EG STARTS 10x 24mm Arcade Push Buttons Switch for Video Games Arcade Machine DIY Parts Mame Jamma Raspberry Pi KOF Arcade Pinball Machine Parts & Accessories

I started making DYI Hitboxes and had need for 24mm buttons. I wasn't really sure what I was doing or wanted, so I started with the cheap stuff and worked my way up as I figured things out. I ended up buying some of just about everything you can get button wise, and I ended up preferring a generic brand I got here on Amazon that came cheap in a wide range of colors. Unfortunately they seem to be unavailable now and I was pretty unhappy that I may not be able to find a replacement I liked.Looking and reading about these, the looked and sounded like they might actually be the same product under another seller. The color options aren't there, but housing is identical down to odd details, and I was able to swap caps and bases to make two color buttons and everything fit perfectly with the older stuff I got. After checking them out, they do appear to be the exact thing I was using.Reading about these buttons I probably wouldn't think I would have like them so much. Them being loud and clicky sounds like it would be off putting, but the assurance in both feel and sound is something I'm personally sold on. They are very much like cherry blue mechanical keyboard switches in both feel and sound. Lots of people like that in a keyboard, but finding it in a button isn't easy. The major brands aren't like that, and I think there is one hard to find option for it, but it's not easy to get a hold of, and it's not near as cheap.I don't feel like there are any build quality issues. I've had had a couple of boxes seeing heavy use for several months without any button failures in sight. I say they feel just as sturdy or even more so than name brands. I know my Seimitsu 24mm buttons feel far flimsier. They are probably functionally closest to the Sanwa buttons, but higher profile, clicky, and requiring a little more force. I didn't personally like how easy it is to press the Sanwa buttons, and really appreciated the extra, required confidence for pressing a button. Not a lot of accidental presses with these.The only warning I can think of is the fit slightly tighter in the holes I drilled. My Sanwa buttons kind of just wiggle and spin in their holes, where as these fit idealistically. They go in without any effort, but stay snug in place. In my case it's a perfect fit, but I don't know normal it is for a Sanwa button to spin around in say a metal face plate you might order off of FocusAttack.It's apparently not for everyone, but I really like having a click style button option. These are super affordable in why not try it sort of way. The color options are a problem, and buying the assorted colors isn't very cost effective way around it. That aside, I think these are functionally very good, and worth a look.

I needed some nice responsive and durable buttons for a project I'm working on and decided on these. While I can't say if they'll work for millions of presses yet, I can say they feel well built and have a nice tactile click when pressed. I like the very light resistance to avoid accidental input.Also, mine smell very strongly of roses for some reason? Maybe some fragrance was spilled onto them in the warehouse? Very weird.

I thought I'd take a chance on these buttons considering the cost, and I somewhat regret the decision. Let me first say that the vendor was extremely accommodating, allowing me to cancel and reorder the colors I wanted without any problems. That alone boosted this rating to 3 stars. I bought black and the white (the white ones have yet to arrive, so I can't comment on those yet).I bought these to make a custom Hitbox and figured I would chance it for the low price of the buttons. The buttons are shaped exactly like the Sanwa, but that's where the similarities stop. Sanwa 24mm buttons are sensitive and will depress and activate will very little force. For comparison, if you rest your thumb on a Sanwa button, the weight of your thumb should be enough or very close to enough to depress the button. For these Jiu Man 24mm buttons, the weight of the thumb is not enough...in fact, you have to push down with more force to activate the button press. I can imagine my fingers would get fatigued much faster with Jiu Man buttons...and also, because I'm not use to force required, I'll make more command errors when inputting my moves.I'm not sure if the buttons will soften over time or not...and I'm currently trying to figure out how to reduce to tension on the switch to closely match those of genuine Sanwa buttons. I'll keep the ones I ordered because I can use them for other projects even if I can't figure out how to reduce the tension.Overall, I don't think I can recommend these buttons if you're looking for Sanwa replacements. These are not nearly as responsive. They require more force to depress and activate. If you're looking for cheap buttons for projects that doesn't require fine, precise control...I think these will be fine. Also, these buttons would be fine for "Option" or "Select" since those buttons aren't required for accurate gameplay.**Update** 05/26/17I was able to modify the EG buttons to be similar to Sanwa 24mm buttons. The button resistance is depended on 2 mechanism within the switch: a spring and a retention clip. I found that if I reduce the length of the spring by 4 spirals and remove the retention clip altogether, the response and force required to depress the button is very close to that of genuine Sanwas...but never exact. The reason why EG buttons can not be exact is because of the length of the plunger (button). The button is slightly longer than Sanwa buttons, as such, the responsiveness will always be a fraction of a fraction of a fraction less longer than that of the Sanwas. Still, it is close enough that difference would be imperceptible to the average user. If you're a pro fighting game player, you'll still want to take a pass on EG buttons. If you're a hobbyist (like myself), and enjoy fighting games, modifying, and want to be above par in skills...these may be for you...if you don't mind doing some modifications. Although, please take note than any modifications you make could harm your ability to return these to the seller.Oh, another added bonus of removing the retention clip is that it dramatically reduces the "click" sound when the button is depressed. Because of the successful modifications of the EG buttons, I've decided to increase my rating of 3 stars to 4 stars.

For future buyers, this is the style of button that has a very distinctive click and lengthy travel time, something similar to how a mechanical keyboard feels; which is what I happened to be looking for. As a comparison, with the buttons I swapped out, I would accidentally perform inputs because they only require a fraction of pressure; a fly could activate those things.

We're smaller than I thought great as a fidget toy for work

You actually have to push until it clicks to activate it. Has a nice clicky/spring feel to it. Probably not good for constant mashing or multiple presses though. Used these for the start buttons on some Arcade Sticks I modified.

I used this for the start button of my Mayflash F500 and it works great. There is a lot of travel so I wouldn't recommend it for heavily used buttons but it makes a great start button!
