I'm concerned about the Electric Ice button which I assume is built differently from a standard button since its pre manufactured to accomodate the RGB drive. I already read somewhere that the Electric Ice buttons are longer than the standard buttons.

I have both Happ buttons and Electric Ice buttons. By using Santoro's method I was able to modify the leaf switches to fit in either button with an RGB-Drive board.

Finally, thats what I wanted to hear. Not stories of having one and not the other.
Was it difficult to do and did you by any chance mess any of them up? RandyT mentioned that the use of Super glue might be neccessary to hold the switch in place. Did you have to go that route?
JONTHEBOMB:
Modifying the leaf switches was fairly easy. I highly recommend using a dremel tool instead of a utility knife. Using a utility knife makes the process longer and harder in my opinion. The dremel bits I used were a large thin disk like bit and a sanding drum bit. Also, use safety glasses or you will have little plastic pieces in your eyes. Looking back at Santoro's thread I think I took more off the leaf switch then he did. Even with modifying the leaf switch they still fit snug on the button so glue is not needed.
Edit: Forgot to mention I didn't mess up any of the leaf switches, but I did order a few extra to be safe.

If not, what should I do to add the little P1 and P2 men on top of the button? Also what should I do if I want to add my own text to an EI button like PAUSE and CREDIT?

Any eta - or is there enough demand for orange Novagems? I would very much like 6 of them, but not sure if that's a popular enough color. :dunno
