Wow, this is really cool. To be honest, the size doesn't matter. ;)
I'm just psyched that there is a source for leafs. :)
I won't use anything but. Stupid question, do they feel or behave any differently because they are smaller?

Could this be the end of all CP 'clicky-ness' as we know it??

Exactly what I was wondering mahsef! It'd take up a bunch of room, but perhaps we'd start seeing more ideas on the swappable control panel front.

Oh sure, the day after I bought a bunch of translucent leafs that won't even fit into the holes of my metal CP and NOW you mention these!! :)
These are awesome, ponyboy!! It's not a completely new idea (activating leafs using micro buttons), but the first easy implementation of it that I've ever seen. I know that somebody has rigged leafs to be triggered in the same manner, but it involved little wooden blocks attached to the underside of the CP (I think) or some other way to put the ends of the leafs into the right place.
I was going to rig something along those lines but with the metal CP in my cocktail, it seemed like WAY too much trouble to even try to attach little risers to hold a leaf switch in the correct placement.
Put me down for some of these puppies! YEAH!!!!!

And we have the first Mamey of the day. These things are killer. Thank the lovely and talented judges, these got one of the few 5/5 votes! I'll add a link to the page tomorrow.
I'm seriously blown away by the brilliant simplicity for these. Man, if only I was not so not smart I could have thunk up something like this! :)
