converting a happ/cherry joystick button from momentary to toggle (on/off)

[michelevit]

I've got a odd idea. On my cabs with illuminated trackballs, I usually place a micro-toggle switch
underneath the joystick/control panel box to turn on and off the trackball lite. Sometimes its nice
to turn off the trackball lite.

I  also place a happ/herry button underneath for a secret credit button.

Does someone make a cherry style switch that is a toggle on/off that will replace the momentary one?
I would like to wire up the trackball lite to an arcade button. The mircotoggle is ok, but a joystick button
would be nice and I have a surplus of them.

Thanks for any response in advance. (I just threw out my digikey catalog as part of spring cleaning.)

I would also like to know this information, because I have about 10 extra buttons/microswitches that I don't really need on my current cab, but have a few cool ideas with things to use them for .

just curious what you are thinking to use them for?

I'd like to switch my marquee on and off,
lit the trackball and
also turn off my subwoofer.
I'm building another cab that is going to have some neon and other lighting effects.
being able to switch them on and off would be a nice option.

I have a 12 inch sub that is awesome, but would like to wire it, so I can turn it off
for late night gaming. No need to wake up the entire home for some late night head to head joust.

i hope someone here knows of a switch that will clip right in a happ button.
