Regarding clear vs. colors. I'll just have to see how the prototypes look first. Still waiting for them to be done. I thought it'd be this week, but they haven't given me a solid answer (I think they're experimenting with different materials). I wasn't planning on 1/2 player buttons, but if my first run of buttons sells well enough for me to get my costs back and there is enough demand for 1/2 player buttons then I will order a run. --- Quote from: cholin on March 13, 2005, 12:48:59 pm ---Then youll need either several LEDs per button or you'll need an RGB one, but either way, youll need some way of controlling them, probably a circuit, so if you're willing to spend that much money...... On the other hand, Id rather buy some blue ones and light them up instead. ll probably be down for 6-8 red, 6-8 blue, maybe some clear ones, etc. Too lazy to search: are there going to be 1/2p ones? Perhaps coin ones? --- End quote --- |

Do you have any extra info you can give us? Are the prices solid yet or do you even have a new estimate? Last time I checked this thread you were getting them from a different manufacturer and selling for around $3? |

I have tried to pin the manufacturer down on price several times over the last few weeks, but I think they are hesitant to give me numbers until they decide on a material. This is a completely different manufacturer from the original one (when I quoted $3.00). I hope to know the answers to everyone's questions very soon (I'm dying to see a prototype)! --- Quote from: cholin on March 13, 2005, 01:05:50 pm ---Do you have any extra info you can give us?

I think I would definately be down for 12-20 depending on the colors you get... |

And as far as controlling them, all you need is a multiple throw switch. You could do it fairly cheaply, that is, if you don |
