So I've build up a button like in this example but instead a 10k Ohm resistor I used a 230 Ohm one. The board run fine and the button example works correctly but I'm still worried if there will be any long-time consequences from this. I'm a total newbie at electronics. Also when the button is press…

What if I use 230 ohm resistor with 5V input to Ground?

I think it is because people associate LOW with off and have a hard time with off being on.
