I'm not sure I see a benefit of the translucent over the regular. Here are a couple pictures of a regular happ button I lit with one led:
thanks!

I will try to do that this week. As for a night shot, my camera keeps producing a blurry picture (I may need to set up a tripod to account for the long exposure time).

You might want to turn on the "timer" feature of the camera. When you press the button, you're moving the camera. But if you press the button, and then hold the camera still for a few seconds, the camera will be more still when the timer finally takes the picture.
I think it's kind of unfortunate that the first sample is blue. I'm sure it's a popular color, but it's a very dark color. Red, green, or orange might be better to get a feel for the translucency.
MrTroy:
Am I the only one on the verg of hanging himself for one of these!?

Good news on the translucent button front. While I still don't have pricing from the manufacturer, I did get confirmation today that they have completed the bezels of the new samples and will complete the plungers within the next couple of days. In the words of the manager that I have been working with..."they look really good!"
I'll post pics when I have them in hand.

Did they do something differently with the new samples? A change in the plastics, or a different color?
