Buttons double firing -- please help
ahofle:
OK I'm ordering a bunch of new microswitches from therealbobroberts.com.

Solderring is frowned upon because if you order some Quick Disconnects for $6, you have better contact and it's easier to remove. Basically, its the idea that you don't have to take apart the whole thing to replace a switch or two, instead, you pull the connect off and slide it onto another switch. Solderring is fine, but QDs are cheap and reliable.
ahofle:
Where'd you get them for that cheap?
cholin:
The quick disconnects? Peale has a link in his sig and if you look under Connectors, he sells them by the bag of 100. I plan on buying some when I get some cash in the good ol paypal account :)
EDIT: Sorry, I said Paige, meant Peale, fixed.

Well I found a new unused cherry switch in my garage from a 3 player start button I never got around to installing. I replaced one of the buttons that always 'skipped', installing it with no soldering. I haven't been able to get it to happen yet in about 100 clicks. So it looks like it must be that my switches are bad. 10,000,000 click MTF ---my bottom---. :P Very odd. Maybe overheating them with the soldering gun was the catalyst that accelerated their premature failure. ???
Thanks for all the help. :)
