Compact Grove micro switch for development boards
The Seeed Studio Grove Micro Switch provides a snap-action contact that closes with a light press, making it suitable for hobbyists and engineers who need a simple digital input on Arduino, Raspberry Pi or other platforms with a Grove socket. Its plug-and-play connector removes the need for soldering or custom wiring.
Consistent actuation under repeated use
The mechanism delivers a relatively large contact movement from a small actuator travel, so the electrical state changes cleanly each time the button is pressed. Fast response and quick reset mean the switch behaves the same way during long test sequences as it does on the first press.
Low voltage operation with minimal force
Rated for 3.3 V and 5 V logic levels, the switch draws only the tiny current required by the microcontroller input pin. An operating force of 80 g keeps finger fatigue low during manual testing, while the 10 g module adds negligible load to a breadboard or enclosure.

Questions about this item
Does the 80 g operating force change after continuous daily use?
The switch is rated at 80±20 g and designed for fast response and quick resume, so the actuation force stays consistent over long periods.
Which development boards or extension shields are needed to plug the Grove cable in?
Any Arduino, Raspberry Pi or other platform that provides a Grove unified socket will accept the included cable directly.
Will the 3.3 V or 5 V logic level match the GPIO pins on my existing microcontroller?
The module works at both 3.3 V and 5 V, so it is compatible with either logic voltage without extra level shifting.
