Metal Illuminated Button (Picade Power Button)
A snazzy black 16mm momentary button with a yellow/amber illuminated ring.
We recently switched to using this button for our Picade - it's nice and sturdy, with a comforting orange glow when it's turned on. It's also waterproof!

Bought this to replace the power button on my Picade after my wife managed to snap off the pins, much nicer than the original design but if you have a pre-2020 unit you'll need to buy a wiring loom as well for the power cable as the spade connectors need to be bigger

Classy looking illuminated momentary button, useful for many purposes but I use it as a power button paired with an OnOff Shim where you can hook up the LED for that blinky startup/shutddown effect.

The colored (red/black) harness provided in the harness kit wouldn’t fit the clips, but the black ones did without problem. Button is nice/ satisfying push in and off and with the appropriate driver provided, it powers down safely. Good one!
