We are high school engineering students trying to get an arcade button to work with our arduino uno. We have been trying test the button using this tutorial (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Button). We were able to successfully test the simple momentary button that came in our arduino kit. Currently, we are trying to replace the simple momentary button with an arcade button (Arcade Button - 30mm Translucent Red : ID 473 : $5.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits) by connecting the arcade button to the breadboard with quick connect wires (Arcade Button Quick-Connect Wire Pairs - 0.11 (10 pack) : ID 1152 : $4.95 : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits), but the arcade button did not work.
This seems to be an normal switch that should be replaceable with you momentary switch from the kit. Your Google-Link does not work, it needs further permissions.
I suppose the switch could be faulty. Most people would test that with an Ohm meter. Surely someone there has done that. So, the only other possibility is to examine how you have the wires connected to the two switch terminals. Are the wire insulated? Did you remove the insulation? Did you test those connections with the Ohm meter?
With the new switch wires pressed into the proper breadboard holes, and the switch still not working, try shorting across the switch terminals with a piece of metal, such as a screwdriver. That should act just like the switch should operate.
If all still fails, just put two wires in the breadboard holes and press them together. Does this work? If not, trace the connections for those wires back to the Arduino connections, using the Ohm meter.
Somewhere here you will find the bad connection.
