Put your project in stealth mode with these super slim, super tiny, and silentMini Soft Touch Push-button Switches.
They’re less ‘clicky’ than tactile switches, they have a rubbery elastomer that feels good to press. No dangly spider-leg-pins to solder as these buttons are SMD. We see these often in little game arcade pad layouts due to their small size and soft feel.
They come in a pack of 10, and they’re pretty handy so you’ll want to keep them around.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
