Tiny buttons on XIAO SUCK!

I’d prefer a slightly large PCB with usable buttons and a connector for a battery. I’ll likely be using ESP32C6 boards in the Feather form factor. Tiny boards just because you can is not customer-friendly

I think Feather is Adafruit product… yes the small buttons are hard to use

I can’t do it anymore, this was a poor design decision. I’ve used tons of the c3s and they are great but now that I’m using the s3 and c6 with the small buttons they’re useless. I need to find another dev board, these small buttons are just impossible to use

Hi there,

LOL, we feel your pain sort of, I had to 3d print a cover that has a bigger button (big RESET) thread. They should make something like it for ALL the Small button unit.

FWIW, The Xiao Dev board has a Reset button that’s a normal size btw…
