Hey Everyone,

First off, I need to thank kubino for sharing his 6mm L1,L2,R1,R2 bracket, which my bracket is a remix based off of. Now that I have my hands on one of Kite's gorgeous CSO boards, I really wanted to take my time and figure out a back button solution I like. Most people around here agree that regular tactile buttons require a lot of force and do not feel great on the fingers. Inspired by Hoolyhoo's new soft tactile solution and Kubino's bracket I decided to mash the 2 together.

I present you the soft tactile button bracket and buttons:

Awesome, I've been looking for a layout like this without the noisy click. This is for the 8x8mm buttons right?

Would it be possible to use the same button caps as kubino, with a custom insert? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/50PCS-r ... 0.0.zufOrC

Good work! A PCB for this would be perfect, but it looks like a good solution nonetheless :)

I have a PCB with this request made and ordered for those who like this configuration. Should be arriving by midweek. I have already made the inserts for the caps for a better smooth feel. :)

Yeah, the bracket was designed for 8x8mm buttons.
