How do you label your Z-wave switches?

[TugBoat1]

I am very new to z-wave and have just ordered a few dimmers to start automating my home. Right now, I am beginning with a very basic setup of a few dimmers (Vizia RF) and my Harmony 890. I would like to eventually add some scene controllers in my kitchen and a few other places. I can't find any information about how to mark the Vizia scene controllers with what the scenes are. How do you make sense of what the scenes are with 4 blank buttons, i.e. Prep, Dine, Clean Up... I see that the Insteon Keypadlinc has laser etched buttons. This would be great, but I haven't seen anything like this for z-wave. I could use clear labels, but I don't think they would last. Any suggestions? Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Bill

Tugboat1:

Leviton is suppose to be coming out with labels for these devices. I have not heard an update in awhile so I do not know if they are out or how long it will be before the come out.

Sorry

Label maker with clear bg tape and black font. I don't actually do this my self but I've seen the tip somewhere else.

I suppose I could start with clear labels and wait on the leviton solution. Are the buttons removable? Maybe they could be swapped out for some sort of etched version later?
Thanks for the quick responses!

The buttons are removeable.

In some of the early articles (OK, press releases written by freelancers paid by Leviton to make it look like an article) there were pictures of the 4 button controllers with engraved buttons. I made mention of it back then and it didn't get any notice. But there are picures of them with engravings.

I could have SWORN that at EHX Leviton told me their SCENE controllers had custom-etching options available, but not their ZONE controllers.

Don't they use the same buttons?

I think the scene controllers have 4 push buttons and 1 toggle for dimming at the bottom, while the zone controllers have 5 toggles, 4 to turn zones on and off, and one to dim the active zone.

No, they are different. The SCENE controllers have flat toggle pushbuttons. The ZONE controllers have rocker switches.

Hard to see from the pictures, but I do have 2 photos at the bottom of my EHX Show Report:
