20-30y ago I was avid hobby electronics guy ... before went into IT hardware work. Used/replaced many pots back in the day ... but it's been a while. Was worried as price on these was "budget level." HOWEVER all look decent quality, better than I expected, looked better than many pots I've used back 'in the day.' I hoped for decent function, but sort of expected a cheap looking knob. Nope, the knobs in my set actually looks high quality. You could put these on a pro/custom project - and it wouldn't look amateur at all. i tested a couple on multimeter just to make sure all were in range and R changed smoothly over range as should for 10k pot - yes it did. To be honest, I didn't test all ... only have use for 1 right now...I then used one for intended purpose - replaced pot for speed adjustment in my scrollsaw. The post of the original was plastic and broke off a couple years ago. (factory part is a 10k pot, same spec, same size/configuration, so this is "exact" replacement). This pot took solder easily - I've had trouble with other cheap components over the years not accepting solder so well - not the case here, took solder perfectly. The retaining nut cinched down nice and firm - no wiggle. Once installed, this pot adjust the speed smoothly, even BETTER than the original! Movement is smooth, no wiggle or snap-back. It's firm, but not at all hard hard, so very easy to adjust precisely to exactly desired level, and it holds there. No drift over time. VERY happy with this purchase, exceeded my expectations by far. Would buy again ... except with quant of 20, that'll probably last me rest of my life at the rate I mess with electronics these days!!

I'm using these for various LED controls (R-G-B values and brightness) on an Arduino. I measured a couple with a multimeter and didn't seem to find any wildly out of range. At fully "open", they're about 1-2 ohm resistance on either side, and found the fully "closed" to be reasonable, about 10.15K ohms.. totally acceptable for my purposes.I found the knobs to be of surprisingly good quality -- actual metal (although they're light, maybe aluminum). No obvious machining imperfections and the trim is nice and straight. One warning is they are fairly short, so if you plan to mount these to an enclosure, you may want to think about how to extend the knob a bit (even with the nut and washer, still only clears the pot by a few millimeters). And the pot knob itself has some weight to it, so when you turn the knob on an enclosure it feels higher quality than a loose one.One heads up for tinkerers, if you're trying to use these on a breadboard I found the pins were too thick to fit correctly (they fit vertically, but that's only because the breadboard slots are vertically oriented -- unfortunately the pot is not usable on a breadboard in this orientation). I just soldered some 22AWG solid core wire to the ends and plugged into the breadboard to mess with these before throwing them into an actual project.Notes on Orientating the Pot:If you're wanting to use this with a "traditional" orientation (pins down, "off" or full 10K resistance being to he left, with knob pointing to about 8 o'clock), you need to wire power to the right-most pin, ground to the left-most, and output to the middle pin. This should be obvious by measuring resistance of the pins, but there seem to be a lot of people just looking for someone to hold their hand when using this.My commentary on "overheating" pots:How you wire these matters. Some people seem to not understand how a potentiometer works, and while a pin diagram would be nice it's not necessary. You position the potentiometer at about 1/3 turn to one side and measure the resistance from connections A, B, and C for the left, middle, and right pins (or however you want) -- check A to B, B to C, and A to C. You would find that the sweep pin is the one that has opposite resistance to either of the other pins (e.g. 3k A to B and 7K B to C, then B is the sweep pin for a 10k pot). This is basic stuff, so it shouldn't need to be written on the box. You CANNOT use the middle/sweep pin for the power connection -- doing so will result in massive amounts of heat. I don't know why but it seems to be necessary to write it out.Bottom line is that if you are getting an overheating potentiometer -- 99% chance is that you have it wired incorrectly. If a pot goes bad, it typically just results in an open circuit, not with massive heat.

I used this to control a custom Arduino circuit I created (the amount open a HH is on a clutch for my electric drum kit). This is a good unit and works exactly as I'd expect. Knobs are a bit cheap.Note: this is a 4.5 star product but I only round up to 5 stars if something really wows me and due to the knobs and lack of long-term durability test going with 4 stars. But I do recommend they are good units working exactly as expected.

There are several negative reviews for these inexpensive pots but I have had no problem with them. Maybe I have just been lucky, but I have used more than 50 of them so far in some projects and they have been really consistent. Every one I have used has worked great, except for the one where I clipped off the wrong lead before soldering, but I guess I can't really blame the potentiometer for that.I didn't expect precision performance for these items but they have been better than expected. I tested a couple by drilling a small hole in one knob, inserting an indicator, and then plotted the rotation vs. resistance. The pictures show one result but they were all about the same. The knobs are pretty nice and the stem rotates smoothly. As someone else has mentioned, the stems are not very long so they could be limited if inserting into a thick panel, but overall, twenty 10K linear pots with knobs, nut and washer for about 12 bucks seems pretty good.

I've used 8 of them so far without issue. The knobs are nicely machined and the movement is smooth. I do not need them to be super accurate so for my purposes, they are perfect. If you want some inexpensive but nice looking pots for your Arduino projects, these are it.

Everything is working fine, I build cigar box guitars and adding one of these makes my guitars look more professional. I will be buying more

all look to work well.. the metallic buttons are very elegant..they are linear and work well on Arduino as ESP32..happy to have it..

comme tous les kits, on l'achète pour une ou deux références. Mais ça permet d'avoir du stock pour les montages à venir. Livraison OK.

Impressed at quality for the price paid. Comes with metal knob for professional finish. Would certainly buy again.
