Does anyone know of a provider of some nice (elegant) switches. I'm looking
for something that is nicer than the standard momentaries you find at
digikey. they don't necessarily have to be something out of sharper image,
but i just want something nice.

any suggestions?

do they exist?

Thanks in advance for replies...!

    You can get many switchs from Happ controls. They make all the switches for
    arcade machines. Primarily push button styles. [url=Http://Happcontrols.com]Http://Happcontrols.com[/url]
    Worth looking at anyways.

    Actually, Digi-Key has some very nice push-button type switches, if you
    don't mind paying around 57-cents each in quantities of 10. I built an 8051
    based programmable thermostat & DS1620 programmer a while back that
    used these, and they look really nice.

    The switch has a black outer border with soft grey rubber button. Here's a
    picture
    of the programmer & switches used: http://www.rentron.com/_borders/ds1620.jpg

    Part #: P8029SCT
    Price: $0.57 each in quantities of 10
