Nice knobs, buttons, momentary switches?

Looking for some nice, possibly red led related momentary switches for my power button on the dash.

Also, any other nice knobs would be awesome.

I've been after some stuff in the UK to allow me to make a control similar to the Powermate but no luck so far.

BTW its important to remember that, whatever knobs you end up with, that they be made of natural materials.

A lot of "vendors" have knobs made of synthetic material that just doesn't feel quite right.

Lots of folks swear by the flashy synthetic knobs that are almost too big to handle comfortably (!); stick to natural ones and you'll be happy.

you may like huge round knobs now, but wait until they get older and start drooping...

That's why you swap the knobs out for fresh ones every couple of years.
