I don't know about the encoder problem that the 1054z had so I can't say whether it is still present.

I don't recall any problems with the encoders. Menus have always worked perfectly.
(as well as menus can work with a twisty push knob... but that's another story and doesn't just apply to Rigols).

When I use this scope, I replaced the encoder with a walking one with a tactile sense of turning-steps. It became much more convenient. Encoded bought on Aliexpress, but it's not the SMD had to bend the legs.

Sure, but that's not just a Rigol problem. People do that to lots of 'scopes.
Another trick is to replace the knob with a bigger one, it gives better control and doesn't break the "warranty void" sticker.
The GW-Instek 'scopes have a separate button to avoid menu mis-selections.
I just bought a 'scope that doesn't do everything through a stupid twisty knob and it's awesome.

I also have a different scope now. With a touch screen, this solves the problem - an awkward encoder is almost unnecessary.
Sometimes I connect a wireless mouse.

I'm definitely not going back. People moan about the vertical position response on Rigols (although I never once felt it prevented me from doing my work) but even if they fix that you'll still be using a horrible twisty knob to navigate the menus.
I expect that touch screens will be standard within a couple of years, even in low-end 'scopes.

I have ordered this one: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/10000056483250.html?spm=a2g0n.orderlist-amp.item.10000056483250&aff_trace_key=c6d3c64b86684866a1233c319847e33b-1604244217899-04313-mr6wR6CC&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=4051amp-JqCa6HqVGmo1_LoyvHcC5A1604684008339&browser_id=bc08df6557be403a99978184b819c59d&is_c=N
I've got my parcel. This oscilloscope lags. My old friend dso5102p much better in behavior. Not impressed with my purchase.
