A regular button is just a button, and a switch is just a switch. But these translucent arcade buttons are truly special! They come with built - in LEDs. That means when you're mashing these buttons, you'll be surrounded by a beautiful glow. They're the same size as typical miniature arcade controls, needing a 24mm diameter hole for installation, which is why they're sometimes called 24mm diameter buttons. These buttons can be screwed in place, suitable for materials up to about 15mm thick. They can even cover imperfect holes. The button action is smooth, without a loud click, but you can clearly feel when it's pressed. A pre - installed tiny micro - switch has gold - plated contacts. Even when unlit, they look amazing, with all colors having a crystal - clear, translucent, and glossy appearance. There are two surface - mount LEDs with resistors built into the button body. Next to the switch contacts, there are two extra contacts for powering and controlling the LEDs. The two LEDs are connected in series with a ~1K resistor, allowing you to power them from a microcontroller pin or directly from 5V (like USB) with a 5mA draw. Note that the Red and Yellow versions of these mini LED buttons need 5V or higher and can't run at 3.3V because the LEDs are in series. This is the Translucent Yellow version of our Mini 24mm LED arcade buttons.
Using these 24mm Translucent Yellow Mini LED Arcade Gaming Buttons is easy. First, find a material up to about 15mm thick and drill a 24mm diameter hole. Then, screw the button into place. If the hole isn't perfectly round or clean, don't worry, the button will cover it. To use the LEDs, you can connect them to a microcontroller pin or directly to 5V (like USB). Just keep in mind that the Red and Yellow versions need 5V or higher to work because the LEDs are in series. When it comes to maintenance, keep the buttons clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe them. Avoid getting them wet or using harsh chemicals on them. If you notice any issues with the button's action or the LEDs, check the connections and the power supply.
