Handy little grab-bag of small momentary button switches, 3 different pots (1k, 10k, 100k) with knobs, and button-caps for your project enclosure. The button-caps are all for the 5 larger buttons by default however. Button caps that are compatible with the medium or small buttons would have been nice as well. The buttons all snap into breadboards well, the pots work with breadboards if you hang the pot over the edge of a single-power-rail board, but the pins do not snap very well into the breadboard holes in most cases, bending or cutton off the ground-legs may help.

Handy bag of starter pieces. Haven’t worked out what to use the smallest switches for, they are tiny

Good components but the potentiometers do not fit the bread board of Pico Explorer.

Great kit. I just wish it came with instructions so I knew the schematics of the pin layouts etc.

Good, useful set for experimenting. Works out cheaper than buying individual pots & switches.

Great little set- still need to work out how to get the buttons to play nicely with my raspberry pi- could do with a little digram of the insides of them!
