these are two separate problems entirely.  encoders going the opposite
direction is an indicator that they are faulty and need to be  
replaced.  you
should definitely contact Elektron to take care of this.

as far as replacing the knobs on the encoders...I don't know if it  
can be done or
not.  the encoders Elektron uses are custom-made and I don't know if the
stems on them are standard or not.  if they are, then yes you can  
replace the
knobs with something else.  if not, you'll have a hard time finding  
something that
will fit, I'd imagine.  BUT be forewarned that taking the knobs off  
is dangerous.
the encoder stems are plastic and you could very well snap one when
removing a knob from it.  you might be able to get some insight from  
Elektron
on this, so mailing them wouldn't be a bad idea.
