Title: WTB: Clear triangular buttons
Post by: Sarver Systems on October 21, 2013, 08:01:53 pm

I'm looking for some clear triangular buttons that I can put RGB LEDs into.

The closest place I can find is Australia via Ebay.

Used is perfectly fine, as long as they are in good shape.

LEDs and switches are not required either.

I'm in PA.

I was hoping for a black border with cleat insert, or better yet, black button with clear border to match my other buttons.

I could always paint them, if the price was right.

Happ makes triangular low profile buttons that you can get here (http://www.arcadeemulator.net/cgi-bin/shop/cp-app.cgi?usr=51F2823398&rnd=9940494&rrc=N&affl=&cip=&act=&aff=&pg=prod&ref=Triangle+Low+Profile&cat=Low+Profile+Illuminated&catstr=HOME:Pushbuttons:Low+Profile+Illuminated) from Divemaster.

They come with an incandescent #161 bulb, but you can probably mod it for RGB LEDs.

You can print your own inserts -- the plunger, diffuser, and lens cover work just like the round LED buttons.

LMK if you want pics/measurements on the inside.

Thank you everyone. I now have a few options.

Googling "triangle arcade button" and "triangular arcade button" just wasn't pulling up any useful info.

I just noticed the dimensions on those.

They're gonna be too big.

Does anyone make any that are about 1" on a side?

I'm planning to use them for navigation buttons on the front of a virtual pinball cabinet. I'm going to put them in a pattern similar to a compass. With a 2 position square button in the middle for the "enter" and "exit" button.

Unless someone has a better idea?
