Does anyone know where I can pick up the buttons on the heltec v4? I need about 3 or 4. I have one v4 that it lost a push button in a mishap. Unable to use the current one since the solder tab is broken off. Thanks for reading this.
Buttons for heltec v4
Any 6x6x6 tactile button switch should work!

Tips for replacement:
- These are through-hole and relatively easy to desolder/resolder with a soldering iron (use flux, wick, or a desoldering pump).
- Match the pin spacing (standard 6x6mm footprint) and ensure the height doesn’t interfere with any case or enclosure you use.
- The board schematics label them as things like RESET_SW, USER_SW, PRG, etc., connected to GPIO0 (PRG) and CHIP_PU (RST). Functionality is standard—no special parts needed.
Clearly project509 is AI. The link says smd but “they” stated that the linked switch are through hole. Wrong footprint, also.
Anyway, here are switches that should be a direct replacement.
