I hope the replacement knob lasts a bit longer... The metal part that supports the shaft is longer, and I believe the rated cycles were higher too. I got a slightly different Alps model than it came with originally.

But yeah I get what you're saying. If it weren't so darned tight in there I could fit a better encoder, but I haven't seen much that will fit.

If the debounce were programmable, perhaps I could reduce it now and then bump it up when the knob starts to wear out.
