1. Overview

The Crown/Samducksa SDB-202M (24 mm) is a 24 mm metallic-finish screw-in arcade pushbutton (Korean-made by Crown/Samducksa) — the start/option/auxiliary-button size. Like the rest of the SDB-202 "Cherry series," it uses a Cherry MX-style keyboard switch inside (e.g. Cherry MX Speed), giving a shorter-travel, tactile/keyboard-like feel and a swappable switch. The metallic (M) version has a metal-look plunger, and it's screw-in for secure mounting. It's the 24 mm sibling of the 30 mm SDB-202M (#536).

2. User Sentiment

Favored by fight-stick/hitbox builders who want a snappier, shorter-travel press than Sanwa for Start/Select and auxiliary buttons, plus the ability to swap the Cherry MX switch to tune feel/force. Metallic finishes are prized aesthetically. The feel is noticeably different from Sanwa/Seimitsu (preference-dependent).

3. Real-World Applications

Start / Select / option and auxiliary (24 mm) buttons on arcade cabinets, fight sticks, and hitbox/leverless controllers — especially premium/metallic builds wanting a keyboard-switch feel and swappable actuation. Pairs with 30 mm main buttons.

4. Technical Specifications

• Type: 24 mm metallic screw-in arcade pushbutton (Crown/Samducksa SDB-202M)
• Switch: Cherry MX-style keyboard switch (swappable; e.g. MX Speed) — shorter travel, tactile/keyboard feel
• Finish: metallic plunger
• Mounting: screw-in (24 mm cutout)
• Sizes: 24 mm (this) and 30 mm (SDB-202M, #536)

5. Ordering & Compatibility

Fits 24 mm panel cutouts (screw-in). Pairs with 30 mm main buttons. The swappable Cherry MX switch lets you change feel/force. Sold by arcade specialists (Paradise Arcade, Focus Attack, etc.). Confirm screw-in vs snap-in, the 24 mm cutout, and the desired metallic finish/switch.

6. Known Issues

No notable reliability issues — the Cherry MX switch is durable and swappable. The main consideration is the feel differs from Sanwa/Seimitsu (shorter, more tactile); confirm mounting, cutout, and switch/finish when ordering.
