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 want some kind of metal waterproof flush mount momentary push button switch, but without a brand name, it’s hard to say which will give you the right feel. There’s no telling what sort of spring mechanism is in there.
