i just recently bought bens book and deciding to try and build the psOne handbuilt, and for the electronics it calls for a tact switch 4.5mm, H=3.8mm (part # CKN9018-ND) but i guess its no longer available through digi-key. does anyone know where else i can get one?? or a different one i can use? thanks in advance for the help:)

Try searching Digikey again. They probably just changed the catalog number, or don't get switches from that particular manufacturer anymore.

There's also Mouser Electronics, or cheap scanner FM radios from the dollar store if you only need a couple.

adding on to what bicostp said. A dead, older VCR can also be a good source a Tact Switches.
