Guys:
I just want to add a comment on the buttons.
I've not seen the K3 yet (mines in the 2nd batch), but I am very
familiar with ultra-violet and epoxy hardcoats. My company has been
printing (and engraving) keycaps for control panels, keyboards and
switches since the early 70's. Under normal use (like we hams do), they
will last quite a long time. The only time I've seen a failure, is when
we did a job for Jiffy Lube, and the grease and oil on the techs hands
did a job on their keyboards (we switched them to sublimation process to
cure the problem). I'm sure Elecraft cannot go to sublimation, as there
can be no white legends, and I'm sure 2-shot molding is too expensive.
