Massage knob

This Massage Encoder Knob is a dual-mode DJ knob designed for comfort and precise control. The knob features a ring of massage bumps around the entire circumference, allowing your fingers to relax while you play. In its resting position, the knob sits low and the textured outer surface works as a gentle finger massager during pauses or transitions.

When you lift the knob by about 3 mm, it switches into its standard operating mode and behaves just like a normal encoder knob. This gives you accurate rotational control without losing the unique tactile feel. The design follows the common dimensions for standard DJ encoder shafts, ensuring a secure and reliable fit.

This knob is ideal for DJs who enjoy playful ergonomics, want a more comfortable feel during long sets, or simply like adding personality to their gear. It prints easily, installs in seconds, and provides a fun combination of functionality and tactile feedback.
