    Hi,

    My question is, how big are the premium knobs supposed to be? Are they supposed to be smaller than the OEMs?

    From the pictures they looked bigger. They arrived at my house today and was getting ready to install until I saw how small they were.

    OEM = size of a quarter
    Hondo garage premium knob=Size of a nickel

    Thx

    I never really noticed the size compared to OEM since they work so darn well.

    Yeah, the ones I received are definitely smaller than the OEM. Maybe they gave me the wrong ones?

    I ordered the Premium knobs. The one that attach in the bottom.

    We designed the knobs to be smaller in diameter but to stick out farther. This was intentional as the larger depth lets you turn the knob without hitting the screen and the smaller diameter makes it easier to quickly adjust the knob by twisting it in your fingers rather than rotating your whole wrist. The twist is a more controllable motion.
