I am curious which mic and rig you have. I would suggest a product = called
hi marks. it is designed specifically for marking appliances = safely. it
is also removable without residue if you later sell the mic = and rig.
sticky things tend to come off and leave residue that gums up = the buttons
very easily., and hi marks doesn't come off easily when = touched. it is
also much easier to feel hi marks because it is similar = to glue and dries
quickly. you can put what is about the size of a = braille dot on the
buttons if you wish.
73 and good luck
