What types of cool dealer buttons are there that are more interesting to look at than the regular old boring one. Do you have a matching dealer button to go with your set? Where do you get a cool dealer button.

I'm team boring dealer button. I think sometimes folks have too much going on atop the baize. Custom chips, cards, table topers/felt, rail lighting, etc.

The same vendor also has regular group buys for other designs.
There are a few options out there. I'm partial to the 60mm ceramics, which can be customized and purchased through BR Pro Poker.

This man is single handedly driving up the price of dealer buttons.........and shelves...
Some really awesome ones in there! What percent have actually seen the felt by you if you had to guess?
A very, very, very small percent. Maybe 2 to 3 percent (current DB count is 1078). We typically use a DB that goes with the chips, so a NUTS themed button most of the time.
I do like to let someone choose a dealer button every now and then. They can just walk up and pluck one from the wall. It's interesting to see what people gravitate toward.

Definitely based on trying to reinforce the intended vibe of the night.

That's a cool idea. I could see that being a fun little thing to add to the game. A face up hand or something, winner gets to pick the button tonight, maybe even which chip set we use...

I’m with this guy, though we’re in the extreme minority here.
But then again, I’m also of the camp that says in a self dealt game, you don’t even need a dealer button. Also a minority opinion.

Like someone else mention BRPro poker does custom ones, keep an eye out on the classifieds people will sell their custom ones pretty often. Also check the vendor page for Broken Arrow Cardroom, I think he still has some custom ones in stock right now, and also does custom orders pretty regularly.

I usually shuffle through mine while thinking about the players' hobbies. Then I just land on a couple that I think most people will talk about. Then I let them choose between the two. So far it's been either super poker world or the 3d printed oreo.

(at the very least, when playing orbits of different games, a button of some sort really helps distinguish where the game changes).
I usually try to match the set(s) in play. I also avoid buttons that match the color of the tables (no black button on the black table, no tan buttons on the tan table .... )
Made my own
Hardware stores are a fun place to hunt for poker-adjacent items to repurpose.
You can DIY with Fimo polymer clay.
Countless options!

I don't see why dealer buttons can't be as diverse as, say, card cappers, as long as everybody knows what it is and it gets moved properly.

You design your own and order it from multiple manufacturers. These are mine so far but I am still researching for more options
Love custom dealer buttons!
The old Excalibur are so nice!
I like to give myself a few options.
Currently liking the big 80 mm buttons but like to match the DB to the chipsets being used that night if possible.
