Works as advertised!

The Buttons works very nicely. The LED is not that bright, but it can easily be replaced.

Good Product!

a very cool product.

When I saw these big buttons. I knew exactly what I was going to make. Anyone for two player Simon Arcade? Check it out at www.pv-tronics.com

Nice buttons

I ordered 10 buttons, i actually needed 8 but i ordered 2 spare ones. I am lucky i did that since one was broken on arrival.

Sturdy buttons

They handle the wear and tear of 3000 kids a day at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. our only complaint is the internal light is not interchangeable, we have replaced the microswitch and have back ups but if we want to fix the led we have to buy a whole new button.

I like so much I drew it

I drew a 3D model at Grab Cad: https://grabcad.com/library/100mm-button-1

I took Campbell's 15oz microwavable bowl (ate the contents) put the button into the container, I wired in a stereo audio jack for the LED and switch. I connected that to an Arduino and made a buzz in game, using the four different color buttons.
