Push Button with LED indicator - how to?

Hey,

I am new to the Arduino community and am just about to start my first project.

I want to build a simple button with a LED light indicator.
The button press should just toggle the LED on/off and send a Keyboard command via USB to the computer .. how hard would this be to do?

I was thinking about getting a Teensy USB 3.5 Controller, some push button with LED .. and start from there, but .. any advice? :slight_smile: I am fairly certain the programming side will be no problem for me, but I am all new to the hardware stuff..

Also, any recommendations for a button?

I found this one:

But would I be able to turn the LED on/off with that one?
Also, it seems to be quite huge and high .. a smaller one would be great.

Cheers,
Ariyala

It is very simple to do.
Wire up the button between the input and ground. Hereโ€™s a good link to read about it Inputs

Push buttons come in all shapes and sizes and they will all work.
