Pushbutton resource

[Mt5_Roie]

I was wondering if anyknow knew a good company in the US that makes momentary pushbuttons. Specifically I'd like to find them that mimick a phone so I can create the front cdu controller with it. I've found some companies but without knowing them, I can't trust them. Figured I would ask my fellow A-10C pit builders to share their pushbotton resources.

How do you mean mimic a phone, "square buttons" or what.

 

A standard tactile push button should do the job, the button caps are another issue.

 

See item five in TulsA-10's post here.

I purchased almost the same switch for my UFC, but it is not done yet.:(

Those look great. So were do you find the button caps now? Looks like it's exactly what I'm looking for and a lot cheaper at the buttons I was looking at.

Ah, but the caps are the expensive part.

I don't know if he is selling anymore but there are a number of people making these things.
