Buttons for tact switches?

[FA-MAS]

What do you guys use to make buttons for tact switches so that the switches can be hidden behind whatever material?

Acrylic can work.

That's what I'd like to do exactly actually, but how do i form it into that shape professionally?

For the most part, people just reuse buttons from controllers. If you have a bunch of leftover PS1/N64/SNES/whatever controllers, reuse those buttons.

That's the easiest and has the best likelihood for looking nice.

Unfortunatley, I don't have any buttons from controllers. I'm gonna need to make/buy something. Any suggestions?

Pm Hackmodford, he had a good design for buttons that has since been lost in one of his logs. The photo got deleted from his Genesis thread, but it seemed to work really well.

Found these that I'll probably end up using.

Bout the size of N64 official green/blue buttons.
