Ya FrancoB and Ond make you realize that despite what you/me/us may have learned to date there is a whole new level that many of us will never get to.
:cheers:

Just awesome. :applaud:
As close to perfection as you're ever going to get lighting a Seimitsu button. Looks so good!

Great work I like :applaud:

Smaller switch, transparent switch bottom, translucent insert in the plunger top capped with something opaque. It is a fair bit more effort than for the Happs, but the even effect is achievable. I like it. Damn, does this mean I have to get cracking on that artwork? J/K I'm looking forward to doing more of that.
:cheers: man and thanks for sharing your amazing innovation.

Got it in one buddy :)
I wouldn't exactly call it an amazing innovation but I am happy with the results. I have you to thank for the inspiration anyway :cheers:
No rush for the artwork, I still have a bit of a backlog of work to get through before I can get to work on my main Naomi project but I'm really looking forward to it. I have some nice ideas for it that I want to try out.
@ everyone else:
Thanks for the kind words.
Its a shame that you have to sacrifice two buttons to make one. You can readily buy the smaller PS-14D microswitch but AFAIK you cannot buy the longer inner plunger on its own.
What makes it worse is that the only button I have seen these plungers in are the PS-14K that I used and they are now discontinued. I have managed to secure the remaining stock of them from one vendor though so I have enough for a couple projects worth of buttons.

I love all the metalwork and custom buttons. I can't believe I missed this thread last year. :(
