Just received these little fellas. They are tiny! Perfect for mintyPi.

yeah the ones I have that i thought would be fine are way too big for the size of the hole in the guide. so I think I need some of those.
edit: GAH! 99p for 50 (china-kong) or £1.99 for 2 (UK)
might have to go salvaging ;)
(this is where i use one of my expensive adafruit latching tactile buttons...)

Talk about mark up! I just bought 50 for $1.19...still not sure why as the 10 i have ($4) will be enough. If you're waiting for delivery once I get them ill send some your way 😂

This is true. I'm 40+ days waiting on speakers.
Last tracking update is "39 days ago - arrive at United States airport."

Not sure about that. I ordered 100 of the thin tactile switches (because I didn't read the wiki page carefully) and the USB sound board on same day. The switches came from China and the board from North Carolina. I live in Michigan. I got the switches 4 days before the board.

So I would have to say that DHL is, in fact, the slowest mail known to man. lol
