I really need to get some Game Fingers but can't find them anywhere.. Do you know where I can get them?

[@KindOldRaven]

And... you can lube mech switches to make them even smoother and change the sound profile quite a bit.

In terms of gameplay, I like arcade buttons with full-size keyboard switches. I used all-button controllers with low-profile switches, and I miss a lot of inputs because the travel is too short that the game sometimes registers it as a simultaneous button press. With the full-size switches and longer travel, you can really distinguish a linear movement vs. a simultaneous press, especially on older games like Alpha or 3S where inputs are very strict which are played better with a stick than an button box

Im planning on using these for the reverse and foward pedals in my future car

[@JohnsonQi]

i got mouse click buttons, they sounds so fking crisp, responsive, and featherweight.

Sanwa switches *are* mechanical switches...

[@mdan2086]

Try the kailh navy speed thick clicks. Silence is for the dead.

[@RezTheHero]

istmall has them if anyones wants to grab them, only problem is its more expensive, but they do have them in stock.

I used to use crown buttons, but after finding out about some not great business practices done to Arcade Shock I went back to Sanwas. Something not brought up in the video which is a big oversight is spacing. Some sticks have issues with fitting screw in buttons into their housing due to PCB placement or how close the button holes are together making it difficult to tighten the retaining ring. Also due to cost I would say mechanical buttons aren't worth it if you aren't a serious player as they are much more costly than Sanwas. For aesthetics they also come in fewer colors which for a casual player who is trying to get a particular color scheme or theme Sanwas have more options. However everything is personal preference. I own 8 sticks (gave away 2 for a total of 10 I bought over getting into the hobby last April) and I would say buying mechanical buttons is a luxury that won't improve your play so I caution against spending $50 on crowns when you probably have Sanwas or Hayabusas in your stick (depending on manufacturer), although I dislike the throw of Hayabusas and prefer concave Sanwas.

Yo if you still want a mechanical style button I did some looking on eBay and found these punk workshop buttons

Good movie

U can replace the modular parts in a sanwa (any) button too. In the past I never had problems finding those parts. U can buy screw versions of sanwa and seimitsus also. Also in ur last video where u talked about buttons and silent buttons I felt like their were def some discrepancies (24mm easier to find?? Huh???). Also big disagree all around about silent buttons, but then again I didn't put the foam in my buttons, I bought pre-made silent buttons (I know it's same tech but its diff installation, the foam isn't loose etc).

[@AndyLO2]

the 24mm were easier to get when more sites were still carrying gamerfinger before the pandemic when I got mine

[@KGershkoff]

@@AndyLO2 You can't even GET Gamerfinger buttons anymore! I tried earlier this year. Sticking with Crown Samducksa 202s.

[@ChootyBeeksMC]

I also couldn’t find those buttons so I had to whittle a set from balsa wood and avocado pits. Thanks ANDY

[@AndyLO2]

the balsa wood buttons with the pit base? godlike

[@thumbwarriordx]

Honestly I see no point in using a linear keyswitch in one of these. The ball bearing switches are the most ingeniously simple and durable short-throw linear switches around. And cheaper, tho you may have bought cherrys in bulk and have spares. As far as I'm concerned the gamer fingers are about getting weird.

[@vishramramoutar]

had some gamer finger buttons on order since April 23rd, I wanted to build a new hitbox for strive. The order is still processing LUL.

[@hesrizen1519]

Check my other comment, sengoku densho selling gamerfingers, they produce again, but atm seöling their buttons through sengoku

[@vishramramoutar]

@@hesrizen1519 is noone selling in america seems like alot of hoops

[@Qwaylix]

How are the feel of the mechanical buttons with tactile switches like the gateron baby kangaroos?

[@pkphantom]

Are those crown buttons still available? I wanted to grab gamerfingers, but the only sets I found on Amazon want to charge me over $100, and I'm not trying to spend all THAT on some buttons 😅

[@joshuapacman]

Are black gamerfinger more like smoke or clear grey

[@Vic-tz3gl]

Yes

[@Vic-tz3gl]

ASI & IST sell Crown 202s. IST also sells Crown 201s which are louder and have more travel. I'd say go for the 202s personally, but 201s aren't bad imo. And I like Sanwas the most of Japanese buttons. Seimitsu PS-14-Gs aren't bad either in my opinion. All personal preference

[@jorgeFLuna]

Recently got my official hitbox... looking to switch the buttons out. We’re can i get those gamer finger buttons (24mm)

[@James-xm8uu]

Do not order gamer fingers from the gamer finger site. I ordered them 2 months ago and still haven't received any communication. I'm having paypal escalate right now

[@jorgeFLuna]

@@James-xm8uu thank you ,was really going to try and order them off of the site!

[@leonz5020]

how is the hitbox?

[@johnburland3318]

@@James-xm8uu did you ever get them?

[@nan2236]

what switches do you have for the buttons?

[@Kit-oh]

mx silver i think , it's the default

[@Darksid3c3]

Doesn't matter at all i have optic switch keyboard, custom keyboard, cherry mx red switched keyboard you Don't feel anything till you see logs Even it's physically fastest keyboard don't reach the numbers they promised due to softwares For example i have 0.2 ms optic switch keyboard but in reality it's 5 ms Also fast doesn't mean you can do fast as that it depends game you play For example when I play sf6 with optic switch keyboard i see my button logs i do the do right input but action not come out so don't think about buttons this much pick what you comfortable with it And focus on PCB and software Doesn't matter what do you play with (joystick, arcade stick,hitbox,snackbox,keyboard)
