Haven't heard anything about an updated knob of any kind. After seeing how it breaks the only advice I would give is to not push it to hard or turn it real fast. Just go easy on it and it should be fine. I have to admit, before mine broke I probably had a habit of turning the volume up and down kind...

It could be done. However, if you look at your knob at night you will notice how the light kind of shines through. The light emits from behind the knob. Putting to much glue or anything else in there might block the light. But in terms of it just reinforcing the knob it would probably work.

You probably could try glue. My only worry about that would be making a mess out of the pegs the knobs go on to then having an issue down the road. But it could be worth a try.

The faceplate holds the knobs...
