Pretty much what i'm looking for the following sanwa pushbuttons.

model #
OBSA-45UK-W-LEDR
OBSA-45UK-K/W-LEDR
also omron microswitches.

Pretty much i'm trying to build a beatmania IIDX controller, what i've found so far the buttons and switches seem pretty damn expensive, so i was looking if anyone has a connection somewhere or just out of curiosity, has some to sell, trying to find a lower price.

so far i've found them in the dj dao website (http://bemaniasc.com/eng/index.php), but that's where it's too expensive, i would much prefer if they don't have the LEDs on them as those would be cheaper.

I guess hopefully someone will respond to this, but i figured someone MAY have some sort of connection somewhere.

thanks!

Don't be intimdated by the .jp site. This guy is 100% legit and all of shoryuken.com does business with him. He ships fairly fast for coming from japan too.

What you're looking for is under Arcade>buttons>illuminated buttons.

Hope this helps.

forgot to mention actually that i emailed lizardlick inquiring about custom orders to see if there is any type of hookup. lol

@jet thanks!

those buttons are wtf expensive either way. -_-

I got a IIDX KASC I might be looking to sell soon if you're interested in that.

I got carpal tunnel and IIDX ain't helpin with it. So I got a decision to make, either wait 3 months to play again(and I was already playing very lightly), or sell my beatmania shit. Possibly my beatmania figure collection as well.

Xopher lol i was actually about to PM you if you knew anything cuz i know you're a IIDX player, how much are you looking to sell the KASC?

[xopher]

i'm not really sure because the shipping on it would be outrageous.

how'd you know i was into the two dix?

I added you on AIM. If I don't decide to sell the KASC I know someone who can probably point you the right direction on keys.

Thanks, and chakura told me a while back on xi and from sows i think i recall you posting there. Lol i know shipping would be high, i saw people sell it on bemanistyle for ~$200-$250 shipped nowadays thanks to the dao market dominating.

Actually last guy i was gonna get it from i was a bit late to respond, he was selling it $180 shipped.

Also sorry about knowing that you were a iidx player outta nowhere lol (kinda did come out creepy). I shoulda mentioned it in the post before lol.

[xopher]

Yeah if I was going to sell it, I'd probably go with $300 shipped. That's probably too high though.

Essentially it'd have to be enough money to make me wanna give up beatmania forever. Not that seeing Japanese people AAA FC Mendes Black doesn't.
