Thank for all the compliments! I hope to get all things done by the summer and finally enjoy playing it.

I don't
At our company it is the only way how we do thumb pistons.

We used a fixed axis milling machine for the radius cut-out in the stop tabs. I can label them but I haven't decided yet, changing stop names is an issue yet to be solved. The holes in the pcb's have no ventilation function, the switches are soldered, as will be the wiring for the LED's and connections to the LITSW boards. These pcb's are normally for experimenting, and have therefor all the holes. I painted them black to cover them up, but they will be difficult to see since the stop tab will have only a 1.5-3 mm clearance. For all the pistons and stop tabs I will use boards from Roman's midi-hardware.com (4x LITSW, 1x MRG2, 1x BBSP, 1x MiDisp, manual and pedal uses UHT's midio4).
