(Don't ask me why it's in the bushes)
They are selling for $30 + shipping, so DIY might be a better option, but this might be the finishing touch needed in that game room. 8)

I saw these a few days ago and im trying to workout how i can make it as i couldnt even buy these if i had the money 240v down here im not sure i trust the type of switch he's using without more info
I have found some clipsal push button switches altho they cost as much as that persons selling so i will see how i go but i think this would look good replacing all the switches in the house it's different and looks good
Howard_Casto:
It shouldn't be terribly hard to make. Electronics aren't necessary. Get the low-profile light switches (those with a large plastic pad instead of a lever), remove the pad and use ultra low profile sanwa buttons. You'll probably have to dremel off the part of the button that holds the micro switch, but that's fine.... all you need is the little plastic tab that presses the m/sw.... it should be enough to trigger your light switch.
Of course this wouldn't work in homes with those crappy "slim" electrical boxes as the buttons and faceplate are going to add a bit of depth to the unit.

This is such a ridiculous product, I'm beside myself. Someone drilled button holes and put in a different switch. On top of that, there's a reason light switches, even the large lever type, are 'up/down'.
