Although the abutment protrusion 50 plays a certain role in resisting the pressing protrusion 22, it does not mean that the pressing protrusion 22 is stuck at the abutment protrusion 50, and the driver can move the pressing protrusion 22 over the previous abutment protrusion 50 and further to abut against the next abutment protrusion 50 by applying a slightly large torque to the knob body 21. When the pressing projection 22 passes over the abutment projection 50, the driver's hand can feel a distinct "jump" feel, thereby informing the driver that the electronic shifter 1 has entered the next gear adjustment.

It is understood that the number of shift positions of the shifter may be two, three, four or more, and the number of shift positions of the electronic shifter 1 is the same as the number of the abutment projections 50, so that a designer can design the number of the abutment projections 50 according to practical and reasonable design.
