How did you mount the LEDs on the Trackball? |
| rchadd:
fantastic work but are there translucent buttons that will work with wooden cp's? whats best solution clear buttons and colored leds, or colored button with white led's? |
| Knievel:
CPickler I just used a piece of velcro to hold the LED's to the Trackball, lots of methods out there. rchadd thanks for the comments. Those are the long Wico translucent buttons I used. They are intended for wooden CP's but as I mentioned I still had to route out 1/4" of the CP underside where the buttons were. That's using a 3/4" thick CP. I've found colored buttons with the matching color LED looks best, the white LED's wash out the color. Clear translucent Wico buttons are very rare so that's not really an option. I think they would look pretty lame when the LED's were off anyway. If you can live with the *click click* there is a thread in the main forum where someone is working on getting translucent microswitch buttons made. Should be a good option for everyone. |

Knievel-- Love the Buttons. Are the clear or are they blue...hard to see, I am not using my PC and this monitor stinks. Where did you get them from? Thanks Thndrbug I hope to be posting my project soon |
