    He said he was going to post it to let everyone know it was coming soon and to sign up for email notifications so he can get an idea of what colors people wanted so he could possibly have enough stock ready. He said he was aiming for May.

    In for a black (already signed up) and a red button for the panic swap.

    Time for you to design a Meso taco patch, something simpler than the T-shirt though

    Now THIS is something people would go wild for. Unfortunately, I have a feeling manufacturing said inserts would be quite a complicated task.

    You can buy the tritium bars “skinny cylinders” or whatever they are called.

    Thinking it would be Epic if set up like the Meso side markers.

    Ie. top button 1 bar , middle button 2 bars , and lower button 3 bars.

    Or something of that nature

    Just brainstorming at this point lol

    Good point. Now that I think of it, one should be able to source the 'tubes' that are used frequently in watches and incorporate those into the buttons like you mentioned. @mesojdm what do you think about this?

    I was just thinking a "redder red" made it look cheezy..almost fake/toy looking...?
    All fobs will come with standard black buttons. I will have a red button pack as an added accessory.(few bucks more)
    Trying to keep it simple with button colors at the moment.
    As for the inserts(and screws) .. they will be Anodized black. Again, wanted to keep it pretty simple in the beginning.

    Okay.. I hear you guys on inferno. I might do that instead of a bright red.

    Yes. I still plan on a camo. The only issue I am running into is the hydrodip pattern is a lot larger, so in order for it to fit on a keyfob and still retain the camo pattern, I have to special order 25% reduced size film. If that makes sense?
    First!?
    :bananadead:
    Exact reason why I want this one too.
    They have not launched yet. I wish I could change the "sold out" to COMING SOON.
    Black(included)
    Red- add on
    I have used tritium inserts on other projects (Trijicon makes red/green tubes for gun sights). I would just have to brainstorm on where to implement them. It would probably be in the buttons somewhere.
    I can do some new button designs to include this.. and maybe offer a "tritium button pack" that anyone can upgrade to in the future.
    Hahah thanks. Maybe not ANYTHING:hattip:

    I've added tritium vials to flashlights in the past using a UV curing resin (Norland 61).

    Several colors of tritium here:

    I'd take a black camo and an inferno if the camo hydrodipping was durable.
