Review on TWTADE Momentary Tactile Button 12X12X12mm: Compact Push Button for Easy Actuation by Paul Hyde

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A jumble of switches and knobs.

Bought these to replace the Omron in my Dawn Remap kit as the stock units start to fail after a few months. Missed clicks etc. In my case this is overuse, lots of in-game button spamming. Something these switches couldn't handle, even with high actuation cycle life ratings. Not to mention that they often fire off-centre if you press from the side instead of straight, for example. They feel about twice as good as yellow stemmed Omrons (This manufacturer sees them in black and gray so I don't know if there is a different rating for each colour.) Lost a few stars as they don't seem to be near now too. I thought it would happen and didn't get too upset that I had to get 70 things. Only use 4 at a time in a remap kit. So I've supplied a lot of these PCBs and some custom designs or custom power switches and PC case resets for a lifetime. The buttons that come with it are pretty cheap, you can see the paint is thin which means it's not a good solid opaque paint. See if you need prettier knobs but for projects and other things they work great and have a flange to hold the panel.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • Unfashionable
