I want to build a pretend elevator for my Bubbs. He is obsessed. I was thinking of making something with wood, and a vibration motor so it kinda feels like it’s moving and plenty of buttons on the outside and inside. Suggestions on electrical components? I’m new at stuff like this but eager to learn and make something he’ll love

High click arcade buttons are definitely worth it, and can easily mapped to be midi triggers using an arduino - which makes it easy to make light or sound happen at the same time. Up to you if you want it consistent or random.
You might find that a butt-thumper, which we use sometimes for drummers, is a solid option for the rumble. Otherwise I’d look at something a washing machine motor for the shake.
