This is a very satisfying button click test for the new button mechanism for the mini-Hall joystick (no gimbal). Most of the parts are 3D printed. Inside, there is an off-the-shelf self-lubricating bronze sleeve bearing for smooth button presses. The force required is 1.8kgf. You can see in the video that such large activation force is not only for the satisfying click, it is also necessary to prevent accidental activation. It's fatal if you accidentally activate the boost button (I often assign it on the F-16 mini-stick button press, and it's a bit iffy with the TM F-16 TQS Viper's puny activation force) inside a space station in Elite Dangerous.

This new mechanism (not shown) is much straight forward than the previous working design, and is only possible with the newly released stainless steel dome switch with back lighting (I am no...
