After trying all the other home button solutions for 7/7 pluses and 8/8 pluses and being really disappointed, we were curious if anyone has tried this yet. It’s a non bluetooth solution and appears to not need the charge port replaced as well. Claims to be plug and play.
If you’ve tried this solution or have good knowledge of it, please share your results.
Is this a good question?

Have a look at this recent thread where @benjamen50 has some interesting info he shared: Can you still use home button after replacing Logic Board?

ah ok yeah im very aware of the first two variants of home buttons. those bluetooth things were a semi novel idea but like you said, unstable. we were not able to use them for corporate repairs because of the way our MDM is set up (bluetooth does not function until the end user enters their credentials).
we'd like to try a couple and see if they work, but they are currently sold out as soon as they get new ones in. interested to see how they perform long term.
@chriskennedy44 I'd be inclined to think is out of stock because of the side issues/damages it seems to be causing. In case you try it out please keep us updated with your findings.
we just got a few of the new style buttons in to test. will update this post with results

we did finally receive several of these new (YF) versions of the home buttons. they do “work”, and give haptic feedback, but are very glitchy. Several times there have been random black screens that took several minutes to recover from, and at least one boot loop. The buttons also seem to get warm, and have sluggish performance at times, as if it has a delayed reaction. I cannot, in good faith, recommend using these current buttons unless they work out the bugs. If i have any say so in the matter, we will not be sending out any of these to end users.
