Replacement knobs for MPC X/Live

my q-link knobs are starting to get loose and aren't as responsive as when my MPC X was new.
so i went to buy some nice looking solid aluminium potentiometer knobs on aliexpress. even though they seemed fine according to measurements, they don't really work. i think the shaft hole is too deep and not touching the rotary switches on the top.

does anybody know some new poti knobs that work? they have to be black aluminium and i don't wanna get the overpriced ones from mpcstuff.

here are the knobs that didn't work:

Bummer that they didn't work out for you man, maybe it's the black coating that's making them non capacitive, my silver knobs work fine if not better than the original ones..

really is yeah, would you mind sharing a link to the ones you've bought?

thanks for sharing. i see that the poti knob that you choose is also available in black. do you think it's too risky to get a black one due to the black coating? i don't know anything about electronics but metal on metal should be working right?

Gotta be straight with you, I'd be guessing, all I know is the silver ones work well..

MPCstuff seems overpriced but they are a major part of MPC history.

If u want to see that legacy continue, you gotta pay a premium.
If u spend as much time on your machine as many of us do, its an investment like the MPC bible.

I don't have a problem with the price their components, it's the totally insane international shipping prices that I take issue with, a set of fat pads for the MPC one is like 32gbp... The shipping is 50gbp.. that's straight up ridiculous, I'd want it delivered by space X next day for that..

no offense, but mpcstuff really isnt that premium. premium is something like jazzcat and ghostinmpc do.
if they would selling switches and knobs for a reasonable price, i would absolutely buy me some, but they don't imo.
