Where can I buy "large" arcade-type input buttons?
« on: July 02, 2005, 11:05:02 pm »
Hi,

I am looking to use a large (say 2 inch diamerter) button to connect to a USB microcontroller.

I have found plenty of standard arcade size input buttons on ebay, but I am looking for something that is larger.

Can anyone recommend a url where I can find larger type buttons?

Thanks!

STOP!

DON'T BUY FROM WICO!

I've seen so many bad experiences from people who shop from wico and have even experienced it first hand.  THEY SUCK!

Happ has the same button for arround the same price and their customer service is on a totally different playing field from wico.  Do yourself a favor and buy from Happ.

HERE'S A LINK

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen
