Ooh! What Does That Button Do?
Today, we add two new items to our list of the most crucial electronic components: buttons!
Hello everyone and welcome back to another Friday Product Post here at SparkFun Electronics! Buttons are some of the most popular electronics components that you can use in any project and this week we are adding two new ones to our catalog. These 16mm Metal Mushroom Head Pushbutton are available with both red and green actuators and are even waterproof! After that, we also took a look at our arcade buttons and gave them a little bit of a price drop! Let's take a closer look!
This Week's New Products:
$5.95
When you need a dependable, easy-to-hit input for your control panel, these 16mm Mushroom Head Pushbuttons, available in both red and green, can provide just what you need. Designed for high visibility interfaces and industrial setups, the oversized metal actuators deliver a satisfying tactile response. Each operates as a momentary switch, meaning the circuit stays closed only as long as you keep the button pressed, making it perfect for temporary activation circuits, reset functions, or machine controls.
This Week's New Price Drops:
There is nothing quite like the satisfying, mechanical thunk of a real arcade button. These 35mm concave pushbuttons are built specifically to recreate that exact tactile experience for your custom cabinets and interactive projects. Instead of a soft, squishy press, the included microswitches deliver an immediate, heavy 'click,' so you always know exactly when your input registers.
Was: $4.50 | Now: $2.50
