Push button DPDT (for Double Jeopardy, or anywhere you'd use a toggle)

Here's an SPDT I have a couple of:

So you drill a regular round hole (8 or 10mm? Whatever!) and then a nut locks it in place and you have this funky silver square switch without having to work out a square hole. They come in momentary and latching.

Now I know you need DPDT — I'm thinking there's gotta be something similar out there with DPDT. If I find something I'll post it back here.

That looks great, would fit well in retro looking builds for sure. Could maybe use it for a dpdt with one of those new relay boards I think. https://www.pedalpcb.com/product/pcb519/

Great idea!

this part would work on a lot of builds. Flappy Bird

Circular (and all)rockers are always an option. But many rockers require full box depth or greater. I have a dpdt latching illuminated pushbutton I've been itching to use that I harvested off an X-ray control panel but sadly it's too deep for most enclosures. Swiss made. Iirc you can insert your own graphic. PN is 51-151.022u

I need/want that x-ray graphic for a specific build!

And this, I suspect, is closer to what you're wanting.

@Robert Will these fit on the PCB's? Id like to use push buttons on the VHS. Will these work or need to be modified? Also, where did you get those caps?

Maybe something like this DAOKI 150PCS Self Locking DPDT 6PIN Mirco Square Button Switches Kit(5.8X5.8mm 7X7mm 8X8mm 8.5x8.5mm) with Button Cap https://a.co/d/3Yy2hXJ
