  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
I'm trying to color match the buttons on my machine to my blue and orange sanwa joysticks.  I got the orange matched perfectly, but I can NOT find LIGHT blue happ style buttons anywhere!  I've spent hours searching google, and all I've found is stock photos of exactly what I want  :banghead: or a site in China that sells them in cases.  Ultimarc has the gold leaf buttons that match, but.... I like clicky buttons. (plus $16 shipping for a couple buttons)  Any ideas?

Get a bunch of white buttons and Rt Dye.
- There are a variety of dye colors available.
- If you dip the buttons for a shorter time, you can get a lighter shade.

Funny you mention t-molding.com, I am sitting next to 6 of their blue buttons that definitely looked lighter in pictures

Interesting.  Dying may be a last resort option, I'd really rather find them.  I know they exist.. somewhere.

I looked a few places. I found some convex ones that looked like they'd match, but no concave buttons.
