Title: Where can I buy "large" arcade-type input buttons?
Post by: Juggernaut1 on July 02, 2005, 11:05:02 pm

Hi,

I am looking to use a large (say 2 inch diamerter) button to connect to a USB microcontroller.

I have found plenty of standard arcade size input buttons on ebay, but I am looking for something that is larger.

Can anyone recommend a url where I can find larger type buttons?

Thanks!
Juggernaut

STOP!

DON'T BUY FROM WICO!

I've seen so many bad experiences from people who shop from wico and have even experienced it first hand.  THEY SUCK!

Happ has the same button for arround the same price and their customer service is on a totally different playing field from wico.  Do yourself a favor and buy from Happ.
