I have no experience with this seller. This is just an example seller that I found selling the same buttons that I base this video on.

finally someone who demonstrated which connector is for what. thanks
Seriously !! lol nobody shows
Thank you so much. I was so lost trying to get the LED into the button. :-) You have saved my day. Thank you for the time taking to do with video!!!!
it probably has a resistor in the led housing already, all of my buttons come with 470ohm resistors solder on to all the led inside the white housing
it's prob dim since you are lowering the current with extra resistance
I just pulled apart a green one I have, and yes the anode has a 470 ohm resistor soldered to it inside the bulb holder.
Hah! Interesting that you are making paintball props, I ended up here because I´m researchinh how to make a smart target for airsoft, and realised that arcade buttons is the way to success!
Hi, nice video. Do you know how to connect the LED such that it only lights up when pressed? Thanks!
If you are using 12v at the button, simply tap off the output side of the button with a resistor (rating mentioned in the video) and attach it to the same voltage side of that passing through the button (either positive or negative) then whatever side of the LED you have not attached anything to put the required polarity cable to that with power.
Example:
12v Positive going into the button, put a 120ohm resistor between the output of the button and the positive of the LED, (you can then carry the positive from the switch output terminal to the device you are switching). Then simply send the negative of your power supply to the other side of the LED. Now when you push the button, current will flow to the LED and the thing you are switching.
Great...Like you said I was scared of breaking the button...Cheers Jeff
After I assembled the entire large button I bought, it has five(5) connections. I only have a four wire system I'm wiring into(its a reyann button system/board). How do I get this thing wired in exactly? Thanks.
Great video to watch before buying!
how do you switch out the led from the microswitch
@patrickikis my case has pre-cut 30mm holes. Will this button work with that case? Also do you know how much space is needed in a case (depth wise) with the microswitch?
I need to make a movie prop button. Doesn't need to actually function for any purpose. Just needs to light up on camera. Can I hook this up to a battery like a 9 volt or something?
Yes
i cannot find a video that show the button to lit on press
Just connect the LED and switch is series...
Yeeeesssss what the hell wrong with them
good video. I am going to add this button to my raspberry pi 2 setup. I found the buttons on banggood.com
Thanks alot
hola alguien sabria decirme si el botón trae en su interior ya una resistencia?
Hola, algo tarde pero sí, cada led ya trae una resistencia.
thank you
I don't fully understand the point of the resistor on a 12vdc setup
A resistor is used to limit the current going through the LED.
A blue LED typically has a voltage drop of around 3v, and shouldn't exceed around 20ma for the average 5mm type.
12v supply -3v drop accross the LED = 9v
An LED should be driven at around 20ma (20/1000 or 0.02A) of an Amp.
R = V/A so...
9V/0.02A = 450R.
The nearest standard value resistor is is 470R (always safer to go slightly higher in ohms than less)
This will limit the current through the LED to just under 20mA.
If you connect a regular 5mm LED accross a voltage supply without current limiting, it will draw zero current at less than 3v, but as soon as you get above 3v, it will draw as much current as it can, causing it to fail immediately.
A 12v supply direct from the battery would cause a quick orange blink, a puff of nasty smelling smoke, and it will never work again.
very nice!
