I currently have the Grimmspeed stubby knob (~600g). Overall I do like the feel of the knob. Doesn't get hot or cold ever surprisingly. I like how it slides into gear well with the added weight.

I did use the OEM knob for a number of years and wanted to try a heavier one to see what the fuss was about. I didn't go back, but I'm also now wondering what the OEM feels like after 2 with the heavier one lol.

Odd comparison, but I was helping a buddy with his NSX this weekend and he has a thin, lightweight knob on his and I was messing around in the car. It felt borderline horrible. Nothing to grab onto. Felt like a pencil sticking up to grab onto. I will say the NSX is noticeably more mechanical and attached than the twins feel. Extremely notchy.
