I bought a regular pushbutton to be used with my arduino. It looks like this http://www.auspicious.com.tw/product_info.php?products_id=357
Is there any way I can wire to get it to work with the arduino. It does not seem to work like my PCB 4 wire pushbuttons.

In what way?
How have you wired it up?
What code are you using to read it?
Please supply schematics, code ( in code tags ), and a photograph showing how you have wired it.
If you are unsure about any of these requirements please read this:-
How to use this forum
they are only momentary switches.
run power to them all, then a wire from each one back to your local board.
connect a volage divider so that your voltage when you press the button is less than 5v, but over 4.5 volts.
if you are sending out 5 volts, then put a 330 ohm between that wire and the arduino pin and a 10k to ground for a pull down.
alternately, connect to the normally closed side of the switch, thru a 330 ohm to the pin on the arduino and set the internal pull up.
Okay I figured it out. There was just a loose connection that looked connected. Thank you all for your responses.
