Best cost effective way to light 30 pushbuttons and 6 balltops to rgb leds?

Dr. Willy:

Just curious what everyones thoughts were on this? Is my only option just to get 3 32 output led-wiz's and just go for it?

methodical:

Won't each RGB LED use 3 outputs (one for each color) of an LEDWiz? If that's the case you'd need 4 of them.

drventure:

methodical's right. Each RGB uses 3 inputs of an LED wiz.

I've found other options that LEDWiz, but they're MUCH more expensive.

Plus, the LEDWiz has support from several frontends and LEDBlinky, which is a BIG leg up when you're putting your cab together.

Nephasth:

Depends if you want them all controlled independently of each other. If you have a number of buttons that are going to be the same color and on at the same time, those could be wired together/share inputs saving you some inputs.

Ya and if you just want them to light up when your computer is powered on you can skip the led-wiz all together and just hook them up to you 12v power supply.
