Power Switch Source

Post by hoopstar » Mon Oct 15, 2018 10:08 pm

Hey Guys

I'm wondering what power switches you use in your GBZ's..??

Everything I've found (and ordered) has either been way too big or way too small.

Thanks for any help in advance

I use these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Pcs-x-6mm-Hi ... 2749.l2649 (apparently out of stock from that seller)
You need to snip a couple millimeters off the tip, but they work great, with just the right amount of slide.

I used an original one from an old GameBoy.
