What up Steele?
You can buy the 12mm x 12mm x 4.3mm tact switch at Mouser.
This is the sealed OMRON B3W-4000 tact switch that I use on client’s MPCs for $0.76 a piece... (it’s on back order)

Or the Alps SKQEABA010 for $1.02...

Juke likes the flossy OMRON switches with a glass of wine.

The SKQEABA010 is a direct drop in replacement. The OMRON ones have a softer touch to them which may take some getting used to by some that are particular about that. If you decide to order from mouser, you may as well buy some SKHHAMA010 as well just so you can have them on hand for the smaller buttons.

Does anyone know where to find the big red tact switches on 2KXL's for a decent price besides eBay? I have someone bringing me two 2KXL's next week who wants all the tact switches replaced.

Thanks in advance!
