Hi all

 

I am looking for mini hat switches in the UK, to upgrade my collective.

 

Anyone know a decent source?

The switch in L.Bodnar site is ALPS RKJxxxx serie, and has a peculiarity:

 

"Push button is also activated when the stick is pushed in any direction (NESW)."

 

https://www.alps.com/prod/info/E/HTML/MultiControl/Switch/RKJXM/RKJXM1015004.html

 

Then or use switch only as 4 ways or assembly an additional electronic circuit to deal with the center button (see in Debolestis Suncom topics).

 

VKB and VirPil use this switch and deal with this issue in firmware.

 

Can 3D Print and assembly 4, 5 ways HAT's with tactile 6x6 micro switches with various cap format.

Are you doing a kiowa collective BigNewy?

 

No,

 

just thought I would do a new head for my current collective.

 

Want more switches, now have x3 8 way hat switches, and will have some toggles also.

 

looking for some castle type knobs that are not to much money, all the ones I have seen so far are way to much with shipping for three tiny knobs.

If 3d printing and no 5-way is not a problem these are an option https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3452944

Damn, I’ve got one for a throttle handle mod. Wish I would’ve know about that center button behavior before I purchased it from Leo. I’ll have to figure out a work around. Caveat emptor, eh?

 

Look in Debolestis Suncon restoration topic, for Sergey_Pe post about a electronic circuit - 2 transistors and few resistor/capacitor for deal with this issue.
