Post by: neverused on Sat, 20 August 2016, 19:57:46

Had anyone ever used something like these? The source website has more colors/options:

Not sure if anyone here has, but I remember a discussion somewhere about MX arcade sticks. I'm too afraid to try them. Will stick with Sanwa for now.

I'm sure, but these could make for some interesting/obnoxious function keys

Sanwas don't have cherry mount, don't they? What product did you buy?

There are a lot of inexpensive buttons, in ebay.com or aliexpress.com, but the don't specify the switch being used.
