[sdiy] Push buttons with nice light action

[Cynthia Webster]

Hi David!

Our Programmer module is here for a look.
(you can ever try the buttons virtually on the web page :)

http://www.cyndustries.com/index_programmer.cfm

The button info is here, they're rather pricey, but I like the distinct snap
 these switches make.  There is no doubt about the exact moment of an
event, (Crisp Switches: very Goood...  Mushy switches: very Baaaad).

Mouser.com part number:

Omron 16mm button 653-A165L-TRM-24D-2

it says 24 volt but they're typical high brightness LEDs and
it's just a quick change of the current limiting resistor for other 
voltages,
(such as +/-15Vdc...no problem)

we are preparing  another run of our Programmer Modules as the first
batch of them sold out in two-weeks!    All the circuit boards are built
and we're waiting on front panels to arrive, so we'll be ordering gobs
of these in Red and Yellow quite soon, if you need a bunch perhaps we
can combine orders for a better quantity.

Best Wishes and Thanks!
