rdagger:
You could also make a small mounting plate out of Lexan and just route it flush with your CP.

Too flexible, no? Buttons get pushed on. Sometimes really hard (I wouldn't, but you never know with kids).

I don't know what shape you want the mounting plates to be, but if you want something easy you could us a large stainless steel flat washer as the plate. You could then use a forstner bit to cut the recess. This would require each button to have it's own plate but would be less work.

That's a very good idea.  Way to go!
