Got into flight sims at some point and decided to build a simple button box with the very basics. It's intended mostly for the AV8B harrier, but can be bound to any plane or any sim. Letters are laser engraved on translucent white acrylic that i painted in black beforehand. There are green LEDs behind the panel that backlight the thing. (not bright enough though).

Thanks :) Got more pictures while making it? And a lit version? This looks really good!

not sure, i'll try to find some. I'll take backlit pictures but the LEDs are very underpowered and i'm not sure we will see them. I'll replace them soon with LED strips, but i fear the little controller board i put in there won't power it and i might need another power cable
