No. You can make the encoder part of the cabinet instead of part of the control panel. What I'm doing is mounting the keyboard encoder inside the cabinet and running wires from that to a connector. The control panel simply has the matching connector and it plugs into that.

I've actually taken it a step further and made all the utility buttons (pause, esc, etc.) part of the cabinet as well. Since those features are always needed (regardless of which CP is installed) it makes sense to not have to duplicate their function on each and every CP.
