Hey do you know where to get the ones on the bottom other than ebay? Or is that the only place to get them. I heard they feel like real buttons.
Sorry about hijacking the thread, but it seemed related.

Feel similar to button rubber contact pads, which is not surprising as that is what they are. They are a bit smaller than normal though. Not used them before, but wanted them for the shoulder buttons in my Playstation project, and will also use them for the N64 project probably, for the C buttons.

cause if you use the tact switches you dont have to cut up a controller, extend traces etc etc
