How Do I Label the Keypad Buttons

[gmusgrave]

In the past, you could buy a set of clear buttons, print some labels, and voilá your keypad buttons were labelled something much more meaningful and user-friendly than "A', "B', 'C', etc.

I've just installed four new 2334-232 keypads, and just found out that I can no longer buy the clear buttons!

Any ideas as to how I can label these buttons?

Thanks!

A label maker would work. You could use nail polish to wipe off the letters that come on the buttons

I've decided to do a variation on this...

I plan to remove the pre-printed label text with acetone-free nail polish remover. Then I will print new labels on clear peel-and-stick Avery labels.

The problem with a labelling machine is that the print is not crisp at small type sizes (looks a bit ragged to me). A Laser printer, however, can print very crisp and clear lettering on a clear label.

Sharpie? ;-)

Yeah, but I'd need one of those micro-fine-point ones for the 7pt. lettering!

I just used a dremel and drilled in the letters lol. I sanded the edges around the cut and then pressed down a flatter die with an arbor press and it looked good as new. Didn't really matter though, after a few weeks I had memorized the positions and now I use it without looking most of the time.
