Hey. Sorry buddy, didn't see your question.

It is much lighter which makes the shifting feel more "crisp" & mechanical you could say.
However it's not for everybody's liking since most people prefer heavier knobs since they make shifting much smoother but also more numb feeling.

One thing for me though is the feel (quality) of the TRD is much nicer in the hands and I also really liked the design. It's lower but slightly bigger and just feels premium. I also like how they made the center concave so that you don't touch the metal portion in the cold or hot weather.

I guess the biggest factor here is the weight.

TRD = 107g
OEM = 198g

For me, I actually thought the Fake TRD shift knob weight was the ideal weight at 169g. However, I'd still choose the authentic TRD shift knob over the fake one any day.
