I love this idea Whammoed ! I love the look of the original trans leaf switch buttons when backlit but I hate having to fart around with the proper size leds,resistors and where/how to mount them ect.. I would DEFINATELY buy a couple dozen 12 volt versions (a few of each color) if the price is right.

gotcha, I forgot about that example. My concern still remains on how close this setup can be to the cp and still look good. Maybe more tests are in order....but I will definitely be going with the from the bottom yadda yadda :P
Plus I REALLY like the idea of being able to easily chain the wires from one button to the next. I'm sort of a neat wiring freak.

Cool! I will keep you in mind when ordering, but what is the "right price". I was hoping to order 500 but it looks like 100 may be the more likely number. This would be a full dollar price difference per unit. :(

Not to beat this dead horse, because I'm really not trying to change your mind :), but I think that there are a couple kinds of those white leaf-switch holders. Some that are solid and some that are 'hollow' inside. I don't know what kind Kneivel used, but it seems that the solid material (similar to the Lee Valley stuff) might do a better job of reducing the 'hot spots' that you were seeing with that method.

I'd be a liar if I said I was definitely out of the buyer-pool. In the end, I know it's just going to take me that many more months if I end up wiring the LEDs by myself, so I'm still potentially interested in the PCBs. I just don't want you to make any major orders based on me.
Could you ballpark a price for us, whammoed?

This is my hobby and not my job so I'm certainly not looking to get rich on this. The bare board ballpark would be in the $1.75 - $2.75 range. The $1.75 looks unlikely though. Add terminal Block would be around $0.50 extra. Add terminal block, leds, and resistors would probably be around $1.50 extra.

Sounds very reasonable to me. My guess is that I'd buy at least a couple to mess with and potentially six or so.
