The Sanwa OBSN-30mm series screw-in pushbutton is specifically created for wooden joystick enclosures with a thicker top. The adjustable screw feature and lower form-factor make it ideal to use in your custom set up.
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
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.

For my latest button upgrade I decided to try a screw down option. These buttons feel just as responsive as any other Sanwa part but offer even more secure of an installation. No worries about breaking these from hard presses. Tim on Jan 24th 2018
So I get this to set a layout on my fight stick for the color codes used on Street Fighter, so this is for my medium attacks.
They are replacing another sanwas so the feeling is the same but is great to have the screw option, were really easy to set up, a lot easier than the push ones. Andres Serrano Garcia on Apr 13th 2017
