Braeden108 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I bought some cheap momentary push button switches, https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/e-switch/KS-01Q-01/EG4791-ND/2116270 I'm not overly enthused about them. They wiggle a great deal and they don't have a good click or travel. Any recommendations? Panel mount or through hole is fine. I do need it to have a cap though. (As much as I'd love to machine my own, this is meant to be a quicker project XD) Light the tires kick the fires! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketeer Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 digikey is not cheap. or any other US websites like Mouser, Newark, Allied, Future Electronics, Onlinecomponents etc. Plus they may charge processing fees or high shipping fees. nowadays i buy from aliexpress in china. takes a long time to get to the US. But 5 times cheaper than buying from US websites, and free shipping if order is small. I've been able to buy many switches on a small budget. and aliexpress is in english, and is for retail, unlike alibaba which is for wholesalers.

aniron Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 My favourite is the OTTO P1-1 I grabbed off of eBay. Not cheap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladinsky Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 OTTO P1 is by far the best pushbutton I've ever used but that gets very expensive real fast. These are also fairly nice and clicky but with relatively low force and short travel. https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/c-k/8531TCQE2/CKN1659-ND/483941 https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/c-k/8532T1ZBE2/CKN1122-ND/241417 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Otto, I have a very different versions but love them all. P1-1 are the most common. I refer the 4.0lb activation force to the 2.5lb force (see part number, second to last number indicates this).
