19:07 <electronic_eel> esden: I think using a side actuated switch is a good idea, it will work better with differen cases and also with wide addons on top

19:08 <electronic_eel> the only thing I'm worried about is that someone might rip it off because pressing too hard (think emergency)

19:09 <tnt> Honestly I'm pretty sure I'd rip the usb cord rather than look for the switch ...

19:09 <electronic_eel> currently the tabs go into npth holes, as per the datasheet. the holes are 0.9mm dia, the tabs are 0.7, so they don't hold tight

19:10 <electronic_eel> how about making the holes through hole and solder them in with pin-in-paste?

19:10 <electronic_eel> a proper solder joint will take sane amounts of actuation force without issues

19:11 <electronic_eel> tnt: I think I'd be faster with the button than with the usb cord

19:13 <tnt> I guess to each his own ... my hand is sitting like 2 cm aways from the usb side of my laptop so that's definitely where I'd instictively go.

19:14 <electronic_eel> ah, you'd pull on the pc side. that would be very hard for me, all my usb cables go into a hub which is a bit buried below stuff

19:14 <electronic_eel> but with the pc weight acting as counter, you are right that that would be fast
