Gikfun 12mm Waterproof Push Button Momentary On Off Switch 5 Colors DIY Kit for Arduino (Pack of 10pcs) EK1925

might need a debounce routine but work perfectly

my mistake!! i thought is a switch!! but it was only normally open push button!

These seem reliable for what I needed. It was easy to solder wire to it. The leads are far enough apart to do a decent solder job. I’m using these as trigger buttons for sounds to a Halloween chainsaw prop.

Update: seller remedied the issue quickly. New pack of switches were just as originally expected.Cheap quality, not all the nuts fit the threads making some switches unusable.

Used for re wiring my cruise control

At first glance the spring seems way too stiff for typical DIY electronics projects. It does has good 4mm of travel, but here is the problem, it activates at less than half millimeter of travel, before the spring is even engaged. So despite the heavy spring, it activates as soon as your finger touches it. This could cause issues when the switch controls a toggle function, or counts the number of depressions. I also ordered the Mini Push Button Switches which feel much better than these.

I purchased these buttons to increment digits on an Arduino based scoreboard project. When I hooked one up, it counted up multiple digits with one button press. Yes, I put “debounce” code in my software and even increased the “wait” threshold to compensate until it worked as I intended. But by that point the code became too sluggish and miscounted when pressing multiple times in a row. These switches would be fine for simple projects like demonstrating how you can light an LED but not for precise counting as my application required. I ended up ordering another type of switch which cost me a few days progress on my project. I’ll hold onto these for a later, less demanding project.
