Best place to purchase buttons?

[ProCoder]

Hello once again its me! So I wasn't to sure where to put this so I am just going to post this here but I was wondering where I can purchase buttons to make my gamebuino prototype? I already have ordered the lcd but I still need buttons. Also where would I connect these buttons? Thanks for the help!

If you're not in a hurry, you can buy cheap tact switch from china, but you won't have any datasheet and won't know the actuation force (they tend to be too hard for gaming). If you want low actuation force (0.98N) tact switch, you can buy the SKHHAKA010 from mouser, digikey, radiospares. It costs about 0.10€/unit.

Thanks rodot, and to think radioshack wanted to sell me those same buttons for a $1+ a piece!

At least your radioshack still sells electronic components. Most don't anymore.
