I'll take your word about the buttons being extremely complex, though I'm not sure I understand fully. But that's ok... I trust you, and I dont feel like doing all that work just to see what the buttons are like.

What if I could get some buttons off a crashed car and play around with those? I THINK I'm just talking about a simple LED replacement, although it would be great if someone would explain exactly what I'd be looking at having to do, so that I would know if it would be worth it or not...
These buttons have the LED integrated into the switch portion of them hence the problems with just replacing the LEDs. You would need a needle point and scope and more patience than Mother Theresa to accomplish this. Trust me, after messing up mine the first time, I said the hell with it but I'd love to see someone do it.
