Remember that those instructions are for the Lectra Line 1 . . . The Lectra Line 2 might be different.

Here's the Lectra Line 2 instructions. As mentioned earlier, I'm pretty sure the two plastic halves are the same for both controllers...wiring is a bit different though of course.

Based on what Earl just posted Lectra Line-2 has the button oriented the same as the -1. It looks wrong turned the other way as it doesn’t follow the general slope of the rest of the unit. That’s why I thought it was probably in backwards.

I’ll fix it when I get a chance. Certainly before we use it again at a launch.

I thought it was smart that they were molded in two colors, the catalog showed the LectraLine 1 in black and the LectraLine 2 in yellow.
The launch button colors were switched out between the two controllers.
The black bodied LectraLine 1 got the yellow button from the LectraLine 2 and vice versa.

I have the LectraLine 2, but it had both the black body and black launch button, no switch of the colored launch button.
I applied a piece of red electrical tape to the button to break up the "black". Looks like I also painted some silver on the Centuri name.

Yeah, I think those 'catalog colors' were just that: catalog art. Not saying there were NO yellow ones, but all the ones I have seen are black. I have a couple of each of these and they are all black. I think one might have a red or orange button, but that is all I have seen of any other colors other than black. Would be neat to see a yellow one.
