The washing machine panel thing in my apartment has these metal buttons that are perhaps the most satisfying metal buttons I’ve ever pressed in my life. If my neurospicy brain had a swimming pool of these things I would die happily of starvation while flopping around pressing as many as I could. How in the world do I track down a featureless metal button and know I’m getting the right thing without being able to press them before buying? Are there like names for different types of buttons? What kind of rabbit hole am I looking at here? I want to refit my computer to have one of these things as my power button
I’ve added a pic but I have a video too which gives sound feedback. Idk how to post that though
You should reach out to the manufacturer and ask.
Send an email explaining the situation to their marketing department, that is usually a good way to establish contact, and just say something like.
"Hi, this is a quite weird question, and I was wondering if you could pass it along to the relevant team.
I live in an apartment building with a communal laundry room, we have one of your devices in use on the wall, specifically the model X, and the button feel of the buttons are just utterly amazing.
I am now looking for the same type of buttons for my own project, and was wondering if you can speak with the product team and help me figure this out.
Thank you very much for you time!"
