  • Product Description

    Playing until 2am while allowing your family members a good night's sleep was nearly impossible until now. Sanwa's "silent" pushbutton - the OBSFS - dramatically reduces the sound of your command inputs, allowing you to play confidently while others in your household can relax.

    Foam Disc Padding

    The loud tapping noises that defined Sanwa's original line of joysticks are no longer part of your gaming sessions.  A light foam disc now muffles the plastic points that make contact during a button press.  Sanwa's signature SW-68 microswitch is just as sensitive to your inputs as before; there is no compromise on quality.

    Silence is Golden

    The SANWA OBSFS-30 continues as the standard in high-quality Japanese arcade and commercial joystick pushbuttons. These buttons are compatible with the MadCatz line of FightSticks, Qanba FightSicks and Hori Fightsticks.  These low-profile buttons are specifically for custom joysticks that use a metal control panel.

    Sanwa's 30mm button snap right into most configurations, and offer the best reaction time, smoothest and quietest of any button.  The buttons are available in a variety of colors for great customization.  You can also buy multiple buttons and swap out the rim for even more customization.  

    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 Size

    button-30mm.pngAnother 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 Configuration

    Most 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.

    1. Quiet

      Works as advertised. Hampers the sound quite well and doesn't feel all too different from regular Sanwa buttons. Worth a purchase if you don't like the clicky sound of normal Sanwas or if you live with others. on Dec 3rd 2019

    2. Silent, but deadly.

      The Silent Sanwa OBSFS Buttons are a great choice, not only for playing in the night time, but in tournament as well (Hint). Highly recommend purchasing. on Dec 21st 2018

    3. Very Nice Feeling

      It is indeed silent. And against my attempts, it feels on push ! on Nov 29th 2017

    4. Best option for who prefer silent in the housr

      Totally worth to buy if you prefer more silent button sound when gamming. Item arrived safely and working well. Tq Focus Attack! on Jun 21st 2017

    5. silent buttons

      Great color go great with my new Madcats sf2+ on Jan 11th 2017

    6. Smooth like butta

      First time ordering parts from focus attack as I am now transitioning from pad to stick. Buttons are on point and do not disappoint. Using them on my Mad Catz TE Round 1 SFIV Edition. on Jul 31st 2016

    7. Silence is golden

      These silent buttons are great! These are the second set of silent buttons I've ordered and they never disappoint. I recently played fighting games and there were a lot of people in my apartment at the time. Because of how silent the buttons were, no one even knew I was playing fighting games! Even when I was mashing buttons haha. None of them heard the usual loud clicking and tapping of the buttons. These are also great for when you play late at night :)

      Definitely recommend them.       on Jan 21st 2016
