WTB: 100 mm dome push buttons

[yoyopro1]

Hey guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I was looking into building a custom Pop'n Music Asc, and the buttons are  expensive, even at $10 per button.
I found a seller in china with the buttons for $60, and http://www.canadianjoysticks.com/aftermark-100mm-large-dome-push-button/ , but I don't live in Canada, and I don't think they'll be anymore reliable than something used by someone here.
So I was hoping I would get lucky and somebody would be nice enough to sell me their used (or new)buttons, generic or not, for under $60.
Pretty please

Or if someone has a vendor that sells them for really really cheap

Not much chance of finding a lower price on 100mm illuminated buttons than $4.93 (the price right now) on those "Aftermark" buttons you linked.

My only possible concern would possibly be the quality/reliability of those vs. the Happ buttons.   

Divemaster127 (Gary) has Happ buttons here that look like that size.



Happ page for that part is here -- 2nd photo has dimensions.

Don't order direct from Happ -- they are infamous for charging outrageous shipping costs.

P.S. There are some european suppliers that carry them, but not sure where you are other than "not Canada".

Sorry to forget, but I live in California, USA, home of bacon, guns, and morbid obesity.
I don't need buttons as reliable as Happ buttons, for the sole reason that I'm building a controller for use at home, and only for me. The shipping cost on the canadian site is too much, and I was hoping for anybody with used ones  , but I doubt anybody will sell me theirs.
Sorry if I seem like a newb(cause I am) , but I was thinking of using these "tap lights", gutting them and using the button part

What do you guys think? Is it worth the hassle, or am I better off buying other buttons?

also, I'm open to any cheaper same sized/kinda shape with no lights or anything fancy.

Several guys dissected them in this old thread.
