Opinions Needed On LED Pushbuttons: UltraLux vs. Paradise Arcade vs. Others?
(1/4) > >>

Hi guys. Looking for some completely translucent (no chrome) colored LED pushbuttons for my machine. Paradise Arcade has them for a great price and there was a very informative video on YouTube comparing their buttons to a competitors. They look like a decent button, but I haven't really seen any feedback from ppl who have used them. Ultimarc's UltraLux buttons are quite a bit more $$, but I've seen some good reviews about them. Just wondering if anyone has used both and could give a comparison? Would like to see information about quality of the button itself, how well it illuminates (is light evenly dispersed on top of button?), and any other feedback that might be helpful in deciding which button to go with. I've spent quite a bit already on the machine I'm building. So would be nice to save some $$ on the pushbuttons. But if it means that I might not be happy with the product, then I would rather spend a little more. Also, if there's an even better option than the Ultimarc or Paradise pushbuttons, please don't hesitate to mention that here. Thanks!

I have the paradise arcade buttons, but I have the chrome bezels.  The buttons work great, I have them paired with the 20 microgram microswitches, I am pretty happy with them.  They light up great, no hot spots.  I haven't tried the Ultralux buttons, the Paradise aracade ones work well enough to where I didn't try anything else. 

Buttons are cheap.  Just buy a couple of each and decide for yourself

I appreciate the info. I need 28 buttons for my machine which will quite a diff in cost between Paradise and Ultimarc. And I would love to have a sample of each to test, but shipping is a killer for just a couple of items. That's why I was hoping to get some feedback from actual users. ;-)
Donkbaca:
Yeah, I hear you on that.  But shipping from both places is pretty reasonable and super fast.  You ordered a couple today and you will get them by mid week.  Shipping from Paradise is like 6 bucks, and from Ultimarc its like 15 or something.  A little pricey, but you figure you would be out maybe 20 bucks in total to get the buttons you really want, to me, its worth it.

Why do you need so many buttons?  4 player cab?
