I have the Pro II (recently purchased). Using it with my X-S10 and my handful of vintage K-mount glass I've had no wobbles.

The smoothest, most precision adapter I own is K&F PK/DA-FX - the more expensive one that allows you to do a mechanical stop down of the newer PK lenses (that don't have an aperture ring). The adapter is definitely more precise than the fitting on my Fringer (EF-FX) - admittedly the non-Pro version; it doesn't wobble, but there is very little friction.

I'm pretty sure that K&F put a little more precision into the design with the thought that the ones without the proper mechanism for all PK lenses were those planning one-off or casual-occasional use.
