Title: Non Arcade (admin) buttons.. What kind and where to find...
Post by: lokki on December 30, 2004, 06:37:41 pm

Hi,
I was thinking of adding a couple of admin buttons (add credits, ESC, etc) and I did not want to use real traditional arcade buttons. (although I would not mind using volcano buttons if they where cheaper)

Radio Shaft has a few that would probably do the trick.

can any one recommend other buttons? and where to buy them?

Thanks

I use some of the ones from the second link on the sides of my cocktail table for thing like enter, ~, pause. works out well and the price is right.

I used regular arcade buttons for admin functions.

But, I used one from your second link to replace the on/off switch on the top of the cabinet.

For admin functions I used Radio Shack #275-1547 (http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F011%5F002%5F015%5F002&product%5Fid=275%2D1547).  For turning the pc on and off I used Radio Shack #275-618 (http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F011%5F002%5F015%5F002&product%5Fid=275%2D618).
