"Dear Mr. Muller,
Our R&D dept. has made many different test and mixed different materials and colours to get the most similar PUSH BUTTONS with traslucent bezel as per your samples.
Unfortunatelly, although the buttons look fine when they are not illuminated, when fitting a led inside/besides the bezel, the light does not pass through properly enough and the button does not get illuminated correctly.
The surface of the shank is not as much polished as the samples you have sent us. I tried it to light the bezels up, but the light doesn't go through I'm afraid.

Does anyone else get the impression that only the bezel area was made translucent and not the actual button itself? Now that would indicate why it didnt light properly(obviously we all know we can light the solid colored button as it has been done). Sounds funky, im getting the impression the bezel was transparent and not the button and therefore why they deemed it not possible or satisfactory. I'd love to see one for clarification as well. Hope you atleast get to see some samples Shawn, if you had to pay for a engineering run you are definitely entitled to the goods produced, working or not.

I've sent a second email imploring them for some samples. I basically told them that I should be the one to make the decision on ordering a production run or not.

Good man, I would do the same if I were you. If they balk at that, I'd say that's a good sign that something is up.

Thats why I said keep your hopes up...because they may have thought of different things that need to be lighted, whereas we only care about the top (although it would make a cool glow if the inside did too). Well see how it all goes I guess..............better hurry.....Im gonna start buying soon!
