Navigation switch are multiple switches in one. They’re more expensive than a few tact switches but they are also much more elegant. Our favorite is the ALPS series in SMT and THM

I would LOVE to see a couple of knob and/or knob-bezel combination choices for these units. I am working on a some projects right now that would really benefit. The ideal knob would look nice, even in a DIY project, and if it could be designed to prevent switch damage caused by over-travel, that would be the best!
There are so many cool commercial gadgets out there, but it seems hard for the DIYers to use them without their projects looking kludgey.
I place a high value on the aesthetics and durability of things that I make, and this would be a great step.
