Hi there,

Pretty simple question, I'm hoping: what would be the ideal size for SMD resistors to take the place of the pull-up resistors used in the NES-004 controller (between +5V and the 4021 IC)? From what I've read online, I've gathered that they are 1K Ohm, but is going with a 1206 resistor package too much bulk? This is more of a productivity/convenience question than anything, I guess; the less tiny a resistor I have to use, the better for my sanity. Thanks in advance.
