Good button, but the leads are a bit flimsy. The LED was dead on arrival.

Bought this as a replacement on a PiCade (after blowing the LED testing it). A good value button.

poor quality item , pins of different sizes baffle picade builders the arcade loom needs slight adaption to work and you need to “nip” up when applied to the pins which easily break , if you’re buying a picade put a couple more in your basket , £3 is also extremely expensive for a cheap switch, pimoroni ditch this as the picade doesn’t need a cheap led switch and include a non led switch of better quality, the picade build is spoilt by this switch , everything else in the kit is superb and of great quality

Works as advertised. I was not thrilled about how dim the LED in the light is. It only lights up a portion of the button itself. In a bright room it can be sort of difficult to notice.

Contacted the super friendly staff to have my faulty illuminated button replaced. Excellent support, folks! The new one was sent within a few days and is working fine. Thanks again.

Does its job fine - just be wary of the pins as they seem very delicate. The first one of these I had - provided with a Picade kit - was already broken when it arrived; The pins would just disappear inside the body when you tried to attach the spade connectors. The replacement button was ok but I felt I had to handle it very gently to be on the safe side.

Les 4 fiches sont très fragiles et s'enfoncent si l'on force un peu pour brancher les câbles fournis. C'est le point faible de ce bouton. Attention donc lors du montage. Sinon, c'est un bon produit.

Be careful when using tight connectors as the pins easily get loose rendering the button unusable

Simple to use/install and a great size for most projects. Coupled with the wiring loom, it took only a couple of minutes to get this connected and the power off script installed.
