Translucent Microswitch Buttons **www.fxbuttons.com**
AmericanDemon:
Those look awesome in the darker shots. I cannot wait. Someone could make a small bundle creating wiring harnesses prebuilt to light these with. Make a standard PC molex connector, wire up the entire series with LEDs and resisters. Basically plug and play. 3 led, 4led, 6, 7 or however many LEDs perharness, make that be custom for each customer.
Hmm. Wish I knew enough about them, I'd do it just so the service was available, but alas, I do not. If someone were to draw out the layout needed, I would be willing to do the labor and front the money for them. I just don't know how to do it mathematically.

Does anybody have the picture of the inside of a microswitch? Is there enough room to maybe add a LED right in the top of it if the LED were sanded down?

I never opened a microwsitch, but why not just get a surface mount LED and stick it to the top of the switch casing instead?

Shawn,
It appears that I'm still not clear on something.
Are you lighting the button via the normal method (drilling a hole the same size as the led in the bottom center of the shell and press-fitting the LED so it faces the back side of the plunger?)
Or are you lighting the whole shell from the outside?
Just curious as to what we are looking at.
Thanks,
RandyT

I think he posted that he was just loose fitting the LED into the space behind the plunger.
