L/R tactile buttons

Post by Bloob » Thu Aug 03, 2017 6:22 pm

Where do I get them, I can't find a link on the wiki, and I can't find the specific buttons anywhere else either, can anyone provide a link to the screws as well. Thanks!

Jump on eBay you can probably find a bag of 50 for a couple of bucks.

I found that mine we slightly (literally ever so slightly) wider at the base than 3.5mm holes.

You could use a lightly bigger drill bit to widen these holes or hand file the holes and or switches to fit.

Don't get too fixated on matching the sizes explicitly.

I actually snip the tops off of my switches, round them with a nail file (not my Missus' even though I was accused... :p) for a nice feel on press.
