Rigol DS1054Z rotary encoder mod *works!*
Shock:
Would be nice if someone took the time to include photos of the steps they took to disassemble it and what security bits are required, might be easier to decide if the effort/risk is worth it.

No photos, bit I did make some notes here https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/rigol-ds1054z-rotary-encoder-mod/msg737852/#msg737852
Pretty sure there're plenty of video teardowns of this scope (or derivatives) about.
TheSteve:
I can add that the Rigol PCB is of very nice quality and that desoldering the original encoder is pretty easy with any kind of solder sucker(including the manual kind).
Also, I did file down the shaft on the new encoder 0.5mm so the knob sits exactly the same as the original.

I wonder if AvE has done the mod on his DS1054Z with one of his two dozen angle grinders?
bitwelder:
Today I also applied this mod to my 1054Z. :-/O
Quite happy with the results.
While removing the keyboard PCB, I was a bit surprised to see on the back side an ASIC to handle the few keys, LEDs and encoders that are present on the board. I was expecting a more low level uC for that.
