Nice buttons thread

I am thinking to order illuminated switches from NKK.

Since I can’t lasercut button cap, these buttons have removeable cap, so I think it is possible to place a transparent film under it with printed symbol. Not beautiful, but should be OK. Anyone tried these?

Farnell offers them for about 2-3EU.

And was about to post about how NKK are stupid overpriced… Then I read this:

And realised you’ve already noticed :wink:

Any cheaper buttons? :slight_smile: I am also thinking about Omron B3W-9000 (posted here before), for about 2USD. Any other alternatives?

those? http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,12159.msg116159.html#msg116159

With no caps? No…

Sparkfun have icecubes!

Icecube Light Pipe Switch

Description: Icecube is a creative combination of a light pipe and a switch. It’s basically a clear button that you can light up to be any color! The plastic allows any light source to be routed into the clear plastic. The Icecube then clips to the head of a regular momentary switch.

US$1 - $1.25ea

They have many other switches, and their prices are okay.
