Title: Button Colors?
Post by: javeryh on September 23, 2004, 01:10:43 pm

Is there anywhere that has color photos of the pushbuttons available?  "Blue," "Green," etc. don't quite tell me the whole story (is it light blue? dark green?)...

those are the happs microswitch buttons.  Check the buttons section of therealbobroberts.com, I think he has a few more pics in addition to that one.

You can check the auctions on eBay too.  They always have pics.

Check Bob's leaf-switch buttons too. There is an amazing variety of colors available for leafswitch (including transparent ones and one Ive never seen anywhere else, gray.)

Yeh and Bob also has the "marigold" Galaga/Omega Race color leafswitch buttons. Arcade Shop Amusements has the pastel blue and yellow Joust leafswitch buttons. And now I've recently seen Tom from N2NEW/specialty Plastics is now making the Donkey Kong orange leafswitch buttons. Take all these plus all the standard color leafswitch buttons both opaque and translucent and you end up with a color selection that blows away the color selection thats availiable for microswitch buttons.
