three years isn't horrible. make the controller semi removable and you can perform maintenance on it if need be.palmertech wrote:I like them as well, but they are not rated for nearly as many presses as a tact switch, much less a real NES button (THose have lasted for DECADES).
Easy to use, but as Triton said via AIM: "lol yeah so instead of 3 decades of use it lasts 3 years lol".
Pretty much sums it up.I am gonna wait a year or two and see if these portables are still going with these buttons.

Re: My new project! GBOsnes! new pics 2/11/09
i didnt say 3 years i said "so a button that lasts years instead of decades" honestly it would supprise me if these lasted less than 10 years. on a semi related note ive roughly figured out the final thickness! it will be GBO thickness plus 7-9mm! or a quarter to one third of an inch added thickness! wish i cold get it down to less but i think that .25" is about the minimum, heres a slightly updated pic

I can't believe that I didn't remember this project
I guess it was in the middle of my buisiest time of the year and I missed it.
