## Description

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.

**Product Type:** physical
