Thanks for the tips! And yes I am from the UK. This is intended to be a little extra something for someone's Birthday, so I wanted to keep costs as low as possible, but at the same time it needs to be something they enjoy and I would prefer to get quality parts because I expect they will get a lot of use out of it. I didn't realise there would be such a quality difference because they all look so similar.
So I went on arcade world's website. They sell a 1player kit for £31.19. Says button hole required is 28mm but I will have 30mm so not sure about that? Other than that they are not LED buttons, I would consider it still if its worth it, but because this particular kit looks exactly like the stuff on ebay I am not sure

The only LED buttons arcade world lists that I could see fit 30mm holes are branded (Seimitsu), and are nearly £10 for each button. That is way to expensive for me.
The Xin Mo is £15.59 without LED and £21 with LED interface so not much in it. I am not sure if the LED one includes all cables necessary for LED wiring though? It says it includes 1 x Wiring harness.

So I could be looking at:
Xin Mo is £15.59
10 branded buttons, 8x30mm and 2x24mm, £21.96
Branded joystick £20.39
£57.94 total.
More than I wanted to spend but if its the best thing to do then I might just have to put up with it.
