This is a modified version of the rodsgear's arcade button caps specifically meant to fit the Kailh Choc v1 mechanical switch.

I tested a variety of different buttons before settling on remixing rodsgear's button. Buttons with included prongs had the issue of the prong breaking off in the switch, and separate printed prongs required a bit of dexterity and patience to properly install, resulting in a mixed ‘yield’ of usable buttons. All buttons I tested had a tendency to ‘wobble’ when pressed on an edge, in some cases working themselves out of the switch. rodsgear's design was the best of the ones I tested for stability and durability, so I tried to remix it to account for the general issues I have with printed buttons for this switch.

Main things I wanted from my adjustments:

  • Prongs are easy to glue into buttons and fully seat themselves into the switch when installed
  • Button is stable to press with minimal chance to get stuck at an angle, doesn't work itself out of the switch when pressed from the sides
  • Button is low profile, ideally flush to the top of the rest of the controller when fully pressed

Side-effects I've noticed compared to the original:

  • The button tops are only 4 layers thick before the recess, so on brighter filament you can see the prong mount through the button
  • Button is louder, as it strikes both switch and underlying circuit board when pressed

Print Settings (using Ender 3v2 - Cura-centric language):

FilamentPLA/PLA+ (should work with PETG per orig as well)
Layer Height0.16mm
Nozzle0.4mm
Infilln/a (100%, it's all wall/top/bottom layers)
Print SequenceOne-at-a-Time for Prongs, All-at-Once for Buttons

Prongs printed side-down. Buttons printed top-down. You might get away with all-at-once prongs on a better dialed in printer but I found there was too much extra deposited plastic for the prongs to fit into the switch when printed all-at-once.

To put the button and prong together; put a small dab of super glue in the button recess, press prongs in to the recess with the prongs oriented toward the center of the button for a few seconds for the glue to mostly set, then put the button aside and wait 15 min. Button should be ready to install into a switch. The glue bond is as strong as the plastic from my experience, so I haven't found a need to weld the plastic thus far. I recommend checking a prong in a switch before gluing into button if you don't want to waste too many buttons.
