Aren't those membrane switches?

The size of each button is about 3/4 of an inch if not more!
The remote is 11 inches long by 5 wide.



_EDIT_

The switch on the janty stick switch looks like a membrane switch, I don't have one so I don't know, but can anyone confirm my suspicion?
Smokin?

Maybe we can use membrane switches if we can find out where to get individual pieces.
They're so thin it could be a great option.

yeah I just requested a free sample from Membrane Switches, Membrane Keyboards, Membrane Keypads - Membrane Switch Manufacturers - Pannam Imaging

I said it was for a vague prototype for a vague application for a vague company.... heres to hoping.


Yeah after digging up some specs on the membrane switch, it might actually work. I found some rated up to 100mA @ 30 vdc.

[googled]

I've been wondering about different tactile switches myself. The ratings on them are all really low, 500ma is about the highest I've seen. I assume because they're not continually powered then it's not that important?
