I'm starting work on a project to design and build my own input device for CAD software and modelling, a project of a type and scale I've never experienced before. I need several sensors that are essentially just mouse scroll wheels (the type that act as a button too). Apparently most mice just use a rotary encoder with a switch underneath one end of the axle since all the rotary encoders with built-in switches seem to be parallel to the axis of rotation. Anyways, I was planning on just doing that, but I came across this part which seems like it might have a built in switch at a 90 degree angle to the axis of rotation since its description is "Edge mount, right angle tactile, 160gf". If that is actually what it is, then I would be able to do the whole thing with just this one part instead of a separate encoder and switch. Unfortunately I'm completely new to sourcing parts, reading datasheets, etc. so I'm not actually sure if I'm right about it or how specifically it works. If anyone more experienced could help explain how that part works or knows of an equivalent one that would get the job done, I'd really appreciate the help on my first big project.
