You need a tactile switch with a bit more actuator travel for a finger press or a mechanical linkage, and you want to know exactly how much force it takes. This 6mm right-angle switch pulls at 130gf – firm enough to avoid accidental triggers, light enough that it doesn't feel like you're pressing a doorstop. Normally open, single-pole, single-throw. Solder it in and your circuit's sorted
