Title: clear player 1 and player 2 buttons?
Post by: PixelCloud on July 30, 2004, 10:35:57 pm

I want to have clear buttons so i can put LEDS behind the buttons and have them flahs and make pretty colours..

or will normal white ones work fine?

You can do it with white ones.  The only translucent pushbuttons I've seen are leaf switch buttons.  I haven't seen any clear microswitch buttons.

  you have to buy cherry microswitches along with the buttons because they don't come with a MS, but from what I hear they feel like competition pushbuttons.  They also have a white round spacer to prevent them from being see through, but you can easily take it out and stick an LED in there.

That's cool.  I wish I would have seen those a while ago. ^_^
