A couple of the surplus dealers have some nice arcade-style pushbuttons. Not cheap, though (which is GOOD, because that way the expensive shipping won't seem so bad!)

eBay is also a hotbed of Arcade repair parts, though I have no personal experience with any of the sellers. This guy claims free shipping and has lots of colors:
