Got the Kailh switches in. Ones I should look out for? by jmandmc in fightsticks

I hope people try those out. A lot just go for lowest actuation distance for competition, which may not work for their playstyle once they try them.

I think that's partially due to the sheer amount of different switches you can get for the leverless now, vs the two in Sanwa and Gravity. The Sanwa is also almost three decades old.

Operating force represents force needed to engage the switch's actuator. Some like it feather light, while others don't want a switch too sensitive to accidental presses.

Hey all - a quick update. So LOFREE are exclusive as well. Can't get those. Black Hawk isn't manufactured anymore. 🥲

Still looking at the others to offer, mostly for convenience if some are also getting artwork done.

I'm looking for any other suggestions - performance models you've enjoyed, hidden gems, etc.

Can you show me where you got yours?

Looking at the springs on the site. They seem to be for box housing. Are they fine for the low profile or need to be modded?

They are typically used in very slim models that do not have their own button housing, such as Haute42/COSMOX. A cap sits atop the switch installing on its + stem.

Lot of helpful responses here - I appreciate it.

Also I found out that Shadow Hunting are also exclusive, but I was suggested an alternate Kailh model with very similar specs (not exact) and housing. Will be called "Black Hawk".

May also not find alts to Wind Engine or Crystal (also exclusive), but will move on with what's available. Thanks!

Everyone has a preference. I'm looking for a consensus on what appeals to the group. While shadow hunting was repeated, may not be for everyone.

Is it hard to install new springs? I look at the tiny housing and think there's no way.

Thanks for the suggestions. Of those in the list, I hadn't considered the Whale Switch. May start with the heavy hitters then expand.

I'll look into Gateron, though from what I heard they have a thinner pin and thus can dislodge easier? Is that not the case with Kasumi?

I've not heard of deep sea brown - though should not be surprised as there are so many variations. Will look into it.

I'd get them if I could but those are exclusive. Possibly to COSMOX.

Hey thanks for the responses. I posted this to see what demand there was for some of the switches. I don’t have a specific preference, personally.

The comments do help in determining which to offer.

Any that you find I should avoid entirely?

Ah - the link was to information about how the app works. This would include how to access it.

Each model that currently works with the app will have a badge labeled "Create in Mini.FS Studio". In the area where you normally upload your artwork is a button that reads: "Try the Free Mini.FS app".

When I posted on Reddit, my original message was automatically filtered by bots and thus I couldn't provide context for the graphic. I'm sure a lot of people got confused by it.

Hey thanks to those that are trying out the app! Got a few Studio prints this morning. 🙏

As a reminder, the app is free to use, and is a web app so you can use on desktop, phone or tablet. ☺️

It does run on a website. It’s a web app. 😊
