Desperately looking for light blue pushbuttons
DeLuSioNal29:
Have you considered having the buttons light up? With the Electric Ice Buttons (paired with the LED Wiz) you can actually adjust the colors to any shade of blue that matches in real time. Just adjust it until you get the hue that you want.)

LED Wiz:

The only down side of going this route is it can get a bit pricey. However, another cheaper option instead of the LED Wiz is to use the LED Wiz + GP, which allows up to 16 outputs and 16 inputs where you can kill two birds with one stone and use it for lighting and for your control inputs as well.

Hmm, this would have been a nice option, but I've already purchased input controllers. This would set me back about $75 + shipping for the LED Wiz + 14 buttons/switches, which is quite a bit more than I'd like to spend. Perhaps for my next cabinet, this looks like a really versatile combo. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks,
JC

They're not as maintenance-free as microswitch buttons, but you're not building a machine that will be abused by thousands of strangers in a public arcade, either. For home use, you'll more or less be able to install them and forget about them.

Is there a preferred brand/vendor for leaf switches? It seems everyone is making microswitch buttons now.
Thanks again to everyone who chimed in with their advice! I really appreciate it.
Thanks,
JC

I don't know about a preferred vendor or not, but a quick look shows light blue (I think) pushbuttons here:
