Had nothing but trouble with the US Digital encoders like the one you linked.
Years of trouble.
Many teams swear by them we simply can't have any more surprises.
DigiKey sells may fine encoders that are slightly more expensive.
If, like me, the time you waste playing with the encoders in the end is way more valuable than the encoder I would go shopping at the higher price.
One hour of my time more than buys all the encoders we are likely to need from a company like GrayHill.
Further it reduces this
when someone suggests using an encoder.
