I am finally experiencing some significant failure of some of the micro switches on my SC6000Ms and given that they are well-passed warranty, I was going to systematically replacing all of the micro switches on each deck.
After looking extensively, I’ve seen people mention the Panasonic EVQ-PAG05R being a good replacement, and I wanted to confirm this with anyone who has done similar.
Are these the most durable switches or are there better on the market?
Are all of the micro switches on the SC6000/M 6x6x5mm in size?
Pre-inMusic Denon had on some controller models switches with only 10.000 presses and that lasts less than a year if used regulary so this one should be good for a few years.
100.000 would be nicer though… what are the specs of the original micorswitches? 6 x 6 x 5 mm but what activation force? 2.6N? Also, models in the thread here are both dual and single stem per side…
Thank you. It looks like the devices use 2 pin, through hole mounted, rounded switches. Not too sure how much that matters. To be honest, i’ve not taken apart a deck yet.

Sharing this image of the SC6000 control PCB for anyone in the future who finds this thread and wants to look at the button layout.
Personally would do it only of there were previous issues with the fader that required cleaning but I’m certain you could find some Alps models that fit
So i’m no electronics expert (hence the call for help), but it seems that Radial in this context has to do with where the leads are placed, according to this site.
Radial lead components, on the other hand, have leads coming out the same side. You might see this feature called out in electromechanical switches, primarily with through-hole tactile switches that feature radial lead packaging.
