Yup, been putzing around with these rotary encoders for years now. Never going anywhere cause of the darn flat pins. And when you solder "resistor extensions", it becomes real wobbly.

I tried to get walls up around it to stabilize it even more, but it's an irregular shape. The thing is not symmetrical; I'll just run hot glue along the top of both sides if it gets wiggly.
