Button Inserts
Drnick:
Just think of a few more things that you would really like and order them at the same time as the button. Then the $5 shipping will feel quite cheap by comparison >:D >:D

Indeed! If you go the Paradise Arcade route they've got all sorts of intersting items. If you have lit buttons, they've got EZswitch button connectors that are great for grounding the light and switch together with one wrire, or for making your light turn off while the button is pressed.

I always throw in a couple of things so that my order ends up around $20, with shipping. Maybe order a few extra buttons so next time you aren't scrambling to find one ;D

Any of them with a clear or translucent top, of course.
Here are mine (awaiting a new cp):
I see the clear ones on a lot of fight sticks, where people have their artwork continue accross their buttons.
A cheaper route is a square or rectangular 8-liner (poker machine) button.

How did you make those inserts for the buttons with letters?

I painted the white inserts that come with the buttons silver and had pongo cut out the vinyl letters for me.
Here's the info I sent Pongo if anyone wants to do the same exact thing.
But I did it first! :P (even if I haven't gotten the cab built yet)
--- Code: ---Need 4 each: A,B,C,D,X,Y,Z
Arial Black font
14mm tall
white vinyl
--- End code ---
(I ordered double in case I screwed up)
You could draw xbox looking buttons, print them out on photo paper and put them under clear lenses.
I was originally going in that direction, but couldn't get them to look the way I wanted because I'm not that good with illustrator type programs.
I'm pretty happy with these although the silver came out of the rattle can a little darker than I expected.
