Finally I have it! Thanks @mr.suntorytime for working with me to make these, they look fantastic and feel great in the hand. Really proud of this one -- wanted to mention again I don't make any money on the sale of these, I purely do this out of passion for learning design and taking it out on my poor Emira

Wanted to give you guys my personal opinion on my experimentation with shift knob shapes and sizes over the last couple months. Maybe this can help someone pick knobs in the future, these are just my opinion, I find myself to have hands sized on the upper end of medium bordering on smaller end of large based on multiple gloves.

OEM Knob

• Round
• 46 mm diameter
• Good for smaller hands
• Good for top grip shifting

Darkworks 51mm Knob

• Round
• 51 mm diameter
• Good for larger hands
• Good for top grip shifting

Darkworks Type F Knob

• Egg Shaped
• 48mm diameter
• 70mm height
• Good for medium to larger hands
• Good for top grip / side grip shifting
• Ribbing makes for better grip

Upcoming Darkworks Type R Knob

• Egg Shaped
• 46mm diameter
• 75mm height
• Good for medium to larger hands
• Good for side grip shifting
• Comfortable pinky position

Estimated 205g for the Type F and 210g for the Type R. Actual weights are coming in a few grams over estimated. There's obviously a very small percentage variance here and I'm sure the anodizing is adding a tiny bit of weight.

If any of you ever have a Milltek remote stop pairing with your valve controller here are the instructions to make it pair again.

Hi Kitkat im interested in this. Does this mean that lets say in touring mode i can have the milltek run the oem gradually open valve and when i select sport/track to set it up in full open mode?

No sorry you can’t do that with the Milltek remotes. This product can’t change the valves from the car’s mode selection. The learning function i just posted is purely about pairing remotes.
