With the new features that CSS3 have creating a variety of button can be fun, few days ago I read a great tutorial (in germany) about creating CSS3 push down button, basically this example just continuing from that post.
In this example I modified the border radius, button padding, height and width so, it can look like a circle. And added the rotateX property that currently only supported in web kit browser, to make it look like from different angle.
This all the simple code you can directly copy paste on your editor
