ALPs encoders at mouser

[jeroddumas]

Anyone tried these alps encoders from mouser?  http://www3.alps.co.jp/pdf/2004pdf/pdf_e/Switch/Encoder/ec12e.pdf  .   They are $1.47 .  I think I want to use them, any objections???

I think theese are the same I got for my sid cs. Ibought them from mouser at the same price  so I am pretty sure it is them. I have only used on so far, as construction of the front panel has slowed me down. I have been using it on the data wheel and it works well, though it has not recieved much use as I have been using j-sytnth for editing. So I can say they work well but I can't say as to how they hold up yet.
