It sounds like you've already gone through a lot of trouble on this, which is typical for a one off project. For all of your effort, you may be able to make a silicone rubber keypad overlay. Have you seen the Jog It! control pendant on KickStarter? It has a prototype silicone keypad. Apparently his handmade prototype yellowed a bit after a year, but it's still very workable. Or, you could keep the mold and cast another silicone overlay if the yellowing bothered you. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1651082654/jog-it-open-source-controller-pendant-for-emc2-and Jerome seems like an approachable hacker who would probably get you pointed in the right direction on casting silicone rubber. Google also seems to know a lot about this topic. You could probably find a material that didn't yellow. https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+cast+silicone+rubber ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
