Where to buy Sanwa Buttons for Overseas shipping?

[mikudayou]

I recently discovered the model name of the actual buttons used in the Love Live TTX4 game. Attached are some screenshots of the button model.
"OBSAT-C60UMQ--HSW-12V" or "OBSAT-C60UMQ" (I'm not sure what the tiny square symbol is...)
I was just asking to see if anyone knows the best way to buy these. From the sites I found them listed, they're around ~3000 yen each! It's cheaper to buy a whole new button board than buy them individually. (Realistically I only need 3-5; some of the buttons on my board need to be replaced; it would be nice to have an entirely new set of them though).

This is the site I found them on.
https://www.tops-game.jp/products/detail.php?product_id=5732

Any other places that might list these cheaper? For overseas shipping as well?

Tops does shipping to the USA, and that price per button is right in line for official Sanwa buttons of that type.

You can ask paradise or focus-attack if they can get them but I wouldn't expect it to be cheaper (if they can get them at all). Those are the only two USA Based Sanwa distributors I know of.

That makes sense. Thanks for the insight!

They're expensive, you're not going to find them that much cheaper. I would be surprised if any of the stores outside Japan actually carried them.

Not wanting to thread hijack but a similar query (sanwa parts), would the above answers apply to joystick parts as well? looking at some parts for a
JLK-GF2 which is listed in the current Sanwa catalogue but can't find them for sale online anywhere.

Given that you're in Australia there my be official distributors in your country. I am not familiar with the Australian parts market though.
IIRC the MSRP on those joysticks are over $600 AUD though, so unless you really REALLY want a new one I'd highly recommend buying a used set of 2 for about $100 AUD through Yahoo Auctions

Yeah fair to say, i'll have to do some more googling. Actually @djsheep will probably be the best man to ask.

Ah you added to your comment, just to clarify I was only after parts I already have the joysticks bases.

You can order the parts straight from Sanwa.

@tiff_lee can’t say too much right now, but there is something brewing regarding Sanwa, Seimitsu, joystick part accessibility for peeps down under

Yeah ok. I actually presumed that wasn't an option since none of the replies above suggested the OP order from Sanwa but good to know.

to be fair op was looking for a place to buy the parts cheaper and with lower shipping charges... ordering from from Sanwa in Japan is not any cheaper or closer than ordering from Tops in Japan.
