Maybe some spacers on the front of them so they stick out a bit on the front but take up less space in the back side. https://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=TPPT-23-33 |

If I can't figure it out I'll probably ditch the ServoStik for U360 or something. Not sure yet. --- Quote from: opt2not on May 14, 2019, 09:03:03 pm --- --- Quote from: javeryh on May 14, 2019, 08:50:00 pm ---Any ideas? --- End quote --- Is there anything blocking it on the other side? Could you flip the mount 180 degrees? --- End quote --- Unfortunately no. This is the only configuration that the motor will fit. I'm wondering if there is a way to make the button just a little shorter somehow. like cut out a section of it and glue it back together. I'll need to stare at it until I think of something otherwise I'm going to end up using a U360, which is fine but I lke the clickiness of a standard joystick even though I'd be able to play more games with the U360 (Q*bert, etc.). |

A GGG True-Leaf Pro switch would fit into that space. How about replacing the current microswitch with a low-profile 3d printed leaf switch holder, a rod that goes from the cap of the button to the leaf-switch, and maybe a guide for the rod that fits inside the body of the button? Scott EDIT: You may also need to add a spring inside the body of the button. |

I searched GGG site but can't seem to find anything. If I knew how to 3D print a solution I would definitely do it - seems like it wouldn't be that hard for someone if they knew what they were doing. I took the button apart and the button minus the microswitch is plenty small for where I want to put it: I think I'm going to crack open the switch today and see how it works inside. I've got some mini buttons leftover from another project that are much smaller - maybe I can frankenstein some combination so that the switch is actually inside of the white piece instead of below it and add a spring like you suggested. So I'd use my button without the switch and try to position a smaller switch inside of the white piece. Not sure how the hell to set this up but last night I played around with a U360 and it just didn't feel right for this bartop. Think one of these can be used? Otherwise still not sure how I'm going to sort this out. |
