I started to use them in a new design (not the NKK ones, the higher 
resolution ones from E3: www.e3-keys.com ).  But then I noticed they 
washed out (first color, then text) real easy in any kind of daylight.  
Since I do mobile applications, these were out.  Too bad, too:  I was 
looking forward to dynamic switch labeling on our product instead of the 
customer having to use sticky labels.
