Short buttons on LCD Selector?

[djsheep]

I have an fairly old CPS-2 Multi Kit and recently printed a case for the LCD and it seems as if the buttons are a bit short.

I remember reading about this a long time ago but couldn’t find the thread?

Was the fix to install different buttons, or is there a 3D printable case that allows for this selector variant?

Thanks in advance.

I think different (longer) buttons can be had from @Mitsurugi-w, but most likely can be ordered direct from Digikey as well

the fix is to install the proper, longer buttons.

Thanks! Anyone have a part number to look for?

I believe I have some spare. I can send them with your S16 OLED if you like.

I'll let you know this evening. If I don't have any you can grab them ex Jaycar.

Thanks @Frank_fjs, good to know they're available at Jaycar too.

I think they might be long enough...

If not, Altronics have the 8mm version:

Wait, looking at the official info it seems 12mm high switches are needed...

This is what you need:

Not worth paying the shipping ex Digi-Key for the switches alone. May want to order some other stuff as well or piggyback off one of my or Sean's next orders...

Thanks for figuring it out @Frank_fjs, it’s no rush at all, will note it down for a future order. Cheers.

I thought I had a few as I was sent some to repair an LCD damaged in shipping from a CPS2 multi kit. I must have sent the spares back to the customer as I can't find them now.
