A 20-pack of 6×6 mm tactile push buttons with soft translucent silicone tops. Instead of a hard plastic actuator, these buttons feature a molded silicone cap that provides a soft, grippy feel under the finger while retaining a satisfying click from the underlying dome switch.
These are a drop-in replacement for standard 6×6 mm tactile switch buttons — same layout and footprint. They work best mounted on a PCB but can also be used on a solderless breadboard.
Key Features
- Soft Silicone Top – Comfortable, grippy feel compared to standard hard plastic buttons
- Tactile Click – Clicky dome switch beneath the silicone cap
- Standard 6×6 mm Footprint – Drop-in replacement for standard tactile switches
- Translucent Silicone – Lets light through for backlit applications
- 20-Pack – Plenty for keyboards, macro pads, and projects
Specifications
- Switch Size – 6 × 6 mm
- Button Type – Tactile dome switch with silicone top
- Cap Colour – Translucent
- Mounting – Through-hole (PCB or breadboard)
Ideal For
- Custom keyboards and macro pads
- Arduino and microcontroller input projects
- Upgrading existing tactile buttons on PCBs
- Breadboard prototyping

- 20× Soft Silicone Top 6 mm Push Buttons (Translucent)
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- solderless breadboard
- A reusable board with connected holes for building temporary circuits without soldering. It matters in beginner kits because students can change wiring quickly and safely while learning how components connect.
- TOPS
- TOPS means trillions of operations per second, often used to describe AI accelerator performance. It helps compare whether a computing module is suited to lightweight image recognition or more demanding neural-network workloads.
