Title: Translucent Red Buttons
Post by: coasternuts on May 31, 2005, 09:54:21 am

I know shawnzilla is working on translucent red buttons, but are these the same shape and design as the leaf buttons from BobRoberts?

Also, if I were to order a translucent orange and put in a RED LED, would this pass as an acceptable red light sabre?   ;D

They're pretty much the same color, and pretty much the same shape, but they'll still look and feel different, due to the differences in switch type, type of plastic used, and the new ones from Shawnzilla don't have the internal support structure the leaf buttons have.

Kremmit is correct. The colors are very similar (they should be, as they were matched to the translucent leafs). But, if you want to know how they feel and what they look like, then just look at a regular Happ Pushbutton with microswitch.
