i used use a regular GBA
i just got an SP in that game crasy deal and was disapointed with the D-pad. It feels like it has Tactile switches instead of the traditional pad with the conductive carbon buttons.
my question is directed to people that use thier GBA SP very often.
have any of you had your D-pads die on you. I've taken a look at those kind of tactile switches (the kind i suspect the SP has) at work. Ive spoken to distributors (of switches) and they all said those buttons are popular becasue of the nice feedback you get from them but they do have short lifespans.
I have not been able to find any info on the "guts" of the SP so i am still going with my impression that the d-pad is a set of tactile switches. Does any one know if im right? Has anyone had thier d-pad die?
there are a few kind of tactile switches, the ones im thinking of are board/panel mount not the membrane type
Yes i can take it apart to check but i just got this thing and my GBA use has been rekindeled. I don't exactly want to risk breaking it since it looks like it has a few snap fit sections.
this is the regular sp not the new brighter screen version
