SparkFun Roller Encoder Breakout - SparkFun Electronics

 

This breakout board interfaces with the discontinued Panasonic EVQWGD001 roller wheel encoder, a tactile input device featuring an integrated push-select mechanism. Reminiscent of premium automotive controls from the early 2000s, this encoder delivers a distinctive mechanical feel and intuitive rotational input that enthusiasts continue to seek. The board provides convenient connectivity for this sought-after component, though the encoder itself must be sourced separately. Ideal for custom input applications where authentic tactile feedback matters.
