Description of 🎮 Enhance your Game Room Decor with the Arcade Light Switch Plate Cover - Black/Red/Blue, Single Switch, 1-Gang Standard Size Wallplate

FUN WALL PLATES FOR ANY ROOM IN THE HOUSE - These classic arcade button wall plates can be used to cover any rocker-style light switches in the house. Add fun to a kids’ room, a game room, or even a bathroom. These push-button light switches will be loved by any fan of video games or antique arcade games. The buttons give you a nostalgic feeling every time you turn on or off the lights. NO ELECTRIC WIRING NECESSARY - These light switch covers are easy to install, and there’s no need to touch any electric wires. All you need to install these wall plates is a standard flathead screwdriver. Simply remove the existing faceplate from any rocker-style light switch and replace it with the arcade button faceplate using the included screws. Instructions are included with each purchase. WORKS ONLY WITH FLAT ROCKER-STYLE LIGHT SWITCHES - LightCore’s push-button light switch covers can be installed over any standard rocker-style light switches (also referred to as paddle-style light switches). They are not compatible with toggle-style light switches. If you don’t currently have rocker-style switches, they are inexpensive at any hardware store and can be easily installed. MANY COLORS AVAILABLE - The wall plate covers are available in either black or white. The buttons and button rings are available in a wide variety of colors, including yellow, neon green, blue, red, purple, pink, black, and white. Choose one of the color combinations from the product options above, or choose the custom option and pick your own colors. All parts are interchangeable. EASY TO USE, EASY TO CLEAN - Each wall plate has two buttons, and each button makes contact with the upper or lower portion of the rocker switch underneath. Thus, one button is used to turn the lights on, and the other button turns the lights off. The wall plates and arcade-style buttons have a smooth, glossy finish that makes cleaning especially quick and easy.

Clumsy button, long screws

So the buttons need springs or something to keep them taut off the wall, they are just too loose when installed. And who sent plate screws for so long? Oh my god you know the screws go into the socket itself and the panel is flush with the wall. Correctly?

Pros
  • I keep my fists

Fingers crossed it works on your Switch

The design is really unforgiving. If it doesn't get lost with a decent clearance between the plate and the wall, it's too close to the bottom rocker switch, causing one side of the switch to remain depressed. Even after trying to change it to make it work, it just didn't work. That means I replaced my entire switch for no reason.

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Long wait

Looks great, easy assembly.

I installed it in my daughter's room, glad I have some electrical engineering experience. The screws included in the kit are very long. To get them through the holes I had to remove the switch and drill holes behind it. That's because I have a pine heart. If you have drywall you should be fine. Just a warning that it might be a challenge to get it. Anyway, my daughter LOVES her pink buttons! It's worth the extra steps.

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • No Instructions

Now you play with power!

Bought to control the lights in my gallery at home. This took less than a minute after setting my rocker switch to the correct depth and works great. Everyone who enters the room is talking about it and wants to push buttons all the time! I've seen some other reviews mentioning issues with the function, but you just have to fiddle with the switch to get it where it needs to be. Overall this is excellent value for money.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Minor issues

Playroom must-have

I like it very much. Works perfectly. I was a little disappointed at first as the buttons were very loose. But while it obviously never feels that bouncy, if you screw it in nice and tight the knobs tighten, don't rattle as much and get a bit of drag behind you. I really enjoy using them now and the sound they make is great. A little louder and sharper than the button in an arcade machine, but still satisfying. Optically they are absolutely perfect.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • No machine

Unique and fun light switch

My son loves his new light switch and so do I. Now turning the light on and off is so much fun! I actually had to match it to our existing light switch and I actually had to install it over the existing panel to make it flush. but that may have to do with how the original switch was installed (because our house is old and has walls). I put a very thin self-adhesive felt on the back of the buttons to make it quieter, otherwise I found the buttons to be a bit loose and noisy. Would definitely buy

Pros
  • Sturdy design
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Just what my playroom needed!

Saw this cover on a pinball collectors forum and didn't realize how much a game room needed it. Installation was a little tricky, I annoyed my electrician brother who installed the rocker light switch for me by suggesting securing the buttons with tape, he spent a lot of time lifting them off the ground during the installation. Very happy with the quality, the lid and buttons have a solid feel which I think will last and let's be honest it looks pretty darn cool. Such a simple idea of making an

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Expensive

New at best, but could be more functional.

This item is new at best. I really don't feel that the product lives up to what it is sold for. I'm someone who has always had a fighting joystick, it's basically an arcade joystick that you plug into your computer or game console to play a fighting game like an arcade game. The switch is the same concept in terms of its buttons, except they don't rebound, they literally have no spring play at all. If you click one of the buttons after setting it, it just stays there. So it's pretty much a…
