<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [sdiy] Molding your own keycaps
for tactile switches?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Has anyone tried this? I recently stocked up on a variety
of tactiles on ebay, assuming that the caps wouldn't be too hard to find...
Much to my surprise these seem quite rare, and certainly lacking in
variety. Mostly black circles and squares, ho-hum. I
remember reading about how some people were molding plastics to make their own
knobs and such (on another forum, I believe) and the designs I want and pretty
simple in terms of shaps, no embedded LED's for the most part. Has
anyone worked with this kinda thing? What I'd really like is a
soft-touch rubber material in several colors... But I'm clueless where
to start. Elastomers?<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
