I've been a satisfied customer of the TV-B-Gone v2 and just recently v3. My university sent out repair people to deal with the flat panels that MTV2 "graciously" gave out. I bet they are wondering why they had no issues last semester (whilst abroad in Europe) and they've only recently returned.
I want to build a TV-B-Gone Kit and put it into a project box with a larger button. I'm going to have to run a wire to the edge of the project box to the board. Can anybody point me in the direction of a button that I could use instead of the default one?
Thanks for your help.

Kanada. I like that.
Those buttons are REALLY cool! Is the light always on or just when it's pushed? I supposed you could hook the LED up TO the switch, ha. I may need to buy some of those.
(Oh, and at Radioshack, if those are the ones you decide to use make SURE you get normally open! The little pins on the bottom are an 'O' shape on the normally open ones, the others are more flat. It will not work with the normally closed switch. Just saying that because most employees there can't tell the difference.)

Question About Soldering Button
@magician131434
The buttons you linked to at Radioshack are the ones I'm going to use. How did you solder them to the PCB? The board has four holes for the normal button. Can you possibly show me how you did it?
I've ordered my TV-B-Gone kit and it should be here this week. I haven't soldered an electronics kit together since highschool. I'm stoked.
