The Amazon button probably has higher build quality than anything you can replicate or buy for $5+1. That's probably overkill for most applications aimed at adult users, but it's worth it here.
Is that cheap Chinese alternative toddler-survivable? Will the enclosure break and will delicious shiny metal sharps fall out? Is it reasonable water resistant? Is it coated in cheap lead paint that will come off when (not if) your toddler chews on it it?

- Waterluvian 9y agoHas the Amazon button been validated for any of those things? Ignoring for a moment that we're just assuming product quality of the Amazon product, that's not really my point. For prototyping and hacking, how am I not able to source $5 or $10 wifi buttons with a replaceable battery?
- rajacombinator 9y ago$6 products from China can be really good quality. I mean, after all, Amazon no doubt gets these buttons made for less than $1 in China themselves.
