Sanwa Button mod

thingiverse

Adapters to convert snap in Sanwa buttons to microswitch. I printed competition pro cases and used Sanwa balltop joysticks but didn't like the feel of the snap in buttons. I prefer the feel of cherry microswitches for nice mechanical feedback and more of an arcade feel. These give the low profile snap in Sanwa buttons the feel of a microswitched arcade button and combined with balltop sticks to me it's the ultimate joystick. I cut down the spring from one Happ convex button to spring four Sanwa's. The microswitch mount also centers the spring. They can be glued or screwed to the Sanwa button. Some light sanding with 300 grit on the piston part and guide gives smooth movement otherwise you can feel the print lines.
