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

    It has very few markings on it, I did find “pronic” etched into some of the metal. It was many years ago I pried it out of the rest of the system so I can’t give much info on it unfortunately. I got it from the power supply of the computer that housed the big hard drive from 1990 found here (I also no longer have this hard drive): https://lemmy.zip/post/42867255

    I’m not home right now but when I’m back I can try to find more markings.
