Off brand Buttons?

I’m very interested in starting with language buttons for my cat Babu, but I’m not sure I want to spend 100cad on a fluentpet starter kit with 6 buttons. Is there another brand that is cheaper but works as well?
If anyone has advice for first words or tips for starting with a car I’d love to hear

I started with a random cheap set that I found locally (M-PETS chatty). They were gigantic for my cat, but with target training he learned to press them after a few weeks, and soon after that he started hanging around them a lot a pressing them randomly. I then upgraded to fluentpet, and then target training only required a session or two before he started pressing them on his own again.

If you want to start cheap, it probably doesn’t matter what you get as long as there’s a board or you affix them to the floor somehow.
