Better than sandpaper would be to dip the parts in acetone.  That'd etch the surface quite effectively, pitting it at a much finer scale than what you're likely to achieve with sandpaper.  Good if you want to diffuse light.

I anxiously await the buttons.  :)

brandon:

ooh.. acetone.. great idea :)  I remember when I was a kid trying to clean a pair of swimming goggles with fingernail polish remover  ;D  visibility was "greatly" improved ;)

If these things come about, we're gonna have to wire up a parallel port or USB-based light controller and get with the controls.dat project to make the buttons used for a game light up...

Not a huge update, but some good news.

The manufacturer is going to start working with the color samples this week. I'd like to keep the final color choices a surprise for now, but I think the majority will be pleased.

I will divulge one secret: They are also working on a smoke color for  me. It is a special material and may prove to be too dark, but I will test it once I have a sample.

I don't have a timetable yet as far as when the first production run will come out, but rest assured, it will be sooner than later! I still need to see the samples and submit them for my final approval.

More to come....

I am working on a parallel port based LED controller. I hope to interface it to my CPMaker code.

I hope that Shawn's buttons include a holder for the light or LED.....
