shorter buttons
squirrellydw:
I want to mount buttons on the side of my CP to use as pinball buttons but they are to long, do they make smaller ones?
buks:
I need to do exactly the same thing !
Sanwa do shorter buttons, theres some on this site in the UK - http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/sanwaparts.htm
I'm pretty sure you can get them in the states.
PS Not actually bought or used these but from the description they come with build in switches so they should be just like normal buttons (unless you want leaf switches of course).

Would these buttons work for playing pinball video games??

buks:
I'm not sure as they don't appear to use microswitches (but I could be wrong).
I'm confused by the description of "momentary" to be honest - not sure what it means !
Might be worth searching the forum for them maybe ?

Short leafswitch buttons, or screw-type Sanwa/Seimitsus, will probably be the best bets.
Momentary means that the switch makes connection only while the button is held, and then disconnects when the button is released.
The other type of button would be an On/Off button, that toggles each time it is hit.
With momentary buttons, you will see two types.
The first is Normally Open (NO), which is the most common, and is used in arcade applications.
These buttons are "normally" open (disconnected) when released, and closed (connected) when pressed.
The second type is Normally Closed (NC).
When they are not pressed, they make contact, and allow functions to occur.
When they are pressed, they break contact, and stop whatever process was occurring.
