Hey all,
I'm an intermediate keyboard enthusiast and tinkerer, with moderate experience soldering and modifying the QMK firmware. I have an idea for a project, but I'm not sure I have the skill level to execute on it. I wanted to incorporate a scroll wheel into the design. I know QMK has support for the EC11 rotary encoders, but I really like the horizontal form-factor of the Logitech thumb wheel, and I have a broken MX Master 2 kicking around, so I thought I'd try to repurpose it. I've extracted the component from the chassis, and am not really sure how to proceed. Unsurprisingly, I haven't been able to find any online documentation for the mouse, and I've never attempted to reverse engineer a circuit. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to approach this? I'm attaching some photos of the component.
