cool idea, i think the would suit controls that are less used or not as important as others (like bias, or fine tuning).  Pretty sure actually that is what mooer use them for.  I would definitely go this route if i wanted an 'external trimmer'.  Rather then...and external trimmer...

Perfect! Thank you! +points for finding a more common store so I don't have to do a separate order!

I'm thinking to mount it with just a strip of vero, and mount that with pcb standoffs or screws to give it a steampunk-ish look on the top
