    In some videos I have seen some kind of rotary encoder with integrated push button. I don't really know how these are called but I want to use one as an input to control some leds (button = on/off and turning = dimming). I am also looking for these kinds of caps that you put on the small buttons and rotary encoders too make them easier to use (and so that they look more professional).
    Could you help me out by telling me how both these components are called, so that I can find them on ebay/aliexpress?

    Also do you know any such components that come with or that fit into a good looking case (as I may use the as "main" light switches in the future too).

        Ah thanks, and the caps are called "Rotary Knobs".
        I do still need to find a good looking case that can be used with these buttons though. If someone has build something like that already some ideas would be welcome.
