Arcade Push-button
What it is
A large, clicky button.
When to use it

How it works
The Arcade Push-button consists of the arcade button body and a microswitch. The arcade button body has a large spring to help the button return to the up position. The button in the body presses the button on a microswitch mounted beneath it. To see how a microswitch works, please see the Lever Microswitch page.
How to use it
There are two parts to the arcade button: the microswitch (the part that connects and disconnects the connection) and the button housing (the part you press). Here is a short video showing how to assemble them:
