button diffusers

[Brian74]

Anyone know where I can find button diffusers that fit in a paradise arcade RGB button?

Can you be more specific on which button type you are asking about?

Paradise carries several buttons that could fit the description -- a link or product name would be helpful.

Maybe give Randy a shout at Groovy Gamegear. I know he carried them in the past  and worked well for those buttons.

The GGG PGI inserts have this note.

These are designed for our NovaGem™ Pushbuttons and similar styles only!

If you don't mind going a little ghetto, I wonder how some plastic from a milk jug would work.

You could even print inserts on clear sticker paper, then carefully apply and cut them out.

Thanks Scott, I saw those too. If I read it correctly, almost 2.00 each is a little high. I was looking for clear ones. The milk jug might be a good idea. I have printed labels for the buttons. Some to to hide the springs underneath.

Here is what Randy used to carry.  I can confirm the the PGI inserts do fit those buttons as I have them and use them. The diffuser is obviously different and clear but diffuses the light like you want.
You could try cutting your own plexi and using fine grit sand paper might give you similar results but I havent tried it.

As an update I spoke with Randy about the diffusers he used to carry and basically the materials are expensive and it just isn't worth it to reproduce them. I inquired because I also wanted a small quantity. I have found other types of film used for this but it is also an expensive option.

Thanks for checking in on that RCA KeGGeR. I was just thinking about asking Randy myself. Maybe I will have to stick with my black centers.
