Title: Where can I find large Tactile Buttons for cheap?
Post by: Crazy Germans on August 12, 2008, 06:34:28 PM

I'm looking for someplace where I can get a bunch of large tactile switches for rapidfire.  They obviously need to be shallow so that they fit in the controller.  And I wanna get a good amount @ a cheap price.  Or even small ones too, like the 7mm ones.  So where do you guys get your tactile switches?

I got mine ar radioshack...but...really they aren't that cheap there. The small ones do come in a package of like 4 (2 red 2 black). I got those...and one of those NOS looking button (big red as I call it) cost as much as those four. The 4 small ones all crapped out on me...2 work...not well if I may say so because they get jammed and the others melted away from the soldering iron (I would say I soldered the wires a couple times tho...to test stuff...).

Also, if you get the small ones...don't bend the pins like I did. I drilled the hold too close to the motherboard and it kept touching so I had to bend the pins on the small ones (the big one works fine...but...now I have a big one, and a lil button in my controller.....atleast it works huh?)

btw, im using the no chip rapidfire mod.

Yeah, I've used both of those types of buttons from radioshack that you're talking about.  I don't really like em and they're just too expencive.
