Yeah, their website is down, great store though. They don't do online ordering anyway. The buttons are 75 cents each, a little pricy. Also remember they are SMT, but they are easy to wire, I mean I did it, and that's saying something. I might be able to pick you guys up some tomorrow when I go back to the store. Just add an extra $5 to whatever it comes out to (handling fee). I only do paypal though, PM me.

And yes the buttons are actually exactly like the ones in a controller, what with the analog rubber squishy things that always scatter everywhere when you bust open a controller. I know this because I accidentally broke one button in half and it had one inside. Oops.

Those just have a conductor so you will short the button signal out with ground when it goes down. Really a simple concept there. and yea, about to pm you with info.....
