1. Awful, bad feel + bad measurements + bad batch

   I got a set of these a few months back to replace my green PS-14 buttons on my 8bitdo, I just wanted red buttons to match the red LED display of the stick. But never used them since the 8bitdo is a tight package on of the buttons got pushed out. This is due to the PS-15 having smaller gaps for its clips, which rules out the PS-15 for most pre-built sticks. Hence my saying they have bad measurements. The bigger issue is feel. These do not feel like Seimitsu buttons. The action on the switch itself is fine (if you get a good switch that is), but the lighter housing and buttontop make the reaction of the buttons feel off, as in cheap, they feel cheap. On top of that, they don't use the flat tops like the PS-14. Basically they feel like Seimitsus trying to be Sanwas. But the worse part about the purchase has got to be the batch of buttons themselves. If I had been able to properly test these when I got them I'd have returned them since most of them don't trigger or trigger late. None of the buttons have a consistent feel, adding another layer of cheapness to them. The inconsistency is like playing on a wireless stick in a crowded venue, maybe even worse. If you want Seimitsus get the PS-14s, get the standard, not these cheap wannabe Sanwas Unknown on Aug 14th 2021

2. Very nice button; conveniently compatible with Sanwa SW-68 microswitch as well!

   I've got this exact color button installed on a limited edition joystick. I didn't like the original PS-14-G buttons that joystick came with but I still wanted to "keep it" in the Seimitsu family so I bought a set of PS-15 buttons in the same colors of the PS-14-G's I sold to another SRK member. I haven't regretted it. The PS-15 is already more like the Sanwa buttons because it has convex (bulging out) plunger instead of a flat plunger like the PS-14-G. The PS-15 also has the advantage in that that like any Seimitsu pushbutton which uses the 24mm-style microswitch (PS-14-D switch) it can also use the Sanwa SW-68 microswitch. SW-68 and PS-14-D's are interchangeable. The microswitches are very different feeling but they are swappable and can be used to replace the other in pushbuttons were they switches have become worn. I chose to install SW-68's in my PS-15's and have a hybrid pushbutton in that Limited Edition Seimitsu joystick (with stock LS-32-01 lever) that I have. They're nice-looking buttons. Probably my second-favorite Seimitsu pushbuttons after the much-missed, limited edition Pearls which were absolutely the closest Seimitsu pushbutton in feel to the Sanwa OBSF-30. And Pearls feel more Sanwa-like even with the stock PS-14-D microswitches in them! Ya hear me, Seimitsu? Bring back the Pearl pushbuttons!!! You FINALLY got a shaftcover for the LS-32 line, it's time to bring back your softest feeling pushbutton! GeorgeC on Mar 8th 2020
