Hi,

?

I am looking for a nice metal replacement knob for the ZbitX. Would be nice if it had a tuning dimple or knurled edges.

?

Prefer a vendor on eBay, Amazon, or Mousser or someone in US.

?

Has anyone replaced theirs?

?

Search Xiegu G90 Knob on Amazon. The first few choices that pop up are what your looking for.?

I bought these ones off amazon for my g90, and they just happen to fit the zBitx as well. Nicely knurled aluminum with a rubber band around the middle for extra grip

Can’t seem to edit my previous post to add a picture, so here it is.

The message cannot be edited afterwards.
I would like to draw the attention of those who want to replace the rotary knob to the fact that the encoder shaft is very thin. Do not load it with a heavy knob, because it can easily break and you may have to look for the possibility of purchasing the encoder, which is not easy, because it is not the usual locking encoder. Don't ask how I know.

I'll specify the location of the break: it wasn't the shaft, but the threaded aluminum casting that broke in the neck. I accidentally hit the knob with something.
At the time, I didn't know that it was hard to get a non-click encoder, so I just clipped the connecting legs.
Thinking about the repair in retrospect, it might be possible to repair the break with metal glue. I'll probably try it.

To fix encoders with detents is straightforward. Unclip the cover, remove it and the shaft, push down on the detent spring, and reassemble.
