Button Options

Projects General Guidance

I am not sure if this is the right section for this or not so I apologize now.

I am building a project where I like to have a decent looking button that can with stand a lot of abuse. I like to have it at min the size of a arcade button and be easily wired to the arduino.

The button needs to momentary stsp preferably default on but not a requirement as I can change the configs for that. I found this one http://www.robotshop.com/productinfo.aspx?pc=RB-See-144&lang=en-US and like it but not sure if I can use that on the arduino. (I am still learning about electronics, I am better at the coding side).

There are other simpler arcade buttons I found on sprakfun and other sites for between 90 cents to two dollars. if any one have any good experience or suggestions let me know.

This is for a photobooth I am building for my wedding and I expect as people get more liquor in them these buttons will get beat up a bit more.

The arcade buttons are designed to be beaten on. The microswitch they use is replaceable in the event that it wears out, or you could even exchange it for a higher amperage switch if needed. They also typically allow both a normally open or normally closed connection (note the three connections on the bottom).

Thanks I got these in the mail and they work great. They were very simple to wire as well.
