Traktor X1 MK3: Browser & Beat Jump Knobs are too sensitive (comparing to Kontrol S4 MK3)

Dear Community,

I have recently purchased Traktor X1 MK3 controller and happy with it. The only concern I have is that 'Browser Navigation' & 'Beat Jump' knobs are too sensitive to touch (comparing to Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3 which I also have and love it!).

So when I navigate through my library using these knobs - no problem, but when I adjust my beat jump size and "jumping" then I feel like the rotation feeling is lacking resistance — it is too easy and I accidentally "jump" more than I want. Especially, I feel it when adjusting beat jump size. There is no such issue on Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3, while knobs looks the same. Why?

My only question is - is this common 'issue' for all Traktor X1 MK3 devices or just for mine (production defect)? I expected the behaviour as on Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3.

Thanks in advance,

Yan

Definitely return the unit and ask for newer version with correct potentiometer resistancy. It is a known issue.
