This 30mm translucent clear arcade button features a crystal-clear glossy finish and smooth button action. A pre-installed micro-switch with gold-plated contacts provides a satisfying press with tactile feedback — no strong click, just a clean, definite feel.
Shorter than standard cheap arcade buttons and designed to snap into place, these only need 38mm (1.5") of depth behind the panel — or just 32mm (1.25") if you bend the contacts over. The translucent body is perfect for illuminating with a diffused LED for a custom backlit look.
