Browser knob problem on DDJ-400 & Rekordbox

Hi Pioneer DJ team,

I'm having a problem with the Browser Knob on my DDJ-400 + Rekordbox 6.

Sometimes it doesn't respond for one or two clicks when turning. 
Other times it jumps like 10+ tracks instead of highlighting the next or previous one (depending if I turn left or right). 

Not sure if its laggy electronics/midi or if its a software issue (tried on two different computers, one is a high end machine, but the problem is the same).

The knob looks fine, no wobbling, getting loose, or anything.

Its terrible when I'm in a hurry (mixing live on the spot) and I can't be accurate when selecting a track or folder. I have to try 3 and 4 times in order to highlight the track or folder I wish to select! 

Also, I'm having this problem for many months now and I'm not sure if it started in a past update... I know it was not a big of a deal back then, but its getting on my nerves right know, especially when playing for other ppl. 

 

Please advise!

 

Thanks,
Nuno

It seems that many people have this annoying problem (found it mentioned on other forums)

Sadly they didn't addressed this yet! And the highlight/jumping problem doesn't happen when I use the mouse wheel to browse. So I think it's really a software issue, not hardware.

EDIT: The problem doesn't come from the knob because I tested the midi parameters/response from the knob (DDJ 400) using a MIDI software tester.

If it doesn't happen using the mouse wheel that mean that the problem come from the knob , no? so hardware ?

I tried installing olds versions (5.4.0, 5.5.0, 5.6.1) of rekordbox and it seem that with 5.4.0 there is less problem, but still have some slight glitch (one tracks jump).

Finally it was a hardware issue, I sent my ddj to SAV. it work fine now after the reparation (they change the knob)
