I was so hoping for a duplicate look to the leaf style traslucents. :'( --- End quote --- I think the company that was producing the samples felt the same way given their hesitance to even send Shawnzilla the samples originally. I for one prefer this look to be honest. I like that the button looks nice unlit, especially compared to translucent leafs. And once it's lit... well.... for most intents, a lit button is a lit button is a lit button IMO. |

As requested, here are some pics of the button lit up with a single blue led (8,000 - 10,000 mcd). In this example, I opted to slide the LED in the space above the microswitch (in reality, you'd have to drill a hole to accomplish this without hindering the plunger). Much like lighting a trackball, I've found that by moving the LED around, you can change the focus of the button glow. |

Seems quite nice actually - as was said, the button also looks nice unlit. How's the button action, and how solid is the design/material? Looking forward to final price and colours :). |

I can tell no difference in button action between these and the solid Happs buttons. |

that really looks great. I'd want my buttons to have a subtle glow, not one of those "blind you while playing" glows, and it seems like these buttons will work just fine for that. I can't wait to get a final quote on prices. I can't wait to see one in person. |
