Translucent Microswitch Buttons*Taking Pre-Orders*

Here's the red with the lights on for an idea of how it looks that way:

What did you use for the semitranslucent washers? And where did you you get them?

I followed Knievel's advice and went to lee valley tools for the UHWM polyethylene. http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/page.aspx?c=2&p=32045&cat=3,43576,43581
I got the 1/4" thick, worked well for drilling the 3/16" holes for the LEDs. While you're there you could also get a circle cutter which is what I used to cut the outside of the washers (inside a used a forster bit). However they have it for $26 and I got one at a local woodcraft store for $10.
Knievel:
Wow, nice job. Those look great!
I did try my idea, using blue LED's in a blue button...
That's one FX button in the bottom left corner, surrounded by my original leafs. The pictures don't show it well but the bezel doesn't really glow all the way around like the leafs. Nice results though.
The leaf construction is just better suited for lighting. Unlit, the FX buttons look nicer. I would use them over regular Happ buttons in a second.
BTW I tryed a couple of different materials but my initial one using the lee valley poly was the best.
Weinerdog I anxiously await your mini-cab pics. :)

Howdy folks!
Well, at long last I am ready to order more Blue & Clear buttons. I'd like to order yellows as well, but will only do it if I get pre-orders for at least 250 units.
Here's how pre-ordering will work:
1) Send an email to me at misterrachel@gmail.com
2) In the subject line put "Pre-Order"
3) Specify the colors you want and the quantity of each
4) Specify any accessories you want (such as LEDs)
5) Your mailing address
6) Your paypal email address
Once I've received the buttons from the manufacturer, I'll pack your orders and invoice you via Paypal.
Please do not post your pre-order to this thread as I will not count it towards my totals.
As a reminder, I currently have Orange, Red & Green buttons in stock.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support!
