    Default Where to buy the old DJTT black VCI-100SE knobs?

    I have a Novation Twitch controller and the knobs feel absolutely terrible.

    I'm not too interested in Chroma caps for the Twitch. Instead I would like knobs similar to the S2/S4... The older DJTT VCI-100SE black knobs came to mind.

    Does anyone know where I can buy these?

    Or does anyone want to give up their old S2 or S4 knobs/faders after upgrading to Chroma Caps?

    The vci100 knobs feel no better than the twitch knobs, you can take my word on that. If the knobs on the s2/s4 are anything like the knobs on the f1, then they're barely an upgrade. If color is whats dissuading you, get black chroma caps, they really really are worth it.

    Don't take his word for it.

    I've owned a VCI-100, X1, F1 and Twitch and I agree that the twitch knobs are crappy, they're too smooth which is doubly annoying since they're stiff. I don't know where you can buy better ones, but anything rubberised and notched as opposed to smooth should be an improvement.

    I've owned a Kontrol S2. The stock knobs beat out the Twitch stock knobs by 150%.

    I've also owned Chroma Caps (with the S2) which beat out the S2 stock knobs by 100%, making them 250% better than the stock Twitch knobs. (For those that enjoy percentages.)

    ANYTHING would be better than the stock Twitch knobs as they are completely smooth hard plastic.

    I've never tried the VCI-100 black knobs but I am willing to bet that they are definitely better than the stock Twitch knobs. However, nobody seems to know where to buy them... ???

    I enjoy Chroma Caps but they are expensive and a bit overkill for me right now. I'd rather spend the money on a decksaver for my Twitch.

    Unless I can get some info on where to buy the VCI-100 black knobs (assuming they even fit the Twitch), I have some black Plasti Dip to give the stock Twitch knobs a rubber coating. I'll post results after its finished.

    For my Twitch, I need 14 knobs for the non-endless encoders. Thats the exact number of knobs the VCI-100 has. Thanks a lot! PM me if you find those knobs!!
