Not the perfect one
Just finished new build and wanted to have nice black knobs with great grip. Especially that I've been using push-pull pots with switches.
Without thinking too much, I pushed those knobs on my pots. After 10 seconds decided I do no like the optics, so started to pull them out. Finished with two damages DiMarzio pots (with switches).
So...
PROS first:
- The grip is really fantastic
- Optics not bad
- Clearly visible numbers (very useful if you use eyes instead of ears to set volume)
CONS
- Fit. it is so tight, that once on pots, it is virtually impossible to take them off without damaging pots.
CONCLUSION
Nice knobs, great idea for very good grip, very usable, when you have push/pull potentiometers with switches.
I am using them, and probably will continue using and slowly replace my old Fender style knobs for this ones.
But now I am wiser, and before fitting them on guitar, I am redialling the hole, so the fit is tight, but not insanely tight, like them come originally.
3 stars total, as those knobs can cause potential damage to your guitar due to non-standard shaft hole.

...form, function, and look!
i decided to black out a guitar that comes with a ton of gold-plated hardware (which i honestly despise with all my old self), and replace anything on it with a black-colored equivalent.
well, mine's an Ibanez hollowobody, and once all hardware's been replaced with blacked-out-one, the golden-hued original knobs felt a tad out of place.
the SureGrip III is a handy knob with perfect balance allowing firm grip and ease of use... and, in this black version, it looks just perfect on my jazzbox – while still retaining full reliability nonetheless.
class and style meet full functionality at a fraction of competitors' prices of otherly-branded spare parts... the rubber ring isn't sticky (good thing), and the mating surface to the pot seems perfectly executed – no wobblying, no eccentricity, no cheap feeling.
bravo, Ibanez!

Really nice but questionable quality considering the price
Really good if you like bigger knobs and more aggressive grip.
Looks are stunning.
The problem I had was that the grip material part just got loose and came off the knob. After 2 days. Nothing a dab of glue can't fix of course. But I think that should not happen, considering the price :)

I was looking for a black knob that isn't F style, and isn't made of metal. I am astoned how good it is and how smooth i can control my volume pot, and it looks amazing.

Ridges inside pot shaft area covered with paint
The knob is made of clear plastic and then painted from the back to make it look black. On the ones I was sent this paint got inside the pot shaft hole and covers up the ridges. They will not fit on Epiphone, Squier or any other pots I have spare, the paint blocks the pot ridges.
I tried scraping the paint off with a small screwdriver, but it is too strongly bonded to the plastic.

Not a perfect match
It is odd that although I put them on an Ibanez RG, the match was not perfect and they cracked a bit.
Apart from that, they are working fine and the grip is phenomenal indeed!

Still not perfect
Had a small blemish on top of the plastic glass, but the bottom was very unevenly cut - I had to use sandpaper to smooth it out.
