For the buttons (with standard 75 gram cherry switch) and RGBs from Paradise, it's $40.50 shipped. A switch will run you another few bucks, and whatever wire you choose to use. The Micro-fit connectors I used added a TON of time to this mini project. You could probably just use butt connectors, quick disconnects, or even just solder the wires together to save a lot on time. If you want to do this and need some help, I can go into a lot more detail on the wiring.

yotsuya:
Thanks for the walk-through and photos, Nepasth. I just did the button mod with the same exact items and my drill, but these buttons are going on a control panel. Your photos helped me wire these buttons up pretty cleanly.  :cheers:

Nephasth:
You're welcome. Glad they could be of use. Will you be lighting your buttons up in different colors based on game selection? Now point me in the direction of your CP pics! ;D

yotsuya:
Yeah. I'm building a 4-way joystick, 4 button panel. The plan is for it to look like this:

B1L  B2L   STICK  B2R B1R

This way, there's some symmetry on the CP, and it can accomodate lefties and righties. The buttons will be lit based on the game selection. I just spent the afternoon doing this mod and playing with the pretty lights. I'm going to be using Rollie Leaf Switches, too, so I'm going to have to mod those as well to fit.
