Yes. These are like as sanwa/seimitsu buttons.
Personally I think for pinballs betters will be normal arcade buttons with microswitches. Ultimarc buttons are a bit shorter than Happ.

These are "deadman" switches.
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.
In arcade applications, the most likely place to see an NC switch is as an open door indicator, where it will cut off power to something when the door is opened.

My experiences with deadman switches have always been NO. Think about it, while the switch is pressed (the person is standing on the pedal, the door is on the back, etc), it allows the circuit to function correctly. Once that lets go (the person has fallen back, the door is off, etc), the switch is lifted and cuts off the circuit.

Those appear to be convex. Not a problem, if that doesn't bother you.

You're right.
I was actually describing series-wired emergency stop switches when I wrote that.
I went back and edited it.

Microswitches to play pinball ? Yugh. That's even worse then playing video games with microswitches.
You want leaf switches, and use the shorter buttons for them:

Installation depths is only 30 mm.

Hm, I never look inside pinball but in my city pinballs (flipers) have buttons like as normal arcade buttons. Maybe they are leaf-switches.
And why not microswictches? There are different type of microswitches - hard, light, very light ....
