Im sourcing all the parts I will need.... putting together a parts list and project outline. Im looking for some advice on which buttons to use. I want square illuminated buttons, with a clear bezel... so i can make custom layouts much like the xkeys... but i've been unable to source what i am looking for. I plan on making a fiberglass enclosure that i will custom paint. Egronomics will be a must, to me the xkey unit looks uncomfortable. I'd like to be able to rest my hand on this comfortably like my n-52. my biggest holdup is not being able to find the style of buttons that i want. With the community here, maybe someone has some idea of where to get buttons like i've described.

Again, an outline of what im lookin for.

  • Square pushbutton (no bigger than standard keyboard key)
  • Illuminated (not a biggie)
  • removable top as to be able to make custom button graphics
  • Tactile feel.

Sorry for short and simple sentances , im driving lol. no.... i do not wow while driving.... ok... maybe just a little hehe
