Non Arcade (admin) buttons.. What kind and where to find...

Hi,
I was thinking of adding a couple of admin buttons (add credits, ESC, etc) and I did not want to use real traditional arcade buttons. (although I would not mind using volcano buttons if they where cheaper)
Radio Shaft has a few that would probably do the trick.

can any one recommend other buttons? and where to buy them?
Thanks

I used regular arcade buttons for admin functions.
But, I used one from your second link to replace the on/off switch on the top of the cabinet.
