Do they make Jumbo
« on: July 15, 2005, 10:12:31 pm »
Push buttons like these

http://www.happcontrols.com/pushbuttons/954002xxxxz.htm

That are NOT light up?

I wanna built a control panel, or just add the buttons to my existing for the game "Got Ca" or whatever its called..

and honestly, 8 bucks PER button, seems a tad steep..

Now, is there another company that has similar, or hell even a size inbetween NORMAL pushbuttons and those "jumbo" ones that arnt lit up..

You might want to check with some makers of industrial buttons.  They use large non lit buttons for emergency stops on machines all the time.. check out this site for some examples of what I am talking about:

http://www.ab.com/industrialcontrols/products/push_buttons/index.html

You might be able to find a local distributor of industrial electronics that carries a button you may need.  I'm not sure if it will be cheaper than 8 bucks though.  Also, make sure you get a momentary.. sometimes these buttons are the rotate to release type.

Good luck,

Are these the same buttons used on arcade Pop'n Music control panels? I remember them to be much more expensive... Guess I should thank you for bringing this to my attention since I always wanted to build a Pop'n panel.

In my uninformed opinion these are as cheap as it gets because these don't sell that much compared to standard pushbuttons.  They were way overpriced before.

How many do you need, anyway?
