Anyone Know where to get this button? *FOUND em for real this time*
Minions:
Bender, this link has the same item name but don't know 100% if it is the same. It's the same place we purchased our joysticks from.
http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/1480921-switch-pb-1-cir-front-mt-black-913x.html
Cheapest if it is right (10 2.52500 25.25)
Looks like they have none on hand though. Shipping estimate says it will take about 4.5 weeks for them to ship if you order from here though. Suddenly that 9 week lead time at that other site sounds like it may be legit. (this one has a link that says lead time and it says they will ship on aug 20th estimated)
Gonna guess its the wrong one though since:
http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/962409-switch-pb-1-cir-front-mt-black-913.html
Seems to be the one we want ($4/ea here and 0 on hand). Guess emailing each of the sites would be the best way to figure out if the lead times are legit or not.

Shouldn't have to worry about a lead time seeing as they can ship "now".

Good price if you can use red.....

Thanks for the heads up! I just picked up 4 for some projects!
Minions:
Turns out these are not in fact the same buttons. (or if they are they have changed the springs in them). My order has come in and needless to say these buttons will not function as arcade buttons. That is to say the force required to push them down makes them essentially useless. Sucks because I ordered some from onlinecomponents and ebay. OC has a 30 day no questions asked policy I believe (as long as the products are in new condition), the guy I got buttons from has a 7 day return policy.
So the new question is, what buttons are these if they are not made by switchcraft? (it's not 903 or 913x which rules out the previous version being a weaker spring)
Hopefully we can find this button once and for all.
Edit-
Went ahead and sent an email to switchcraft to see if they had any input, worth a shot I suppose.

^^
what he said... I too ordered some of these and they are not close to the same spring resistance, they would be fine for admin buttons, but no good for gameplay, back to the drawing board on this one
