    Just for the record… it has to do with practicality.

    the notches are spaced similar to a clock, but with the deadzone most potentiometers have, it doesn’t go a full 360 around, so they stop at 11. This makes for an intuitive scale with familiar spacing on the notches- even if it is entirely arbitrary.

      Based off of my peripheral I really thought that deadzone was Saddam for a second
