I should say that the site linked is VERY broad. There's a lot of non-arcade and industrial stuff there, so don't be surprised if you search for "pushbuttons" and get some weird looking stuff. :)

Found these "imitation" parts. :)
Had to do some searching but it that difficult.

Mmmm, take a look at my first fault in getting arcade controls:

Of couse this is only one example. As I already indicate in that thread, there is plenty decent quality stuff coming from Asia...but I would stick to the "brands". Suzo, Happ etc.. Think about it: these companies have served the arcade industry for years and years. Operators want things to last, a broken machine=no money. They don't carry rubbish. And yes, it does make a better game to not be irritated by clumsy controls....it's worth the money IMHO.
Ninja Supremacist:
So this experience happened only a few weeks ago? That is a valuable cautionary tale. I wonder though... is it more the fault of a dirtbag eBayer rather than the Chinese manufacturer? Or are you pretty sure it's the manufacturer? Granted, the enclosed leaf switch is a bit suspicious.
