JDFan:
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.

Is there anything blocking it on the other side?  Could you flip the mount 180 degrees?

It's just the one button so I'd rather not make all 4 stick out.  If I can't figure it out I'll probably ditch the ServoStik for U360 or something.  Not sure yet.

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.).
PL1:
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?

EDIT: You may also need to add a spring inside the body of the button.

This would be awesome if it works - do you have a link to the switch?  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.
