While no way the same thing, with the analogue pocket is sold out, this is starting to look like a better alternative

Been debating on excising my pi 4 from its case for that. It would get more use…that’s for sure
[edit]P.S. Screw Analogue

Ha ha we’ve (or at least I’ll admit I have) been trying to suck the chrome off this tow hitch since 2017 
And double F U Analogue, where’s my wave two for pre-orders!?!?!
Sad thing is this is what they wanted

I wonder if Focus Attack or Paradise Arcade Shop are experiencing something similar. Still scummy of Samducksa.

this does not bode well. guess i wont be able to upgrade my 201s to 202s if this gets out of hand
Crap. Finally I find a button I love and they start disappearing. No one had stock of these really for a while though.
That’s… bizarre, to say the least. No less scummy, though.
I personally have no attachment to Crown/Samducksa or any other Korean-style parts (only ever installed them on a stick for a customer), but options for the masses were always good.
There is MiSTer FPGA Core - Arcade DoDonPachi work in progress

202s are kinda sus anyways. I’ve had 2 24mm go bad on me already, and it’s only been a few months.
Feel great, seem to be pretty flimsy, sadly.
Not sus for me. Did you try to swap switches? I’ve yet to have a single one fail on me.
So say someone wanted to build a K-stick…
Is buying parts from Arcade Shock’s remaining inventory, supporting them/the FGC; Or would you just be exacerbating the situation, since a true 100% cold turkey boycott of the brands sends the strongest FU message to Crown Samducksa?
In my personal opinion I think Arcade Shock would want all their stock of Samducksa gone so you’d probably be doing them a favor with buying it so they can make room for more Sanwa or Seimitsu parts.

I didn’t do anything to them. I honestly think it might be the mx silver switches. I don’t feel like i hit too hard, but both of them had the same problem. They wouldn’t register anything if you press too hard. and the weird thing is, if you pressed down, then added a few more grams of pressure, the registering of a button press would disappear.
It was my right directional button on my hitbox each time. Never happened with sanwas
Some people on Reddit complained that swapping switches ruins the terminal contact points and that aluminum foil is needed to be added to close the gaps. Most of what I read on this came from people rocking 24mm.
While I’ve not encountered the need for that, swapping switches on 24mm opaque SDB-202s requires extreme/unnecessary precision to get everything lined up properly. I had to disassemble and reseat switches on my 24mms several times to ensure inputs. 30mm switch swaps are easy.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think Crown assumed people would be modding their buttons, which—when considering (1) the community you’re releasing products into and (2) the modular nature of Cherry MX switches in the first place—is really fucking dumb.
I love the responsiveness and lack of baby-waking click/clacks, but if any of these buttons fail, the switches get extracted and these all go in the recycle bin.
This is a great opportunity for GamerFinger to jump on this and expand their line with more colors. Those buttons rock, but their color-game is C- at best right now
