If you thought rotary encoders were cool, get a load of what the sim racing community has done. Rotary encoder and 5-way switch in one – henrebotha.
7 in 1 Switch
- 4 way directional
- Rotary encoder
- Center push button
- Billet aluminum knurled knob (Updated: "easier to grip with gloves")
- Includes m2.5 mounting kit
As initialo points out in the comments, this is basically a $11 part from Mouser (RKJXT1F42001) put on a breakout board and offered with a nice knob.
If you insist on using the $50 Apex one, here is the product page:
