    But could you please explain why an encoder would be advisable to use over a rotary switch? I found out why..:P

    If you are not afraid of some mechanical work: I have some info on my site for building dual rotary encoders. http://www.simprojects.nl/dual_conce...ry_encoder.htm
    If you are not afraid to do some soldering: The MJOY-16 USB controller works great for these rotaries. Then you can convert the rotary switch actions to keyboard strokes via the MJOYmapper utility.

    For really low cost you could use my initial rotary to keyboard press circuit:
