Where to buy stuff

Former Member over 11 years ago

I'd like to know where to buy similar batteries (Li-Ion) like used making Raspberry Pi Portable, and charger for them.

While I am at this, can I use my battery powered device while the battery is charging?

Also, making own gamepads, is it better to make buttons like in real gamepads (with rubber buttons) http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/pcb_wiring/beginning.jpg, or use push-buttons like buttons http://s4.electrodragon.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/20PCs-Stand-90-Degree-Side-Pin-TACT-Push-Button-6-6-8.jpg which are easier to get hands to?

I pass the link to several pages where you can buy batteries to power your projects. You will find a lot and you're looking for.

Tact switches (the per made buttons) are many orders of magnitude easier to find and use, but have a very clicky feel compared to most controllers. Using rubber membranes is almost impossible without making a PCB and reusing parts from a regular controller which defeats the purpose. The middle ground is these.
