I picked up some Happ concave buttons, and loved them. They came with Cherry switches, and the force to activate them was perfect....I'm a bit of a button slapper, so I wanted a light touch.
I wanted to move to LED, so I picked up some of thses: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LED-lit-Arcade-Push-Button-Mame-Multicade-Choice-of-5-Colors/221064005914?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LED-lit-Arcade-Push-Button-Mame-Multicade-Choice-of-5-Colors/221064005914?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649)
Those, however, require quite a bit of force to activate, compared to the Happ. I even replaced the Blee switches with some Cherry, and it's still too much...must be the plunger spring and not the actual switch creating the pressure. Plus I learned I really don't like convex buttons:) Does anyone have a recommendation for something lit, green, concave, and with a light touch? It's a bit of a pain to keep trying buttons, so hoping someone will have a recommendation.

The electric ice buttons from groovygamegear might fit the bill and the are a couple of options in terms of the actual switches in them. I use the cherry leaf springs and they are pretty light weight in terms of force needed to press the buttons.

Thanks, but they sadly seem to be sold out of the concave:( Anything else you can think of that would be a nice fit?

I am putting ultimarc gold leaf buttons in my current build. They have a light touch:

I bought them from this site http://arcadeemulator.net/ (http://arcadeemulator.net/)
They were a bit cheaper than direct from ultimarc and shipped out quick.
Edit: I just realized you were looking for led buttons. Sorry
