it also depends on the finish/texture of the knob. ive had metal knobs that got hot but not super hot in the summer months like the twm satin knob.
but then a polished momo got scorching hot.

if you're worried about hot/cold, check out the twm specter. it's weighted brass core with delrin. very nice.
doesnt get hot at all honestly. ive parked my car in direct sunlight many many times and ive never come back to a knob that was unbearably hot. when i had an aluminum shift knob.... it was a different story. couldnt touch it and carried around a sock in my center console.
