First time building a custom Control Panel - help :)

I'm afraid I don't understand how or why I would use this strip? The LED daisy chain is basically just one wire, correct? Why would I need an adapter with so many places to connect? Sorry for the noob understanding.
Thanks!

You only need 2 terminals -- the strips can be easily cut to size like the one in the pic below.
The reason I suggested the euro-style is that they are better insulated than standard terminal strips -- less chance of shorting a stray wire (or a finger) to 5v.

You can always set the exit button to be held down for 2 seconds in order to exit. This will prevent it being hit inadvertently during gameplay.

Oh, good idea! Is that something supported by most emulators?

It looks like the adapter plug is just sitting on the terminal? I'm assuming you have to cut the end off the adapter and connect the appropriate wires to the terminal or does the adapter plug, plug in to one of these terminals?
Thanks!
