Looks terrific. My only suggestion would be to unify where the "light" is coming from. First you've got a light coming from the top, and on the top switch there's also a light coming from the bottom right that brightens the bottom end of the raised part. The bottom switch has a light coming from the bottom left. I assume they're just mirrored of each other, but it looks a bit strange. Certainly not something most would care about or even notice, but it'd look even better if the switches looked like they were affected by the same light source.
This looks great but let me play the asshole here and note two things:
1) the blue icon should bleed color on the slanted half, too, not just the edge of the socket;
2) there's no reason to highlight the edge of the raised half since there's no discernible light source which, if present, would brighten the whole interface.
This is annoying nitpicking from me Mike, take it with a grain of salt.
@Andrea Good feedback! There actually is some subtle blue bleeding on the slanted half. Distance is farther so less is reflected. Not sure about #2 though. A bevel would catch even a small light source.

As several people noted, the perspective was a bit off on this one. Fixed the raised half to appear more "head on", and enhanced the glow a bit.
Better?

Perfect. Both improvements very good. I don't think this could possibly be any better.

Mike, I find the extra shiny bottoms a little distracting, but these switches rock either way!
