He uses an Atmel ATtiny85 with an encoder, so it can be a pain in the **s, my version features an Arduino Micro (important, since only single processor arduinos can simulate HID devices) and a PS2 joystick.
His idea only allows to change brush size by turning the knob and switching brush and eraser tool alternatively, my version allows to change brush size (y axis), rotate between the six more used tools (by me, but can be customized on Arduino IDE), and pressing the joystick sends the most useful shortcut: ctrl + 0
Or you can use it as Arduino micro holder ^_^
--------------- UPDATE --------------
After few days using the device, found it more useful than I thought and I eventually need another one, to avoid building a second one, added a switch, so can change its behaviour, also added room for the switch itself and a cap. Even if you don't need the extra room for the switch, I recommend you to print the v2, it has a better grip, specially if your hands are big like mine ^_^
--------------- FINAL UPDATE --------------
I've been trying alternative designs and as of today the only one available will be the most recent.
