00:00Ok, so if you've ever wired up a project car, a custom PC, a garage light, or literally any DIY
00:06build,
00:06you know the cheap plastic push-button switch is always the first thing to fail.
00:10Rain gets in, the plastic cracks, and you're back to square one.
00:14So I went digging and found the 5 best waterproof metal push-button switches out there right now,
00:19and honestly, the prices on these blew my mind.
00:22Let's get into it.
00:24First up is this 12, 16, 19, and 22mm metal button switch with the LED light ring.
00:31And here's the headline, this thing starts at 83 cents.
00:35Not a typo.
00:37Under a dollar.
00:39It comes in momentary or self-locking, and it handles everything from 3 volts all the way up to 220,
00:45so it works for a car engine start button, a power supply, whatever you're building.
00:50Nearly 5,000 sold and a 4.7 rating tells you people aren't just buying it, they're happy with it.
00:56If you want to stock up and have a few spares in the drawer, this is the one.
01:01Next is the 1NO high-head waterproof switch in that oxidized black finish,
01:05and I've gotta say, this one just looks expensive.
01:08The high-head design means the button sticks up higher,
01:11so you can hit it with gloves on or without even looking down,
01:14which is perfect for machinery or a workshop setup.
01:17It's $2.28, comes in sizes from 8 all the way to 16mm, self-locking or reset,
01:23and it's rocking a 4.9 rating out of nearly 5,000 orders.
01:28That's basically a perfect score at scale.
01:31If you care about how your build looks, spend the extra buck 50.
01:35Now this third one is 16, 19, and 22mm with the LED light, and it comes pre-wired.
01:42That's the big deal here.
01:44Wire's already attached, so no fiddling with tiny solder joints on a spade terminal at midnight.
01:50It's 1NO1NC, so you get both a normally open and normally closed contact,
01:55which gives you way more wiring flexibility for start-stop setups.
01:59It's $2.15, and get this, a straight 5.0 rating with over 4,500 sold.
02:065 stars.
02:08Nobody's complaining.
02:10For a car power start-stop button, this is the easy pick.
02:14Fourth up is this electric waterproof momentary switch,
02:17and the reason I love this one is the sheer size range 8, 10, 12, 16, 19, and 22mm.
02:24Whatever hole you've already drilled, there's a version that fits it.
02:28It runs 3V, 12V, 24V, up to 220, and it's got the LED so you get visual confirmation the things
02:36actually live.
02:37At $1.92 with a 4.7 rating in 4,500 sold, it's a solid, no-drama momentary switch.
02:45This is the one I'd grab for keyboard mods, control panels, or anything where you just need a clean, reliable
02:50press.
02:52And number 5, this silver 16, 19, 22mm switch with the wire already attached in your choice of an LED
02:59ring light or a power light.
03:01The ring light version, in my opinion, is the best-looking button on this entire list,
03:05that glowing halo around the edge just looks properly professional.
03:09It's momentary or latching, 1 in 01 NC, and runs 5, 12, 24, or 220V.
03:17$2.29, 4.8 rating, over 4,000 sold.
03:21If you're building something people are actually going to see and touch, this is the finishing touch that makes it
03:27look custom.
03:28Alright, that's the 5.
03:30I've dropped links to every single one of these down in the description, so go grab whatever fits your build.
