00:00If you're into DIY electronics, building guitar pedals, or just tired of hunting for the right
00:04knob, you've probably noticed how weirdly expensive these tiny pieces of plastic can get.
00:10So I went down the rabbit hole and found the best deals for the top 5 potentiometer knob caps,
00:15ranked by what people are actually buying. Let's get into it.
00:20First up, the bestseller of the bunch. This is a 30-piece set of WH-148 knobs,
00:2715x17mm with a 6mm switch button cap, and you get 6 colors to choose from, yellow, orange,
00:33blue, white, red, and green. Nearly 4,700 sold and sitting at a 4.8 rating, which tells you
00:40everything. At just $2.86, that's under 10 cents per knob, so if you're stocking a workshop or just
00:47want spares for every color-coded project, this is the obvious starting point.
00:52Next, basically the same deal but with a twist, 30 pieces of WH-148 knobs in the same 15x17mm size,
00:59except the slot comes in 5 colors instead of 6. Sounds like a downgrade, right?
01:05Not quite, because it's rocking a 4.9 rating with over 4,600 sold, so people clearly love it.
01:13It's $3.56, about 70 cents more, but if you only need 5 colors anyway, the slightly higher price buys
01:20you a proven batch with stellar reviews. Now if you want to spend almost nothing,
01:25check this out. 10 pieces of 24x15mm flower axis volume control knobs, meant for encoders,
01:32in red, yellow, green, white, orange, and blue. Here's the wild part, it's only 67 cents.
01:39That's less than 7 cents a knob, and it still moved over 4,500 units with a 4.6 rating.
01:46This is the one to grab if you're just prototyping, experimenting, or building something you're not
01:51sure will even work yet. Coming in fourth, a 5-pack of WH-148 plastic knob caps, 24x15mm,
02:00also for encoders, in blue, red, green, yellow, white, and orange. Fewer pieces this time,
02:06just 5, and it's $2.80, so the per-unit cost is higher, but the 4.7 rating with over
02:124,100 sold
02:13says the quality holds up. This is a good pick if you need just a handful for a finished build
02:18and
02:19want that bigger 24mm profile without ordering a pile of extras. And finally, the bulk option.
02:26100 pieces of 6mm shaft-hole threaded neural WH-148 potentiometer knobs, for $5.85.
02:35Do the math, that's under 6 cents each, and it's got a 4.9 rating with over 3,800 sold,
02:41which is honestly impressive for a 100-piece lot. If you're running a shop, teaching a class,
02:46or you just know you'll burn through knobs, this is the best value on the entire list.
02:51So there you go 5 solid options depending on whether you want variety, bulk, or just the
02:56cheapest way to get started. All the links are down in the description below,
