The ANO Directional Navigation and Scroll Wheel Rotary Encoder combines a 5-way directional button pad with a rotary scroll wheel in a single, intuitive interface element. Inspired by classic click-wheel navigation, it provides a familiar and satisfying input experience for your projects.

This product is the encoder and button wheel element only — no breakout board is included. The pin-out is non-standard, so a breakout PCB is recommended for breadboard use, though you can solder directly to the pins if preferred.

Key Features

  • 5-Way Directional Buttons – Up, down, left, right, and centre press
  • Rotary Scroll Wheel – Pulse-code rotary encoder for smooth scrolling
  • Compact Form Factor – All-in-one navigation and selection input
  • Universal Compatibility – Works with any microcontroller that can read pulse-code rotary encoders

Ideal For

  • Menu navigation interfaces
  • Media player controls
  • Custom input devices and controllers
  • Embedded systems requiring intuitive user input
Note: This is the encoder/button wheel element only. A breakout PCB is recommended for breadboard-friendly use.
