SpectraLite vs. Ultralux vs. Paradise Arcade Illuminated Buttons
gamepimp:
Can anyone offer opinions/comparisons with the Paradise Arcade LED pushbuttons?
blind_dado:
I don't know anything about them, but take a look at this video:
markronz:
That's a great video! I have never seen a Paradise Arcade button in person yet. But based on the demonstration in the video, and the light dispersion, it would seem that their buttons seem to be closer to the Ultralux ones. They appear to disperse the light very well. I won't say any more, or speculate any more than that, since like I said, I've never seen a Paradise one yet.
gamepimp:
I've seen the video and the buttons look decent. Was hoping someone who actually has them could offer some feedback. Does anyone know if the standard LED lights that come with the buttons can be dimmed using a controller like the PacLED64? The video seems to indicate that u would need the brighter LED's that they offer.

I have them, I will update my build thread tonight and you can see them lit up. They look really good, the LEDs that come with them are plenty bright. Yes to dim them you need need a Pac64 or LEDWIZ. I have them with the 20 microgram or whatever switch in them. There is no spotting from the light, it diffuses pretty evenly. To be honest though, I don't think the diffusion is THAT big of a deal. The main reason I got LEDs is so that I can pull up CP wizard before the game and have the controls used for that game light up. Most of the time you aren't going to be looking at the buttons. So like on Bryan's video, how the hot spot grows when the button is pressed down, nobody would notice this, your fingers are on the buttons and when you are playing, you are looking at the screen, not the buttons.
I would recommend the Paradisearcade buttons, but I don't think there is anything wrong with the spectralite's and the ultralux buttons. I am sure there are differences between them, but there is also differences in price, and the differences probably aren't noticeable enough to the average consumer/user.
