One of the things I do is use clear finger nail polish on buttons that have
printing on them.

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.
