So I am off looking for a Button switch for my phoniex game.

I ran across someone on ebay selling a 100 pack of micro swtiches for 20 bucks plus 10 for shipping.

Truthfully most of the time when we buy buttons and joysticks they come with the switches and when a switch goes out we tend to buy a new button. So a 100 would last a very long time for most.

I know some just love cherry switches, others like the old USA made ones and some of use even have swiss made switches.
Now these might not be the same quality I have no personal experince these swtiches but it is hard to say no to cheap switches.

Thought I would share what oi found.
 
I hope you know you can order Button or joystick micro swtiches.
Now button switchs for 30 cents ship is not a bad deal but 30 cents for a joystick switch that is just cheap.
 
Interesting. That's actually the ebay front for XArcade. I have a tankstick. If these are the same switches they use in the sticks they sell, I'll say they're not very high resistance. If you like stiff "clicky" buttons these aren't them...

But if you want a quieter switch, they're not bad. My stick is one of the older ones, I've had it for a LONG time. I keep meaning to order the USB upgrade for it.

*Edit* Also, they have 2 joysticks, 18 buttons, 2 start buttons, and 20 switches for 40$ shipped..I wouldn't be ashamed to use them in my MAME cabinet, but I want some colored buttons. =\
