As Randy said its a keyboard hack in a project box so it will have all the problems that come with one.

Steer clear. If you want a pre wired encoder use something like the Ultimarc Minipac. I would also recommend a GGG product but I don't think there is a pre wired one. Any plans for one Randy?

I have considered it on many an occasion, but I usually end up at the "one size does not fit all" problem.  Most folks will do a very neat wiring job on their panels, and that means wires of the correct length.  With wires that are pre-terminated (i.e. already have connectors attached) this is impossible to achieve.

I may put one out eventually anyway, but it's not something I think will have the same broad appeal as just a board with screw terminals and offering pre-terminated wires of specific lengths that can be trimmed (or not) as needed.  That one is going to be more likely ;).

I can atest to the goodness of the MiniPAC.  It really makes hooking up a control panel very easy.  No need to make a bunch of ends, they are all done for you and much better than a keyboard hack.   Very easy to program with the software and enough connections for most 2 player CP's.
