Sanwa latest and highly anticipated addtion to their hugely popular arcade button lineup comes in the form of 24mm translucent buttons! Available in 6 colors, these still feature the feather-sensitive, competition-ready SW-68 microswitch and are a great completement to your existing setup. As with the OBSC-30, with care you can add artwork to these buttons as well.
If you are not certain about how paper artwork is inserted into the Sanwa OBSC, this quick tutorial may assist.
24 vs 30mm |
When processing orders, a frequent mistake we found among new players is choosing the wrong size for action buttons, such as punch and kick. Within the fighting game genre, Japanese arcade buttons commonly consist of two diameter sizes: 24 millimeter and 30 milllimeter (mm). In most configurations, 30mm represents your action button. These are front facing, appearing most prominent on your Fightstick control panel. Option button, such as "Start", "Select", or more recently "Option", "Touch", or "Share" are usually 24mm. UPDATE: Owners of Neo Geo AES Joysticks will need 24mm pushbuttons instead of 30mm (Thanks SRK's DEZALB) Below is a visual representation of a common Fightstick control panel. Throughout this article, we will mark 24mm in green, and 30mm in Orange. Checking the Proper SizeAnother way that players can misinterpret the pushbutton size is by measuring the pushbutton plunger. Have a look at the diagram at right. The plunger - the part that you press down to represent an input - is 25mm or a bit smaller in most 30mm pushbuttons. Often this leads to the conclusion that one needs a 24mm button and not 30mm. Similarly measuring the button rim can lead to confusion, as it is intentionally larger than the button hole it is placed in. You don't want to use these measurements. Instead, review the button housing diameter, or the hole the button will be placed in. You can do this with a caliper - a digital caliper is often quite helpful for this and other arcade-related projects. Control Panel ConfigurationMost Fightsticks from MadCatz, Hori, Qanba, and similar will use these two sizes. How the buttons are used will depend on the model joystick that you own. Over time, we'll provide example configurations for specific popular Fightstick models and arcade cabinets using the color key for 24mm (green) and 30mm (orange). We'll also expand the key for future models if another size is introduced, and we offer for sale.

Tabs broke after just once putting it in and taking it out, without excessive force. Still works but doesn't feel as good loose. Go with screwbuttons if possible. Elliott on Jan 25th 2024

Nice product, fast delivery. Unknown on Oct 28th 2017
What more can you expect from the classic Sanwa buttons? I placed this into my Hori Real Arcade Pro Kai 4 to replace the stock "Options" button and this provides the high quality Sanwa feel I am used to. Unknown on Aug 12th 2016
