What's the latest on these edge-lit/"led ring" pushbuttons I saw on Ond's cab?

I love the pushbuttons that Ond created for his Retro-Futuristic Mame Cab here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,88912.120.html



Did getting these mass produced ever happen? I think this would be the only way I would implement LED buttons into my cab. Very classy.

Hmmm, it's not the same, but it still looks better than lighting up the whole button.  Is there a guide or more info available on how to do that?

Kind of a guide... http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,113154.msg1201658.html#msg1201658

Did way more work than what is actually NEEDED.

Cool! Thanks for that.  I might do exactly as you did when I get around to my cab.

Here is a short video of mine with the clear rings.
