Considering LED pushbuttons...

Organic Jerk:

.. but the majority of them are just plain ugly...

Am I the only person who want buttons to look good lit or not lit?

It seems like the only ones that touch on this that I can find are the kinds here:

But they're convex... does anyone know of any concave type buttons with that style?




Ginsu Victim:

Electric Ice and Novagem at groovygamegear are both concave. Novagems look closer to what you want.

Franco B:

You can also use any of the 'Happ' translucents and light them yourself.

I did that, and I think they look great. This pic makes them looked washed out, because it's really hard to get a good exposure on them. I should try again, but I've been a little lazy.






Organic Jerk:

Hrm.  I'm not sure how the Novagems look unlit.. does anyone have any pics?

I know for sure I hate the happ ones, because they're the ugly ones I was referring to...  I know it seems like a weird bias for wanting LED buttons, but i can't stand the translucent button look.

I like the ones at dreamarcades because if unlit, the buttons still have solid color, which looks nice.
