I think the words are printed on the circle and the whole circle is inserted into the plunger.Quote:

This is wicked!
how have you done the holes for the buttons?
There is a good read found here...

How to put art under clear Seimitsu buttons

Is this item still available?
I'm interested in doing this. I've just watched the videos - that's cool.
Do you have a parts list? Also when you put the diodes on the siwtch posts - which way are they going?
Right so I've done some homework:
3mm flat top LEDs - 3.3v x 2 colours for each button
Buttons (Seimitsu-PS-DNC-24mm or Seimitsu PS-14-DN-K-24mm)
Diodes (similar to Radio Shack are IN4001/1N4001)
2 x 12 wire connector harness/molex (optional)
Glue gun
Soldering iron
Wire
Heat shrink tubing

Good research and you're right on the money!
I recently did yet another vci-100 with the arcade LED mod.
One thing I forgot to do (and I did it in the first mod) was to test the LED's in the buttons, before I installed them and wired them all up.
Spent lots of time de-soldering. Should have taken my own advice. btw... the molex connector is a difficult step. Ensure you line up both sides of the connectors with the correct wires (numbered). I deleted the connector on my most recent mod just to save time.
Good luck and feel free to ask anything if you wish.

Cheers for the message man.
Did u mean - test with a battery before glued in? Or test when glued and wired in?
I'm just thinking of different ways to connect the wires - maybe a crimp them? As you said in your video it would be good to be able to connect and disconnect without cutting.
Also the idea of gluing the buttons in seems a bit permanent to the snap in ones. I've messaged DJTT orders department to ask about those clear buttons they were using for a while but I suppose those didn't have clear plungers only the casings.
I'm gonna get ordering the parts
