I have an old Logitech G510 keyboard which has a failing volume control rotary encoder (volume jumps randomly if trying to adjust, and contact cleaner has not helped much.

The issue is that I can't find any company selling this size and shape of encoder.

Has anyone come across any that look like this before?

I uploaded a few photos of it to imgur https://imgur.com/a/ytOabyD

Thanks, I will give those a try.

I will just cut those tabs off and see how well it fits. The shaft seems to be the same size, though the overall width is 0.2mm less, I can put a spacer if needed. That is the closest one physically that I have found so far.

I wish they could have gone with an optical encoder since there is more than enough room to fit the hardware needed for it.
