I'd love to see these things get used in a cool way on a home build.

2 player fight layout might get pricey  :)

Uni-axis 1-bit tracksemisphere?  ;D

They are good for DDR / Music game applications.  Maybe good for a giant "ON" / "Wake-Up" button too.

I'm sorry Dave, but I'm afraid I can't do that.

I think Louis Tully's latest build would be a great candidate for the green one.   ;D

I think that two white ones would work great for Chicken Shift.

EDIT: Forgot that CS has two buttons.

Typically you'd see buttons like those on
Redemption games like the kids games at chuck e cheese's. but those ones here are pretty nice.
  How about a kid friendly classic games controller with those big buttons.

D'oh! Haven't played it for a while -- forgot it has two buttons matching the colored "pipes". 

I was picturing a jumbo "egg" -- anyone feel like doing an "Ostrich Shift" clone.   :lol

Star Wars Arcade used a big ass button like that for the "action" button.

Look up "pop'n music".
