Fx3_hdrive Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 hi everyonei'm in progress of making a mb64. when i found that i dont like the miniature buttons i bought - I didnt know when they were pressed, they didnt have any click but otherwise nice buttonts.i'm looking for some sort of a switch that will click or dent when its pressed, also it HAS to be surface mounted because i just hate the idea of pushing on the flimsy PCBs :'( . another thing is that i live in UK and dont understand any german. do you have any answers, comments please?my highest appretiations.fx3_hdriveP.S. is push-to-break type ok? or it will mess up the signals?

uclaros Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hi!I guess you mean "chassis-mounted" because surface-mounted switches are surface mounted on the PCB (d-oh!)But, if u use appropriate mounting screws on the pcb, there will be no problem pushing them even hard! And it is by far the cheapest method! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fx3_hdrive Posted June 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Thanks for your replySorry that I was unclear before, yes chassis-mounted buttons that click or dent.just moments ago I put tactile sw on a matrix board and taped on it with pliers, on the first tap it was stuck and didn’t work properly! What a piece of… excuse me for this… crap !!I’ve found these nice sturdy buttons but they don’t click. Is there a name for buttons that feel like tacts but are sturdy and chassis-mounted ?RegardsFx3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMIDIRIN Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 any button with micro switch will definately CLICK..like old arcade game buttons ;)u want spst (or of course u can use half of dpdt) or what is known as momentary on push buttons (panel or chassis mount...)<look on ebay as pilo pointed out..>C&K SWITCHES HAVE ALWAYS A GOOD FEEL :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
