Product Description
A compact 6x6 mm tactile switch engineered for gaming controllers, delivering crisp, consistent feedback and exceptional lifetime under rapid, repeated presses. Optimized for action buttons, bumpers, D‑pad, and menu inputs where accuracy, speed, and durability matter.
Key Features
- Long-life design: up to 1,000,000 cycles (force-dependent)
- Fast, crisp tactile response with low travel for rapid input
- Low bounce for reliable detection and minimal firmware debounce
- Multiple operating force options for tuned feel (light, medium, firm)
- SMD or through-hole versions for flexible assembly
- Height and actuator options to fit rubber domes and mechanical caps
- Stable performance across temperature and humidity
- RoHS/REACH compliant, halogen-free
Gaming Controller Applications
- Action buttons (A/B/X/Y), D‑pad directions
- Bumpers (LB/RB), auxiliary/menu/guide buttons
- Mode select, pairing, macro/function inputs
- Portable and retro controllers, fight sticks, handheld consoles

- Storage temperature: -40 to +85°C
Materials & Construction
- Housing/base: LCP or high-temperature PBT for reflow stability
- Stem/actuator: PA66 or POM for wear resistance and smooth travel
- Contacts: silver alloy with nickel barrier; optional gold flash for enhanced reliability
- Spring dome: stainless steel for consistent tactile snap
- Plating: lead-free, corrosion-resistant
Mechanical & Electrical Options
- Mounting: SMD gull-wing or through-hole (straight/bent leads)
- Actuator heights: multiple profiles to match rubber domes/keycaps
- Feel variants: quiet tactile or audible click
- Dust-resistant top options for sweaty/humid play environments
Reliability & Compliance
- RoHS and REACH compliant; halogen-free
- Process-capable for lead-free reflow; consistent force over lifetime
- Designed to minimize drift in actuation force and contact resistance under high-duty gaming use
Packaging & Logistics
- SMD: tape & reel (e.g., 3,000–4,000 pcs/reel) for automated placement
- Through-hole: bulk or ammo pack
- Lot traceability with date code and inspection records
Assembly Guidelines
- Reflow (SMD): peak 245–255°C, per standard lead-free profiles; avoid mechanical load during reflow
- Wave/hand solder (TH): ≤260°C for ≤5 s (wave), ≤350°C for ≤3 s (hand)
- PCB thickness: 1.0–1.6 mm typical; keep-actuator alignment with rubber dome
- Design tips: support pads to limit shear, debounce 1–5 ms in firmware if required
Customization & Ordering
- Tunable force curves and travel for specific button feel
- Custom actuator heights, colors, and caps
- Optional enhanced plating for ultra-high cycle life
- SMD/TH footprint conformity to common 6×6 layouts
- Provide target lifecycle, force preference, height, and mounting style to receive a tailored part number and datasheet
