| Lighter spring/switch action for T-Stik Plus? |
| << < (2/2) |
| Martoon:
Where's the best place to get these Cherry switches (without doing a $25 minimum from Happ)? Are these the same ones Bob Roberts has, under the Joystick section with the description Replacement Cherry " " .187 tabs w/actuators 10 for $12.50? So Minwah, would you say that the action is significantly lighter since you swapped in the Cherry switches? (You don't have to lean on the joystick so hard to make a switch engage?) |

You'd have to trim the actuator as I did, on the T-Stik the actuator finishes in line with the microswitch housing. The action is a lot lighter. I would say it still feels quite stiff in comparison with my J-Stiks, but they are well known to have a light action. What you could do is remove a microswitch from the T-Stik - then press the button with your finger. Does it feel very hard and clicky? Mine certainly did, I don't like these standard switches at all. Compare that to any other microswitches you might have on other joys or buttons - I think you'll find just about any other microswitch requires a much lighter touch to activate. |

Does anyone know where to purchase light action microswitches with the correct length actuators? I'd go to Ultimarc but their minimum shipping cost is ridiculous. I've also looked on Cherry's site but I'm confused about all the options available. Thanks in advance. |
