Off topic discussion • Re: What flat button should I use?

Hey all, I'm trying to find a button that will fit right up against the trigger of my Super 8 camera. Any suggestions for buttons?

There are literally thousands to choose from.

Things you need to consider are:
Overall size of switch - Width 1 inch max - Height 0.5 inches max
Mounting style - Velcro/Double-Sided Tape
Straight or right-angle pins - Right Angle Pins
Soft click or hard click - Doesn't matter - I would prefer soft click however
Activation pressure - Doesn't matter for what I'm doing
Actuator style - Doesn't matter for what I'm doing
Colour - Black
Price and availability - Doesn't matter

Here's your classic tact switch (short for "tactile"). These are basically ubiquitous:
