Personally, I'd like to see Brian take a stab at grayish translucent buttons.

I agree. I would also like to see purple ones. I seem to remeber early sketches of the Mk2 with a blue screen and purple buttons and knob. I think that would look wicked awesome.

I am very clumsy when it comes to soldering, but if Rob is right about the solder paste I might be willing to try this mod.
