Review on Hilitchi 200 Pcs Assorted Tactile Momentary Switches Kit by Kirk Womack

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good selection of switches

I bought this box to have a set of switches for a portable handheld controller. I wasn't sure which height change bar I needed as the bar had to go through the velcro. Through the selection I was able to find the right height. It will also be good for future projects. things I didn't like. I had to bend the solder pins and if I bent them too much after soldering they tended to break on the switch body. Closing the switch travel is also fast enough for initial use, but assisted use allowed musical notes to be played when the switch was closed, and the travel feels too slow for a faster note sequence. However, it may happen that the activation pin rubs against a hole in the Velcro that is too small, thereby reducing the speed. For a musical instrument application I need to add top keycaps and I'm glad there is a wide range of keycaps to fit the stylus. I'm connecting switches to an esp8266/Arduino controller and reading four switches, both single clicks and "chords" of clicks (more than one briefly at a time).

Pros
  • ☛ A set of high quality snap action switches.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
