    Guess what!!!

    I got a free copy of the RS manual from my dept. (elec eng) as they got the new ones...and I was browing through the switches and found some nice 16mm vandal switches...and also some tiny momentary switches. I know there are smaller ones, but I got big fingers, and I don't want everything to be tooooo small.

    The Final Design:

    Could look quite nice, but kinda expensive for a keypad layout.
