Tactile micro-switch size and placement #784

Placement issue

The Tactile micro-switch does not fit nicely on the veroboard/stripboard. The pins do not line up with the holes - both horizontally and vertically.

Size issue

In addition, while the height of the switch seems to be correct (3 rows stripboard high), the physical Omron tactile switches that I have, B3F-4055 (i.e. the 12x12 mm type), are 6 holes across in width, not the 4 holes width that the application provides, for B3F-1104 (i.e. the 6 x 6 mm type).

Admittedly, Omron switches come in different sizes, but there doesn't seem to be a resize mechanism for the tactile micro-switch, like there is for the ICs. Either that, or an additional variant is required.


This would seem to be two separate issues, and if so, maybe one of the issues should be moved into a distinct Github issue?
