Help, tactile Switches

[rodocop]

I'm Working out a budget for this project. I can't find any tactile switches that fit the description. Can anyone help? Sorry if repost I'm knew to this.

Look at the link I posted above (2nd post in topic). Those work fine for me.

For Altoids I just went to a corner market and they had all the flavors. You can get a blank tin from adafruit as well. The blank tin has the advantage of not having the cover raised with the Altoids logo stamp. I am using a blank tin for mine and my friend wanted a blue wintergreen Altoids tin. The blank is the same size and form factor as the candy. While you are their you can also get the switches. All reasonably priced even with shipping.

The switches are pretty common in the RPi and Arduino learning kits being sold by various companies. I was just about to order some but remembered about the kits I had shoved away. Thank god I had some. I really didnt want to buy a pack of 100.

Can I double check that these 6x6 (base) x 5 mm tall (including buttons) referenced in this thread are the correct ones? I ordered 10 from China and they arrived but when I look at how much the button protrudes and the wall thickness of the Altoid's tin, I can't imagine much of it is going to poke through. What about the safe shutdown button that Wermy uses in the new build (under the ABXY) buttons? Again I took one of the 6x6x5 switches and put them through a hole (Start, Select for testing) and not enough pokes through to be usable (it seems). Do I need to switch to 6x6x6 (tall) or 6x6x7?

I got Altoids at Walgreens for like 3 bucks tops.
