OSGO Tactile switch description #3

mjaskula commented 2 years ago

Hello. Your modules look great. Thank's for making them available.

I'm working on a OSGO build and seemed to have ordered the wrong Micro Momentary Tact switches (I'm pretty new to this DIY world). The ones I ordered ended up being both too short and the caps were not large enough to fill out the holes in the face plate properly. This is certainly my fault for not measuring properly ahead of time.

Before I go and order another batch of switches, I thought I'd check in here and see if you could provide additional specifications for the tactical switches and caps to make my ordering easier.

Thank you.

Hi, I don't remember which switches I used back then. I think they were from Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/9HYvYm2 https://amzn.eu/d/aCytPAx (caps)

Nowadays I always use these ones: https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/612-TL1105SP https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/612-1RWHT If you bend the legs a little, they should fit. But the caps also won't fill out the holes properly.
