## Description

This funky user interface element is reminiscent of the [original clicking scroll wheel interface on the first iPods](https://gizmodo.com/a-visual-history-of-the-ipod-click-wheel-r-i-p-1632640054). It's a fancy mechanical kit but has an intuitiveness that is hard to argue with - everyone knows how to use this kind of rotary encoder to scroll and select.

This product is *just* the encoder/button wheel element. The pin-out is a little odd, [Adafruit really recommend Adafruit's breakout PCB to turn it into a breadboard-friendly device](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-ano-rotary-navigation-encoder-breakout-pcb.html). But, you could solder to the pins if you like.

There are 5 buttons (up down left right center) and a rotary encoder wheel in the center. Use with any microcontroller that can read pulse-code rotary encoders!
