[EE] Where can I find these switch "caps"?

[William Couture]

I need to find a source of these "caps" (buttons) for switches. I can find
the
switches, but not the caps.

They are plastic, about 12.5mm in diameter. There are pictures at

Thanks!

Close, but not quite.

Also, this is needed in small production quantities.

Can you get someone to print some for you? If you have a sample or decent
drawing it should be straightforward, if slightly more pricey than molded
ones.

Maybe. Those look like the switches. The document makes it sound like the
caps are square, not round. Am I right?

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

Yes, sorry, seems those were only square caps. A search on aliexpress.com for
"switch cap" then search within results for "12x12" brings up quite a few both round
and square ones - most look like they fit the same style/size square shaft.

Yah, it's a pain.

The problem is, the company I work for is being asked to do a "form, fit,
and function" replacement for
a controller, and it would be preferable to have the same buttons.

I was hoping the "hive mind" here on the piclist would recognize what was
used in the existing controller
and could point me to them.

Thanks everyone!

Bill
