Where can I find buttons?
Hello, I am working in a midi controller and now that I started looking for buttons the only thing I see is the arcade buttons.

I would like something smaller, and rectangular shape.

There has to be but I don't know where to search. Any info would be welcome.
Thanks

Lots of different places carry buttons, like Sparkfun, Adafruit, Mouser, digikey, Just go into any of those sites (and many others) and do a search for buttons, or
rectangular pushbutton and there are lots of results. The hard part is to reduce this down to fit your needs.

The silicone top buttons in the Behringer device are likely made from a rubber key mat that has conductive carbon "pucks" at the bottom. When pressed, those short out contracts on a PCB underneath. (This is what's in just about every infrared remote control.)
These are usually made custom for a device and the tooling costs might be too costly for small manufacturing runs.
However, Adafruit sells some 4x4 mats here: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1611
And a matching PCBs here: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1616 and https://www.adafruit.com/product/3954

You can make nice ones with a 3d printer. See YouTube for examples.
