Quality Push-Buttons

[Jakob Maiwert]

I built myself a Porsche GT3 R Rim and used some standard pushbuttoins from aliexpress.
Now in the Porsche Museum I tried a Fanatec Rim and Button Box and got to get grips on the rim from the 919, the difference in feel in the buttons is astonishing, so does anybody know where someone can get higher quality buttons which are more like the fanatec buttons. More snappy and a fair bit of resistance.

Cheers!

I have used both of these ones that Leo sells on his website. I believe his ones come complete with switch, guard and the top but you can easily find them at digikey, etc at a cheaper price.

I would take a look at Otto push buttons. The spec sheets with show actuation force. These are the buttons used in fighter jets, they are very high quality.

Thank you I will look into that.

I like the APEM IX buttons. Low profile, good click and illumination option.
