YAIB - Yet another illuminated button

[Marxon]

Hi MidiBoxers

There are allready tipps out there how to make illuminated buttons

but i like to show how i made them.

This are "Ink Cups" from tattoo machines.

They are very cheap (100pcs about 2-3$) and available in different sizes.

I filled them about 4 mm with hot clue.

The LEDs are bended above tacticle buttons like this way.

Now use a soldering iron with an old soldering tip

to head up the center part a little bit (about 1mm deep) and put the cup on the LED.

Done!
