thanks buddy! i was curious about the inside because the base of the joystick that attaches to the under panel, would seem to cover those holes. so i'm curious if you routed out some lines for the LED wires or maybe had a small washer/spacer to keep that joystick base off of the wood. thanks for the idea! |

No problemo Tony :) Ah, I see why you wanted pics now. Yeah the LEDs/wires sat between the underside of the CP and the top of the joystick plate just as you thought. The LED legs were bent at 90 degrees and so the wiring etc only took up 2-3mm. I just used some 3mm washers but you could route some reliefs as you suggested. I have been trying to think how I could do this with a thin metal CP and I think I may have had an idea today that will work. I'll have to try it and see. I'll report back if it works. I don't think I would have been thinking about it if you hadn't have posted this thread so thanks for that :cheers: |

I have moved onto Seimitsu buttons since then and will be lighing mine like this which should give a nice effect with out being quite so in your face! :) --- End quote --- I LOVE this halo effect on those buttons... are these modded buttons or store bought somewhere? (IF modded ... Teach me Teach me!!) EDIT: After doing a little research, I THINK you are using these http://lizardlick.com/images/for_sale/pushbuttons/ps_14_dn_rc.jpg but, if so you have clearly modded them with lights and that black thingy. curious ... |
| Franco B:
Yes, those are the buttons. You can se how I modded them [here]. |

Holy CRAP! You must have some serious tools at home. How in the hell did you make those black screw on inserts? amazing. (sorry about thread jacking ... I'll put my tongue back in my mouth now). |
