Easiest way to light up some translucent buttons

(1/2) > >>

leapinlew:
I'm looking for an off the shelf solution to lightup about 6 LED buttons. I just want to provide a power and a ground - no soldering. Can you guys point me to where I would find something?

The purpose of my next build will be speed. I don't have much time and I'd like to finish a cabinet pretty quickly once the build starts.

Nephasth:
What buttons will you be using?

BobA:
If you have some designed for leds you may have a small hole under the switch area where an LED can be pressed in.   If not people sometimes drill holes in the side and put small LEDs there.  Proper lead dressing is very important under the switch area as the plunger has to clear all the wires.

the novagems from groovygamegear are the only lighted pushbuttons i know of that are half decent and use the normal translucent colored pushbuttons. you pick the button color and led color at checkout. not sure how their stock is though. its the easiest and fastest way to do it though i think.

The LED row in Frys probably has something.  Check out your local Frys.
