stupid question about tactile switches

Post by RNS0504 »

How do you use them? I used momentary switches on my n64p, but how do tactile switches have 4 leads when momentarys have 2? What are the diffeences between the 2? how do you wire them?

actually tactile switches only have 2 leads. I think they have four little pins sticking out so you can mount them. just check and see which pins are connected and you'll see that one isn't connected to the rest, or that 2 pins are connected for each lead.
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!
