I just got a handful of handheld cases from Pactec, and I'm wondering what the best solution is for installing a keypad or other controls on them. Omron has little button caps for their 12mm switches, but cutting holes for square buttons is a pain and usually winds up looking like banned.
The main option I've been looking at is getting laser-cut panels from Pololu or frontpanelexpress and then installing a pcb with the switches and keycaps behind the panel, keycaps sticking through the holes. Is there a better way to do this?
