and they have a pretty wide range of microswitches available. They don't do mailorder, but I'm planning on going there tomorrow and can take some pics of what they have for you. I know I've picked up a few cherry switches there before, but I don't recall the price.
I'll post back here tomorrow and let you (and everyone else) know. I'd be happy to fill a few orders-the place is located only a couple miles from me.

meh.
they had a lot of different kinds of switches, but everything was $1.00 each. You're better off somewhere else.

We can do Japanese Sanwa switches for $0.70 each for 50. They have actuators but these can easily be removed.

Turnarcades:
Andy, do you do bulk cherry switches?
AndyWarne:
We dont have bulk Cherry switches at the moment but I could look at getting some. At the moment all the Cherry switches we have are paired with pushbuttons. The only Cherry switches I would use are those which are stamped "Happ Controls" as these have been approved by Happ QC. I have seen some terrible Cherry switches in the past, some which have a really long bounce time and even some which bounce "forever" when the switch is held down and vibrated slightly.
One issue with Cherry switches is that they have plants all over the world and each has different quality. In fact the same spec switches from different Cherry plants are completely different colors and design, and quality.
Why would you want Cherry when you can get Sanwa? Although the spring pressure on the Sanwa switches we have is slightly higher than the Happ Cherry switches so maybe you are looking for a low-pressure switch.

You plan to sell buttons Sanwa or Seimitsu? OBSN30 or PS14KN? and Seimitsu Joystick?
there are no good sources japan parts in euro, or high prices or high ship. I would prefer to buy all in one shop. You would have a lot of customers purchasers from zone Schengen. I like your service and dispatching DHL, but Your assortment be base at only on classic parts.
