Sanwa Buttons

Sarge here, with a quick note for all of you looking to purchase Sanwa Buttons in order to upgrade your current arcade sticks and arcade control panels.

I've been pricing around the interwebs to find out who's got a good price per button. So far I've seen OSBF-30s range between $3.00 and $7.00. here are some places where you can find them

Akiharbara Shop

http://www.akiharbarashop.jp
($3.40) This is the price for both button and switch. They are sold separately so you will need to buy both. They currently have the largest customizable selection. They also carry joysticks to match.

Southtown-Homebrew

http://www.southtown-homebrew.com

($3.00-$3.50) A personal favorite of mine, Southtown-Homebrew has a nice selection of both OSBF and OSBN-30s in stock. The customer service is professional and top notch here over there.

Arcade Shock

http://www.arcadeshock.com

($2.95) Another site that has Sanwa buttons. They do advertise if you buy a minimum order of six buttons or more they will give you free shipping. Haven't tried them yet, but it's certainly tempting.

Amazon.com

http://www.amazon.com

($7.00) If you're really desperate, you can always hit up Amazon.com. Be aware that they will individual sellers will commend higher prices.


When scoping out which site works for you, take into account what else the site also has to offer. Akiharbarashop does also sell other items including control panels and other parts. Variety is definitely the spice of life.
