Totally new here.

I've been looking at button boxes online and seen they are quite expensive. I've decided I'd like to build my own but I have very little, to no knowledge, of types of switches.

The main hurdle I'm hitting at the moment is selection of a key switch. My button box will be mostly used with Euro Truck Simulator 2 and I would like the ignition to be realistic. My questions is what kind of key switch would I need to purchase for it to function as "off-on-start". I don't want the switch to trigger again when it returns from the "start" position and back into the "on" position as I want that to be on a spring return.

Attached is a similar thing to what I'm trying to build.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

You want an Off-ON-(MOM) switch which is Off, ON and Momentary as the last position is spring loaded Similar to this switch but I am sure you can find a less expensive flavor.

Thank you very much.

I've been searching for hours now and I can't find what I'm looking for anywhere. The one you have shown me is great but I am looking for something with a panel mount to make things easier. Any sites or brands I should go looking for to find this? Google searches, Amazon (UK) and eBay haven't given me much.

Also, would a switch labelled as off-on-on with both on positions being momentary (off-mom-mom?) work for what I need? It's very late now and my brain is starting to shut down.
