This EC12 rotary encoder knob by Oak Ninja, covering the encoder base, is perfect for low-profile encoders with D-shaft. It fits encoders like EC12E1220301 and EC12E2440.
It was really hard to find a nice EC12 encoder knob so I decided to design my own, and I’ve finally settled with a design that I’m happy with – OakNinja.
The knob is compatible with MX-spaced Choc switches but the author thinks it may work fine with Choc spaced switches as well.
