Translucent Microswitch Buttons **www.fxbuttons.com**
shawnzilla:
Good news of sorts! A production manager from IL just called me and we discussed what I am looking for and minimum production runs, etc... He is going to speak with the injection molding manager this week and discuss the options for creating the translucent colors.
He was primarily concerned about what type of illumination would be used for these, due to heat vs. material used. He said that different colors have different heat tolerances. I told him that my guess is that most people will be using LEDs, so that heat tolerance isn't a big factor.
He was somewhat shocked that Happs was not willing to help me out. He is going to check into the reasons for this.

...because Happs is a seller in a shrinking market... = not a risk taker.

How much different in color and design are we actually talking about these being different that the translucent microswitch buttons that are already available from
Centsible Amusements ?
Any one used these? Perhaps the manufacturer that they use are open to design change or different material options if the color or quality of these are sub par.

I haven't seen one of those in person, but just by the photo I can tell they are "Sanwa" style buttons. The top of the button is rounded (convex) rather than a depression (concave).

good catch
