DIYables 25 Push Buttons with Caps, 5 Colors (Yellow, Black, White, Blue, Red), 12x12x7.3mm, Plastic & Metal, Packed in Plastic Box for DIY Electronics

Quick Overview
This DIYables kit contains 25 tactile push buttons together with 25 snap-on caps in five colours: yellow, black, white, blue, and red. The switches are the common 12 x 12 x 7.3mm four-pin type with a metal dome contact, giving a firm, audible click and a clear tactile edge when pressed. Caps push onto the plunger and lift off again, so a button can be recoloured at any point in a build without desoldering.
Colour is the practical reason to choose a capped button over a bare one. On a panel or a breadboard with several controls, red for stop, green or blue for run, and white or black for mode turns an unlabelled row of identical switches into something readable at a glance. The larger 12mm body is also easier to press accurately than a 6mm tactile switch, which matters for enclosure-mounted controls and for younger hands in a classroom.
The whole set arrives in a compartmented plastic storage box with a latching lid, so caps and switches stay sorted by colour instead of loose in a drawer. Ideal for control panels, game controllers, menu and navigation inputs, alarm and reset buttons, and any project needing clearly distinguished manual input on Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, or Raspberry Pi.
Key Features
- 25 Buttons with 25 Caps — A full set of switches and matching caps, ready to use with nothing else to buy
- Five Cap Colours — Yellow, black, white, blue, and red make each control identifiable at a glance on a crowded panel
- 12 x 12 x 7.3mm Body — Larger than a 6mm tactile switch and easier to press accurately, including through an enclosure
- Snap-On Removable Caps — Caps push on and lift off, so a button can be recoloured without desoldering
- Metal Dome Contact — Firm, audible click with a clear tactile edge for confident presses
- Four Pin Through-Hole Mount — Standard footprint that seats securely in a breadboard or PCB
- Momentary Normally Open Action — Closes only while held, the standard behaviour for digital input reading
- Works at 3.3V and 5V — Suits Arduino at 5V and ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi at 3.3V
- Compartmented Storage Box — Latching plastic case keeps caps and switches sorted by colour between projects
- Tutorial Support — Step by step button tutorials for Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi
