Title: looking for smallish flush mount buttons
Post by: tony.silveira on February 13, 2015, 04:17:56 pm

hi guys,

i am looking for some smallish buttons, black preferred, that bottom mount so that they will be flush with the top of my panel.  this is the closest that i have found but they are to large for my needs.  any suggestions?

Route some depth and drop in a regular button, cover that in wood putty or bondo or epoxy or whatever, and just hope you don't ever have to take it out.

One option is to use arcade buttons recessed like is typically done for system buttons on fight sticks.
You would basically counter sink them.
Sanwa and seimitsu have some smaller buttons that would work well.

I've been poking around for mini buttons and I don't recall seeing what I think you are looking for, but I also wasn't looking for that. Here is a link to 20K+ buttons, maybe something there will strike your fancy:
