This is really the fanciest, best feeling knob we've ever seen. Using this knob sort of reminded us of driving along the Amalfi coast in a perfectly restored '65 Porsche - meaning we really, really liked it. We hand selected the best knobs for your project in different sizes and varieties. This one's the Solid Machined Metal Knob - 1".
It has a nice, weighted feel that spins easily and doesn't sacrifice versatility or comfort for durability. It feels solid, much more so than a knob with a plastic inside and metal shell. There's a grooved rubber band that fits in an indented section of the knob for easy grip and a clear white arrow on the top so you know where you're turning to or from.
Best of all, we include a small set screw so this beautiful knob works on both our Potentiometers and Rotary Encoder making it incredibly useful whether you're rotating to a position with a potentiometer or you just want something that rotates all the way around.
