Daytona VR button alternatives

Howard_Casto:
So I haven't worked on my racing rig since I left for my medical issues.  I want to get it at least in a playable state before winter hits and it's too cold to work. 

I was looking at the control panel I made and I'm not sure if the standard 4 VR buttons and start button are going to fit (it's only 24 inches wide and about a foot tall).  So are there any alternatives out there that would do the job?  I'd very much like to light them and to have the 4 colors but other than that outside-box-thinking is fine.

Howard_Casto:
That's an idea.... I could probably do that in software though. 

I kind of want 4 buttons though.  I was wondering maybe if there were any suitable buttons outside of the arcade industry.  I searched a little but what I found wasn't much smaller than standard buttons.  I've got these little miniature toggle buttons for a project I still need to finish..... They are certainly tiny.....about the size of a volcano minus the bezel, but they only come in black.

baritonomarchetto:
Have you considered to place the buttons in a vertical layout?

VLT(video lottery terminal) buttons.  Crazy expensive from happ.  Every once in a while you can find them on ebay for a reasonable price.   You'd probably go for the square ones if trying to keep things compact.  I'm hoarding rectangular ones.  I had one set of square color ones, but think I may have parted with them already.  I'll see if I can dig them out this evening.

EDIT: 8linesupply has blue or white for $2.95 each, but they're special order.

There is another page where you can add custom text to a white one for $3 extra.

 I see some on ebay that say 1".  I don't think they're that big.  If so it's measured from the outside edge of the bezel.
