I can’t help bu think that people are just barking at the wrong tree with this wheel.. IMHO it’s not the wheel, but the overall design (wheel + its UI) that is, well, sub-par, to say the least.
I would have loved it, clicks or not, if not this awkward behavior of first entering the, say, zoom mode with first rotation, and only then, with second rotation, actually changing the focal length (in fixed focal lengths mode).
Imaging you drive a car, turn steering wheel, and the car, instead of turning, displays nice diagram on HUD with “Turn mode, please turn the wheel again to turn” on it. This is how it feels for me with my RX100M2.
I for one would have easily traded 4mm on the lens’ short end and a whole stop on the long end for a fix to this bogus design.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
