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

    Some complicated answers in here.

    Reach out to a repair shop which specializes in this device. Order that specific part as OEM.

    Once you receive it, you might be able to find a manufacturer imprint, or even better, a pamphlet which indicates the manufacturer. Then go and see if you can buy whatever quantity your heart desires.
