Not a problem I've ever encountered either

My error, as my K3 and grip has click stops. I should have stated stiffer click stops. There is not that much resistance to stop the dial moving.Truckerathome. Quote "or even perhaps click-stops" unquote. My DBG4 & DBG5 both have click stops and I never have any trouble with mine.

Obviously it appears to be just me, although I have no such problems with the C***n camera that I also use, albeit it only has one dial on the camera and one on the grip (the clicks on that are more pronounced though now I compare the two). Just a small annoying problem although I still prefer the Pentax in usage. Its perhaps happening as it brushes against my side as I always hang my camera/lens from my shoulder down by my side when moving around.

Grips are a marmite thing. I bought one for my K10D, kept it for my K20D, and maybe used it half a dozen times in seven years. I found I still used the normal controls even when shooting "portrait". When I bought my K-3 I decided not to bother with a grip, just a waste of space in my camera bag.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Thanks for the 'Meike' name. They don't seem to do a k3 version yet unfortunately.
I don't think I've read yet someone not liking the grip once they've purchase it (saying that I think I'd force myself to like it if it cost me £150).
I've got medium sized hands. My little finger supports the bottom of the camera normally.
FWIW you can fit the Meike grip to a K-3 after a few simple mods - see the bottom of this thread. Not OEM quality but it will do for momentThanks for the 'Meike' name. They don't seem to do a k3 version yet unfortunately.

PS: the grips on my K-3 & K-5 stay there all the time because the bodies are usually fitted with long lenses and the balance is better that way.
K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)
