1. An electronic device for controlling a heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system, the electronic device comprising:

  • a processor configured to generate a graphical user interface; and

    an electronic display configured to display the graphical user interface;

    wherein the graphical user interface comprises a menu of discrete display elements, wherein, upon a first stimulus, a first of the discrete display elements is shifted out of full view on the electronic display while a second of the discrete display elements is shifted into full view on the electronic display, and wherein the first and second of the discrete display elements appear spatially related to one another when the first of the discrete display elements is shifted out of full view on the electronic display and the second of the discrete display elements is shifted into full view on the electronic display; and

    a rotating ring user input interface, wherein the rotating ring user input interface is configured to provide the first stimulus when the rotating ring user input interface is rotated a first direction and the first of the discrete display elements is fully visible on the electronic display, wherein the first of the discrete display elements is shifted out of full view on the electronic display while the second of the discrete display elements is shifted into full view on the electronic display based on a speed at which the rotating ring user input interface is rotated.
