 Gona have to say that Im not that thrilled at the translucency on the test sample.
Its almost opaque.   I was so hoping for a duplicate look to the leaf style traslucents.

I think the company that was producing the samples felt the same way given their hesitance to even send Shawnzilla the samples originally.

I for one prefer this look to be honest.  I like that the button looks nice unlit, especially compared to translucent leafs.  And once it's lit... well.... for most intents, a lit button is a lit button is a lit button IMO.

As requested, here are some pics of the button lit up with a single blue led (8,000 - 10,000 mcd).

In this example, I opted to slide the LED in the space above the microswitch (in reality, you'd have to drill a hole to accomplish this without hindering the plunger).  Much like lighting a trackball, I've found that by moving the LED around, you can change the focus of the button glow.

Thanks for those.  Seems quite nice actually - as was said, the button also looks nice unlit.

How's the button action, and how solid is the design/material?

Looking forward to final price and colours  :).

:) Thank you! The feel/material seems pretty much identical to the normal Happs pushbuttons. I can tell no difference in button action between these and the solid Happs buttons.

that really looks great.  I'd want my buttons to have a subtle glow, not one of those "blind you while playing" glows, and it seems like these buttons will work just fine for that.  I can't wait to get a final quote on prices.  I can't wait to see one in person.
