http://ultimarc.com/ultralux.html not sure if any one got these yet. .. they look nice, I was looking for more of a concave button but these might be cool as "pinball" buttons for the side of my cab

I just got the Ultralux buttons recently.   And although I am not completely happy with them being a convex button, I think they serve the purpose quite well of having a little eye candy.   I use them for the coin buttons and it just gives it a little eye opener, without using them as much of a function button.

That said, they do have a neat housing for the LED's that look better then Groovy Game Gears.   A much more manufactured look.

The buttons do feel a little cheaper, and a little nosier, but I am sure they are just as industructable as the rest.    They light up great, and thats all I need them for.    The bounce are like what you get with cheaper clear plastic.

I really did order them as an extra for a bigger package, but the end result is that I am satified.   Just wouldn't use them for hardcore buttons.   They definetly lack the precise push of a happs button.

Also mine came with Sanwa microswitches, which again are fine as a nice alternative to cherry.    These are first impressions, but I cannot say much bad about them.

How about some pictures of them?  Lit/unlit, room lights on/room lights off would be great.
