The steps below are current as of November, 2024. Sunmulon is a Japanese industrial device manufacturer that created the Sunmulon SS Pushbutton that are used in many custom arcade fightsticks. However, these buttons were not designed specifically for fightsticks. Therefore, it is difficult to find ways to purchase the buttons on retail sites. This brief guide reflects the steps to place an order directly from the United States Distributor.
