FlexControl: We need an upgraded version with a few more function buttons

I've gone back and forth between using SmartSDR on my computer with a FlexControl knob and my Maestro.
I prefer running SmartSDR on my computer and the Maestro is currently sitting on my bench unused. The Maestro will probably make its way to my office so I can operate remote when a DXPedition is up and running.
That being said I think Flex should come out with an upgraded FlexControl knob. It needs a few more mode buttons and maybe dual control knobs for SO2R operations.

Hi Rich, Would this idea for a Maestro-based flexcontrol do what you want? It has 25 votes so far and if you like the concept add your comments, support and a vote. https://community.flexradio.com/flexradio/topics/maestrocontrol-the-next-generation-flexcontrol Regards, Al / NN4ZZ0

Not sure how I missed that one Al when I did my initial search this morning.
Yes I like the idea and it would do what I wanted.
I would like it to lay on the desk at a slight angle like the FlexControl does.
Thanks
