g1275:

With the RGB LEDs is there anyway to keep it constant on one color, say purple, instead of cycling through the diferent colors. I was thinking of utilizing this to have each player choose the color of buttons and joysticks that they want.

Is this possible?

Sure. I am working on making a way to specify colors so that you can have purple LEDs for pacman, green for Donkey Kong, etc.

What you describe might be more useful in a front end application, but it is doable.

I know certain RGB LEDs have different timings, like 2 or 10 seconds between color changes, would it make a difference which one you get and where you got it from?

I don't know if it would make a difference or not. I was unaware of any LEDs that take so long to switch color. Do you have a part number or something I can look at?

On Superbrightleds.com they have the RL5-RGB-C TriColor LED which doesn't appear to change colors automatically. But on Ebay they have all types of RGB LEDs and Tricolor LEDs that are automatically changing. For example
