Lit Pushbuttons

I am a bit of an old timer.  Bought my buttons for my first cab over a decade ago and have moved them into my current cab.  Just plain old Happ buttons - http://na.suzohapp.com/pushbuttons/539200xx.htm.

Now my son has seen the led push buttons and thinks we should consider upgrading.  As to a control board I cannot say I see a big difference between the bunch.  I plan on using them with Led Blinky and Hyperspin.

So I am hoping someone can give me a quick education as to the current state of the art.  As to buttons there seems to be lots of different options, but not much in the way of comparisons between them.  I am curious about the feel and the look of them.

Thanks

Miles

If you like the old style buttons, stick to the IL Illuminated buttons from Paradise Arcade Shop or look at the Electric Ice buttons that GroovyGameGear sells.

+1. How many buttons will be lit? Do you want single color LEDs or RGB LEDs?

dislecksea:

Well, unless someone can tell me an advantage to sticking with single color, why not go for RGB?  I mean, more options is a good thing.

I currently have 16 buttons - P1 = 6, P2 = 6, 2 coin, P1 Start, and P2 Start.  I am going to put in two of these down where I would have a coin door (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=295) and am going to convert the 2 coin doors to Pause and Exit buttons.  So, in the end, I will be having 18 buttons total lit.

Look at how Nephasth did his button mod for the clear IL translucents in his Two-Headed Beast thread. I've done it with clear as well as single colored buttons and prefer it for the ease in wiring.
