Silent input for handheld builds
This pack supplies ten soft tactile buttons designed for quiet operation without a clicky feel. They suit makers assembling portable consoles or custom controllers where low noise matters. Each button measures 7.8mm square by 4.9mm high and weighs 0.1g.
PCB mounting with breadboard flexibility
The switches perform best when soldered to a printed circuit board yet remain usable in a solderless breadboard for quick testing. Their normally-open pins close momentarily on press, fitting standard prototyping layouts without extra components.
Ten-piece pack supports iterative prototypes
Ten buttons per pack let builders populate multiple control points or keep spares for redesigns. The silent actuation suits projects such as PiGrrl, PiGrrl 2, Pocket PiGrrl or PiGrrl Zero where the original elastomer feel is preferred.

Questions about this item
What is the activation force of the tactile switches?
The activation force is not linear or documented, but a similar switch is listed as 120gf.
Do the buttons generate audible clicks during long sessions?
They have a soft touch with no clicky feel, so they remain silent during extended use.
Can the pins be used directly in a solderless breadboard?
They work in a solderless breadboard, though they are designed to work best when mounted on a PCB.
