Big click button for arduino - Pulsanti grandi per arduino

Other Hardware Sensors

Hello everyone,
I am quite new with arduino but I am learning little prototyping with arduino leonardo to create a mouse joystick for a disabled person. My idea would be to replicate something like this with arduino buttons:

They are big large buttons (5-10 cm) with a "jack 3,5mm output) that can be associated with the right or left click function of the mouse. My problem, however, is that the arduino buttons are very small, can you tell me where to find someone bigger compatible with arduino? Thanks for your help

There are NO "Arduino buttons". Just push button switches. Push for ON and release of OFF. The ones you linked to will work fine if they are indeed push for on and release for off. Also known through out the world as SPST momentary switches. SPST means Single Pole Single Throw switch.
Good luck,
Paul

Thanks Paul for the reply. The one linked in the article are quite expensive (around 70€ each!), and have this kind of "jack" type connection.

Do you think is there a way to connect them to arduino and associate a function with a push on and off (e.g. on push " mouse left click" ) ?

You can use almost any button and switch with Arduino, without using such an expensive device.

If you want to make a HID device, we recommend choosing an Arduino with USB function such as Leonardo or Micro.
