hows it going.. i want to build a classic arcade joystick using metal sheeting.. i have already made one using wood, but i find it to cumbersome to have in your lap.. partially due to its height.. i can't make it smaller with the standard height microswitch buttons.. i saw buttons that would fit my needs at this url: http://www.highway.net.au/parts/buttons_and_joysticks/4680.html thing is they dont do credit cards.. and most other sites have a limit whereby u gotta spend over a hundred or something.. and if you dont they tack on 25 extra for there hassle.. i understand why but i'd rather not pay the extra for the sake of 20 buttons.. im in Eire and was wondering if someone knew a more local site that would suffice?.. |

Happs sells a low profile button similar to the one you posted: http://www.happcontrols.com/pushbuttons/601200xx.htm I used these in a set of YDKJ (You Dont Know Jack) low profile controllers and got around the Happ minimum order by buying from ponyboy who is a member of BYOAC and Happs parts distributor. Not sure if the height requirements fit your needs but another option for you to consider. |

sounds exactly like what i want!.. one question though.. is ponyboy a website or someones username? (i'm new,sorry bout typo) |

ponyboy (not body) is a user at this site. an excellent vendor with rock-bottom prices! geez...i sound like such a commercial advertisement. |

I read somewhere that those buttons mentioned earlier on Happ's website are the same as Sanwa 24mm buttons. 24 mm buttons are actually very small, and I can't imagine using those as the main play buttons (they are actually used for start buttons in Japanese cabinets). You could also get the regular type of Sanwa button at www.himuragames.com . All Japanese style buttons are pretty "low profile", so they would work in your case. |
