Considering LED pushbuttons...
<< < (2/2)
Jeff AMN:
The only time they're unlit is when the machine is off, though. My arcade is pretty dark, so they just look like a different color of red and blue when it's off. I'll post some pics later tonight.

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.

i have novagems in my cabinet, but i dont have any pics of them unlit...i'll take some tonight.  i only used them for admin buttons...just exit and pause..the rest of my buttons are regular happ buttons.  i have a blue one and a yellow one.  they both look fine when unlit, and lit as well.  the blue is a very deep blue when not lit.  the yellow turns more of an orange when lit up, because of the amber LEDs that come installed in them.  i installed a white LED in my yellow novagem and i am much happier with the color of it.

here is a pic of them lit up:

Exactly like Happ translucent...because that's what they are.

I think I agree with what you are saying about the look of the translucent buttons. I don't think they look good either, especially when the majority of the time you will see them either unlit or in the day, when they look their worst.

I have the Ultimarc Ultralux buttons, and they do look gorgeous - both lit and unlit. I got the chrome bezels because it matches the chrome t-molding I am going to do, and they look fantastic.

But they are not concave, and you said you want concave. So just adding another opinion on the matter.
