It sounds like you're interested in the same issues with the buttons that I am - primarily changing the wording from HOME if something more appropriate can be chosen, and contrasting color for the button text, although we're assured that in real life it's very easy to read the button text, and I suspect I'll mostly be using a those buttons by feel so the text almost doesn't matter. I can sympathize with not wanting to try to precisely dispense silicone rubber into the text when molding the rubber overlay. If I was designing that for short run production, I'd have been inclined to turn that little LinuxCNC gantry router from his video into a precision silicone rubber dispenser, and I'd have probably designed the buttons with sunken text and filled the area around the text (much easier to do) with rubber of a contrasting color and I might have even gone full pimp and made the button tops black and the text and the rest of the rubber overlay clear so I could shine some LED light up through the text for backlighted keys. That'd impress the chicks. Or, I'd have left the text off the buttons, anodized the aluminum top plate black, and engraved the text below the buttons. If you get a chance, see if it'd be possible to redesign the plastic housing and the rubber keypad overlay so the rubber sheet is larger, so it could be used to completely seal the pendant so it'd be coolant proof rather than coolant resistant. If you decide you'd like to make some improved rubber overlays, I'd be interested in two of them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
