The Skunk2 is not countersunk. I have the Alex countersunk titianium knob and I also find it a little too light. One of these days I am going to modify my stock knob, since I think it's the perfect weight.

This is the Voodoo Magnum knob with Pearl finish (basically clear powercoat).
This ball knob is also bigger than most.

It does sit lower than stock. The knob is lighter than stock.
The combination of lower and lighter will require you to shift with more force.
Also, it will feel more notchy.

I wasn't going to buy this knob until I saw it and tried it out in person from a fellow member. The pearl finish on the knob makes it feel really girly. But i'm okay with that.

Yea, I saw your knob in person and they look ginormous. Your girl pearl finish knob with your snake skin shift boot combo....
