Shortest Barrel Pushbuttons
two40:
Seimitsu buttons are also pretty small. Much like the Sanwa ones.

+1 on Japanese parts (including joysticks, especially Sanwa). More compact, and IMHO much better all around.

Just cut the housing toward the top so you still have the threads where you need them and cut the same amount from the plunger in the middle.
If they feel too stiff, cut the spring. :P

That's a brilliant idea! Never thought of that.
What kind of glue did you use? Epoxy?

Because they won't take the microswitches I have here?

I used superglue, but epoxy would probably be better.
It was on the start button of my newer driving cab dash, so it doesn't get as much use as a normal button.
I would think it would hold up fine as long as the nut isn't overtightened and kids aren't prying at it.
