round buttons
2010-11-24 by James Ulibarri
E-Switch has some new round momentary buttons out. Maybe they've been around for a while
but it was the first time I've seen them browsing through Digikey one day. I ordered some and fitted it.
It looks alright. I just swapped the cap and the new brass spring kinda makes the switch "float" in there.
There is a tiny bit of play in there, but not bad. . It's not horrible, but it's not like the original square tops. If
one was to use these, I would suggest doing the entire switch (housing and cap). Because that way, they are
a perfect match. So I went back and used the original plate spring and it fits a lot better with the original switch housing in there. I think it looks cool and different, but I just wanted to try them. It's not something I will keep in there. I believe they come in blue and black too.
Also E-Switch has some new indented square caps. I really like those. . Instead of the flat middle section it has a rounded
out middle for your finger tips to sit in better. I put all grey ones in my SP. Those I am keeping in there. They will fit
in an EII also if someone out there wanted those. Again, sorry for the poor iphone pics.
