Who would have thought there were so many types of buttons. The flipper buttons in professional cabinets have spring/leaf contacts mounted on a plastic frame under the push switch. Much cheaper buttons have the contacts built into the plastic housing of the switch.
The main control buttons are illuminated switches in many shapes, sizes and colours with the function printed on the front switch (e.g. Start) if wanted. The illumination can be via incandescent lamp (6.3v) or LED. Each lamp can be controlled individually if required using a suitable controller that can be linked to the virtual pinball software, for example to flash the coin lamp if money is required or the Start lamp if the game is ready to start.
