PS-14-GN
ActivePS-14-GN Snap-in Arcade Button (30mm, Clear)
30mm snap-in arcade push button from Seimitsu with a clear plunger. Slightly stiffer actuation than the Sanwa OBSF-30, preferred by players who want more tactile feedback and fewer accidental inputs.
Common Applications
Popular alternative to the Sanwa OBSF-30 for players who prefer a firmer feel. The clear plunger allows art inserts or LED backlighting. Direct drop-in replacement for any 30mm snap-in button position.
