What about a rotary encoder (mechanical) with a push-shaft?

I'm going to be ordering a large quantity of these (they are not stocked
anywhere in North America that I can find in the style and size I need).

These will have a 6mm D-shaft and are quite compact. There are just the
two phase outputs and an uncommitted momentary switch. Also have the Orcad
footprint made up for them.

Price is fairly reasonable.
