Xiaou2:

  I would not buy a smoke color.  Nor a frosted.   Id want pure clear.

  Think about it.. the button shape will be curved and thick.   This will distort the image on the other side.  Also, the lighting will further mask things.

   Of course, The wico clear buttons also used an internal support structure.  The I-beam-like trails form a cool little design and help to mask whats below.  Something like this could also be done if nessessary.

If you have a problem because you can see the insides of your panel, put like a piece of paper in the very bottom of the plunger or something.  This way the button is pure and you can't see the inside, but it also looks nice.

Some guy found clear buttons on a PC stick that he scavenged and used on his MAME.. It was a Pelican stick, don't remember the exact name.
Flinkly:
the pelican sticks are built for console...pelican is an accessories manufacturer...here's the link to em.

and the arcade panel is on the sixth page of the ps2 stuff...they do sell nice stuff, but i would be wary of quality.  you could always write to find out where they get their buttons....
shawnzilla:
heh, I forgot about those. Way back when I started my search for the translucents, I saw one of these control panels in a store. I tried emailing Pelican about it and never got an answer.
