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!
