Prebuilt controlls

I'm thinking of building some tactile switch d pads. I'd be selling them for around $4 each (mainly because of parts cost) and would be making a first run of 25. Just figured I'd see if there was any interest in them

Just for my knowlege and anyone else who might not know are "tactile switches" the ones like what the atari used or the kind that everyother system today uses?

I don't even think that the atari used tactile switches, although I might be wrong.

yeah, I might buy a coupe . it'd save me the trouble of making a custom D-pad and it would also mean more work for gannon .......j/k, I'd buy them to use them in portables, not to make you suffer gannon .

the atari had everything etched on to its PCB in the joystick, with a metal dome that covered it. When the joystick moved, pressure would temporarily collapse the dome and make a connection on the PCB.

Guess I got that confused with Mindstein's VCSp. Those are exacly what he used for the controllers on his project.

Might buy some, but the D-Pad bust off my third party SNES controller, so, I have a d-pad anyway now.

Those are really easy to make, the hard part is mounting them on the case. Cutting out the D-pad shape and stuff is a a pain. If you could come up with a design where all I need is a hole to mount, then I'd buy a couple.
