Yes that's what I used because it's what I had on hand but the actual size of the original buttons on the case is the 10.8mm.

I purchased a set of drill bits last night. Went with a 10.5mm drill bit. Used my hands rather than a drill so i could slowly turn for precision and then used a smaller bit with some sandpaper wrapped around to clean it up and get the correct size. looks a lot better than my last attempt :mrgreen:
