What about Traffolyte(TM) ??

It would have the advantage that you could also have it nicely engraved with the controls' functions, just like the control-panels in last-century power-stations, nuclear reactors etc.

[Search for a local sports-trophy-engravers: they do Traffolyte engraving - my local one is surprisingly cheap too]

You may need to provide some reinforcement to the rear of typical 2mm Traffolyte, as it's not really designed for 'structural' applications.
