Tactile switches #14

Closed jamievicary closed 7 years ago

We need SMD tactile switches with a sufficient choice of coloured caps. I'm struggling to find good choices.

Here's a possibility, quite expensive however:

I think we're going to have to give up on having caps, they're just too expensive, or there isn't enough choice in colours for the SMT ones. Much more cheaply we can get simpler through-hole buttons in a single neutral colour, like black. We can then create the colour with a cut-out sticker on the lid.
