Looking for MOTM style momentary switch

2005-02-27 by Robert van der Kamp

Hi all,

I'm (still) working on a MOTM style custom panel for one of 
the two P3 sequencers. (http://www.p3sequencer.com)

Here's a picture of the design:

The problem is the momentary switches for selecting the 16 
steps, transport control and edit commands. Unlike Colin's 
original design, my switches will be mounted in the panel, 
and not on the pc-board. 

I'm looking for switches with the following features:

- MOTM look (whatever that is!).
- Good quality.
- Relatively large button cap surface for easy targetting.
- Low spring resistance for light action.
- Different color caps, if possible.
- In-panel mount, just like a pot or LED.

Problem is that I have NO experience at all with this, and 
there are so many of them available. Apart from being 
broke, this is the main reason why the project isn't going 
anywhere.

Any suggestions?

- Robert
