Rasb-Pi Buttons?

Ok, so i see Ben using some cool loking neutral buttons for his build.

So ive been trying for an hour to find someplace that sell these neutral buttons. Not the exact ones just any that isnt a ps or xbox button.

Any sites you know about?

Please help since im getting kinda frustrated over here.

Many of the buttons you see Ben makes himself using a laser cutter. At least the caps/face part. The mechanical part is just a traditional button.

So if you see something basic, round, with a A on it or something like that its probably something he cut himself on the laser cutter out of acrylic plastic with a reflective back on it.

Yeah i was talking about the Portable Pi. It's not so much the specific buttons im looking for as to where i could get theese kind of buttons. Im not trying to get his exact just somewhere u can get buttons and D-pads and such that might possibly not be from a existing controller.

There probably is a place that sells those buttons already, but otherwise you can probably find them on thingaverse as stl's or dxf's or design them yourself and then have a place like ponoko or shapeways make them for you in 3D printing or in laser cut materials.
