on the second picture ive removed the white caps inside.. i think they are for labeling the buttons... the microswitches are from lema electronics. i dont know the buttons. i think they are generic.. they sell about quarter of a dollar each.

the switches are Lema and Zippy.. its very cheap here in the philippines.  btw what microswith should be used in buttons?? because the lema switches are bit  heavier to press than zippy.
