On the shortest setting, the Qanba KT button throw distance (marked with I on the plunger) is shorter than the Sanwa OBSF-30 throw distance. I took some throw distance measurements (±0.02mm accuracy) for comparison listed below. Sanwa OBSF-30 = 2.54mm ±0.02mm Qanba KT (I) = 1.48mm ±0.02mm Qanba KT (II) = 2.06mm ±0.02mm Qanba KT (III) = 2.41mm ±0.02mm Note: The Qanba KT has a bit of a "flex" at the bottom after the actuation point (sound dampening silicone) which I didn't include in the throw distance measurements. I hope this helps.
@@sewerPig Have you looked at the Qanba KS series buttons? The 24mm KS has a 1.92mm (±0.02mm) throw - still shorter than OBSF-30. And also, it's a bit shorter than the OBSF-24 throw which is 2.42mm (±0.02mm).
@@DinodraxChronicles wow really? I looked at the original gravity 30mm buttons and heard that they had a longer throw than OBSFs so I didn't look into them further; I just assumed that the KS are the same but just snap ins. If they are different and are a shorter throw than OBSFs I'm gonna have to check them out then, thanks for the heads up!
I was waiting for this review, thank you
You're welcome!
is the throw distance on the shortest setting shorter than a Sanwa OBSF?

@@DinodraxChronicles thanks, now that I know this I wish they made 24mm variants😭
