There are few things more satisfying to the touch than depressing an arcade button. Ooh, so tactile! Go on to your local arcade (if it still exists) and try it out. Oh, it shut down? Sorry. Try a major metropolitan area’s hipster neighborhood. That’s okay, we’ll wait.
No, we won’t wait, just kidding. Because we’ve got to tell you right now about the awesome that is the arcade button lightswitch. Why flick when you can click?
Provided you have the technical skills to change a lightswitch cover, $35, and a mailbox, you can cop one of these from Etsy.
They’re made of actual arcade buttons (hold your excitement) that you can pick in your favorite colors (provided your favorite colors are among green, red, yellow, blue, white, black, purple, and orange)! Um, yes, I will be performing as many two-button combos as I can think of on these things, flickering lights on and off all night, feeble environment be damned. Seriously, though, don’t litter and stuff like that.
Arcade Button Light Switches Replace Flicking With Clicking
The Earth's second-best touch sensation, coming in close behind rubbing a newborn puppy's fat milk-belly.
