They are cheap, but I wouldn't have a clue of how to drive them or adjust the graphics per-layout... would be interesting if someone attempted it though!

A lot of the higher end casino cabinets (Vegas style) have LCD displays in the button panels.

 

They do look much better, last time I found some proper integrated 'display buttons' I think they were pretty expensive... I might have another search :)

I think it'd be a bit painful trying to hook this up with MFME, something perhaps for Oasis one day if cheap display buttons become commonplace, the cost of tiny displays is going down a lot as time progresses :)

Refurbished IGT (US casino tech) edge lit dynamic buttons can be had for $24 each, but you'd also need the driver board (~$100), plus reverse engineer a way to drive the displays... one day, hopefully there'll be some nice solution that can be driven with something like an pi pico/arduino nano per button, and then have them all hooked to a USB hub, something like that.  Then have Oasis send out the images for each button, and a layout with the bottom buttons cropped off... shame they're so niche as a product.
