    After market solution for Alpex A50 scope

    The clover leaf style button configuration doesnt work for me as I have reduced sensation in my finger tips.

    Finding the control pad is a pain as is finding all 3 controls is not easy as is centering on one of the 3.

    Does anyone do an add on that makes the pod easier to find and defines the 3 buttons?

    Cheers

    Not being familiar with your scope, ( and the online info a little scant with regard to the buttons) is it possible to superglue a piece of pencil eraser to the top of each one. This will make them bigger and easier to find.

    Plan b
    Build up the buttons with blobs of hot melt glue. You can get black hot melt glue.

    Saw a similar post on another forum with similar issues, the guy in question stuck those little round rubber pads that go under furniture on his which effectively raised the button height and made it easy to feel them.
    I've just bought the same scope but not received it yet, may do the same if I cant find the buttons easily in darkness.

    Its not so much the buttons but the panel that the buttons sit in. There is not enough defined edge that my fingers can easily identify the clover leaf pattern of the buttons. I scoot over and cannot ID if I am on a button or the low profile panel
