Do push buttons come with wires?

[hackingthebox]

Hi, My first mame cabinet (bartop) is about 50% complete. I am about to order my buttons from GGG. I went with the HAPP buttons and the keywiz max 2.0. I wanted to know if I have to purchase wires for my buttons or do the buttons already come with wires.

Thank you so much. I'm just waiting for this info so I can checkout.

Unless the seller is advertising it as some sort of package, no, they will not come with the wires.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.. The only wires I see on GGG are stated as "For light up buttons"

will these work for non light up buttons? I cant seem to find any other wires on the site.

Sorry for the total noob questions. I would like to order from one website and place my order asap.

You picked a good vendor to work with too.  I've only ordered from GGG and T-mold.com in my projects so far.  Randy was very good about answering my stupid questions and order was quick and well packed.

Thanks, that's good to know. I just wish he had a phone number on his website.
Though I think my biggest problem is figuring out how I'm going to fit this 21' monitor in this little cabinet.
I was going to go with a 19" but then I found two 21.5" samsung syncmaster 213T's on CL. $110 for the pair, I couldn't pass it up.

On the page where you order the KeyWiz, select the appropriate radio button just above the quantity, select "up to 30 Switches (+$14.50)   (+0.45 lbs)" based on the pic you posted:

P1 Joystick and buttons = 10 switches
P2 Joystick and buttons = 10 switches
Admin buttons and/or 2-4 pinball flippers (P1 Coin, P1 Start, P2 Coin, P2 Start, Exit, Pause, Enter, Menu/Tab) = 1 more wire per switch

Total 26-32 switches.

If you previously ordered the KeyWiz, PM RandyT and ask him if you can add the "Pro Wiring Set for up to 30 switches" on to your button order.  He'll probably hook you right up.

This wire set consists of 2 daisy chains with .250" Quick disconnects, one for ground like normal buttons, the other for operating voltage for the LEDs.  These connect to the 2 QDs on the LED socket on the right below -- red on one side, black on the other.

Regular microswitches (left below) require one wire leading directly to the encoder and a daisy chained ground.  When you press a button, it connects that encoder input to ground.



If you look closely, you'll notice that the LED sockets use .250" QDs, but the microswitch uses .187" QDs (Some other switches use the smaller .110" QDs)

In order to use the wire set you linked for regular switches, you'd have to cut up one of the daisy chains and splice more wire onto the pieces so they'll reach the encoder.

Doh! Good catch Scott. I didn't think about it being an option on the Keywiz. Yeah, another +1 for Randy, he is top notch.
