honestly if dj tech tools sold some high quality painted jog wheel plates for the vci I would deffinitly buy them! Even tho i painted mine black already it would be nice to have something that looks very professional or maybe even different colour or design options, just throwing that out there..
painted mine black, and recently put some sticky vinyl over them to finish the look, but left an exposed edge to keep sensitivity.
tbh i don’t scratch though just use them for pitch bend more often than not and having an ‘unsensitive majority’ is actually working better for me, especially when doing the shrink a loop a small as possible and pitch bend it thing. can go mad on the wheel now and no danger of clipping the wrong part and coming out of the loop.
