1. A force-scalable stationary interface control comprising:

  • a knob-like structure including an axis and a fixed surface located at least partially around the axis;

    a touch sensor located at least partially around the fixed surface, the touch sensor configured to sense a plurality of different levels of applied pressure and locations of touch input;

    at least one output device; and

    a controller coupled to the touch sensor and the at least one output device, the controller configured to;

    identify a first level of applied pressure sensed at the touch sensor, identify a scrolling action based on a detected change in locations of the touch input sensed at the touch sensor, identify a current scale of the scrolling action based on an identified first level of applied pressure, and control the at least one output device to provide an identified current scale and an identified scrolling action.
