My knobs broke after I had owned My K3 for about six months and Elecraft quickly sent me a replacement set, but I elected to buy the Mouser knobs anyway and I love them (many thanks to James). Yes, they look a bit different but I value functionality over appearance. Besides, the Mouser knobs actually look better than the stock K3 knobs and I may some day decide to swap them all out if I can find the right ones.
