This is a big improvement from the factory mushy button. Feels great and is quiet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Use them for everything! *by D***L on June 29, 2024* Very quiet buttons! Good if you don’t like the super clicky ones. ### ⭐ Only 1 of 10 of the ones I received are within spec. Awful. *by C***D on February 6, 2025* Awful. I love Adafruit and all they do for the maker community so when I needed a couple of these switches I figured I'd grab these rather than wait 4 weeks for my order from overseas to arrive. I could forgive the inflated "free shipping" price easily enough, however ***only one of the 10 switches is within specs and works cleanly***. A couple of them work if you really mash the switch. I've used these exact switches from other suppliers and know that they don't go to 0 ohms when pressed. The spec (these are OMTEN TSX8855S switches) says these should be 50 ohm max when closed, but the batch I got has a closed resistance of 120 ohm plus or minus 60 ohm in my batch of 10. This value is simply too high to overcome the pullup resistor on my microprocessor. This is likely why some reviews here are "they're great" and others are "these are terrible". Different projects use different pullup/pulldown resistors. Regardless, these are out-of-spec and will waste your time. My guess? They've been sitting in a warehouse with very low turn over and have oxidized to the point of being broken...just like a remote control on an old TV where some of the buttons need a very firm press and eventually stop working. Advice? Do not buy them here unless you *know* that 100-200 ohm "closed" resistance will matter to your circuit. If you don't know, then yes: it matters. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/249821414-adafruit-3101-soft-tactile-button-8mm-10-count](https://www.desertcart.at/products/249821414-adafruit-3101-soft-tactile-button-8mm-10-count) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
