Will these buttons work?

a bag of 20 buttons for $17 shipped .. sounds like a good deal to me.

They're made by XGaming according to the auction. I've seen their controllers used in people's projects, but are they decent?

Thanks!

If all black isn't your thing, remember that Happs has buttons on sale for 99 cents each right now... although they're backordered on red and yellow...

so I guess the question would be:

Which is the greater value:

20 XArcade buttons for $10
20 Happs buttons for $20

I was unaware of the Happs sale but I'll check it out .. thanks!

Well, considering how small the difference is I don't think it is worth paying 2X as much for the Happ PBs

I purchased a set of 2 joysticks and 20 buttons on ebay from Xarcade. Since this is my first project, I'm sure they'll do just fine. I couldn't beat the price!
