Do you see what I'm talking about? What are those called? Can I just buy them at a hardware store?

This what you talkin' 'bout?

I think it's just called a PCB support or PCB spacer.

they have a much wider selection at mouser. either way, the prices for plastic standoffs are ridiculous IMO. unless I can source them in china, I will just do all my DIY layouts with PCB mount pots and get boards fabbed. even if it is just 3 boards at $4 each, I think there is a cost and also a functional benefit. solder will hold a PCB better than a sticker. some users play out in the hot sun at festivals, the stickers are on the top of the case where the sun warms your box.

I actually went to a local hardware store looking for the same thing once. Asked some employees if they had any "stand offs." I had no idea what else to call them. Employees got confused. I even tried explaining what they were or what they looked like.
They were still confused and called over the manager. Manager was also confused. Everyone looked at me like I had two heads and thought I was an idiot.

Haven't shopped there since.

I don't think they're something you'll typically find in a normal hardware store, they're more something you'd find at an electronics supply store.
