Seimitsu PS-15 Low Profile Pushbutton Light Blue/Black
-
Excellent performance with SW-68 microswitches. Seimitsu should check molds, though...
The PS-15 is an old pushbutton design and allegedly one of the early short-throw pushbuttons marketed. It's a REALLY short pushbutton. I think only the Hori Hayabusa pushbutton is as short! As bought, the PS-15 is fitted with PS-14-D microswitches but these are swappable with the Hori Hayabusa microswitches and the Sanwa SW-68 microswitch used on the Sanwa OBSF-series (both 24mm and 30mm) pushbuttons. Personally, I think the PS-15 performs better with the SW-68 microswitch and feels a LOT more comfortable with this Sanwa part, too. For a while, the modded pushbutton may feel awkward until it settles in or you get used to the feel of the SW-68 microswitch installed in it. I have SW-68 modded PS-15s (red and light blue) installed in two HRAP Classic bases and they perform well with the Seimitsu LS-32 lever combination. I do have a criticism as noted in my headline... I really think something is going on with the molds or Seimitsu is not doing a good job monitoring mold injection. I found imperfections on several of my PS-15 bodies and have to shave some rough "hard flash" areas off the bodies. The PS-15 pushbutton does tend to fit tightly into faceplates so don't go removing it all the time. You may break the pushbutton trying to remove it. It's difficult to tell when the nibs are removed. I had to remove the nibs before installing the PS-15s into a joystick base that had a plexi cover. The nibs on the PS-15 are extremely narrow. Considering how tightly the PS-15 fits into faceplates, I wonder why Seimitsu bothers including nibs in this pushbutton's mold! GC001 on May 19th 2024
