What kind of buttons did you get? And what do you mean they almost snapped?
Snap-ins typically require a lot of force to get them into the hole, it’s so much that if you’ve never modded you might feel like you are breaking them. But that’s how it’s supposed to be
I might have to try that.
I’ve spent some time working out why that is, and my conclusion was that it is mostly a sound thing. The casing of snap-ins is more open because of the cutouts for the tabs, so it lets out a high frequency sound from the tap that you don’t hear with the closed design of the screw-ins. The feel does not really change, but it is almost impossible to separate the feel from the sound they make.
The size of the build can also dictate which buttons you need. For instance if you’re building a low profile case or have clearance issues, snap ins are better.
Alot to take into account when doing a build. You wouldn’t think so at first taking on controller building.
As Screw in or Snap in? said, they are really different !
I didn’t knew this before, thought they just feel different, but I thought they are the same, cause of the same microswitch, but there seems to be another contructional difference too.
sanwa 30mm snap ins. the plastic actually moved inward (the ones that snap in). compared to it’s original form.
