The Novegems do look great, I admit but you can not configure them in the way you can the ice.

Do they have the vibration issue as well?

Not sure what vibration others have but mine feel like "regular" buttons.  No issues whatsoever.

Are you wanting to change colors on the Ice buttons so they change from red to green to blue etc?  Using the Led-Wiz and Headkaze's plugin, the Novagems can do eveything except change colors.

I want to have the most flexibility I can with the color change and most possibilities of colors.

I see that the Novagems do come in clear, is it not possible to have the clear ones change into the same amount of colors as the ice buttons?  ???

Randy might have something to say, but I'll add my thoughts about color mixing.  I have P1 blue novagems (with inserts for P1 and Credit buttons) and P2 red novagems.  In the middle I have a lighted purple trackball and wanted lighted purple novagems with inserts for admin buttons. Wouldn't all that look cool?

Swapped the LED unit from an electric ice to a clear novagem and wired up blue and red to get purple.  It halfway did the job, but the colors weren't mixed enough, kinda splotchy.  I do plan to take another stab at it, maybe grind down some electric ice plastic to mount a diffuser above the leds.

So long story short, novagems may not mix up the color from two lighted LEDs enough.

That's why the ICE buttons have the pearl color - they diffuse the RGB LED so that the resulting colors are evenly distributed (solid).

When they are lit. For example - the yellow does not match.

Not that I've noticed.
