I disabled the clicks by disassembling the encoder and ripping of the little clicker ring.
First bend the four metal tabs away from the back plastic cover.
Let the whole thing fall apart, being careful to note in what order.
There's a metal ring with a couple raised bumps spot-welded to the front metal frame (as I recall),
rip that ring out of there with a pair of pliers and a good strong tug.
Re-assemble.
I would have been fine with the mechanical clicks, except they were not quite aligned
with the encoder switch contacts so some of the clicks behaved differently.
Also, using the uBitx stock code, I was getting 4 counts per click (most of the time),
so without the clicks I have 4 times the resolution.
Works great now that it has been modified.
And if it doesn't, just remember that they are really cheap.
