Good source for navigation-style menu switches?

[rikun]

Hi,

I've been looking for a while, but haven't found a good source for navigation menu style switches. Small, recessed, tactical switches with optionally illumination. And they should come in various laser etched symbols like record, up arrow, down arrow, etc.

I've looked up Farnell, but honestly I have no idea what I should be searching for...

do not think you will have luck finding exactly what you want cheaply.

minus laser etching but how do these compare to what you have in mind:

rapidonline had a huge range of tactile switches - Must be something there http://www.rapidonline.com/Electronic-Components/Switches/Tactile-Switches

Do you want individual buttons, or one that can be pushed up/left/down/right/centre?

Well, both would be okay I guess. I was thinking of individual buttons, but one would work too..

Actually I could print the symbols on transparent adhesive if there is nothing affordable available!
